The Rest: When something just doesn't fit into one of Frumpzilla's other categories or filters, or simply has a general appeal, or no appeal whatsoever, we drop it here...
Hardees (don't ever call it Carl's Jr. around us) has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the scenic, cultural mecca that is Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Apparently, however, solid, yet simple, hamburgers and all beef hot dogs, classic "Big" roast beef sandwiches, and tater tots don't really cut the mustard anymore. Well, they haven't for awhile, I guess.
Remember Hardees' relatively brief stint with fried chicken? Some said it was better than KFC. How about the Frisco Burger? Still, quite possibly, the reigning champion in the "Most Likely to Trigger Spontaneous Cardiac Arrest" category at the Fast Food awards.
More recently, though, Hardees has gone in a slightly different direction: Bigger, thicker, juicier meat (or cheese paper) that beautiful, scantily clad, women (or blue collar manual labor) are more than eager to wrap their hands around, get a little messy, and gobble down. Hey, it works, right? Pushing the envelope a bit, maybe, but who couldn't get behind that? Well, someone in the marketing department, while certainly behind it, apparently felt they hadn't pushed quite hard enough; decided it was time to come out with a full on thrust...
Apparently there's an entire lineup of these spots. Make the Jump for some more...
As most of our hundreds of thousands of readers have probably noticed, Frumpzilla has been on the mend for awhile now. Still is, really, but, despite our current state of flux, we just couldn't resist paying homage to one of our favorite secular holidays. We could, however, fail to come up with anything original, and instead recycle our incredibly popular Secretaries' Day article from last year. Don't worry, though, the advice is still good...REALLY good, so enjoy celebrating Secretaries' Day 2009 with these helpful tips and suggestions...
But please don't take that assessment the wrong way, Frumpsters. With those qualifiers, such a video could still be, generally speaking, pretty damn shitty, and that's basically what we have after the jump.
So yeah, a trusted source just informed me that North Carolina State alumnus John Tesh is responsible for that envigorating, nearly unforgettable jam/theme song for the "NBA on NBC". Yes, Wolfpackers, I'm afraid it's true, and on both counts. Now, if an acquaintance, or even a complete stranger, had told me that over a pint or ten down at the local watering hole, I'd of called them a bald-faced liar and asked them to kindly leave. Otherwise, fistifcuffs would almost certainly ensue, and understandably so. I mean, I just don't take the alleged association of things like competitive sports and John Tesh lightly, and I've always felt such sentiment was perfectly reasonable...UNTIL NOW
Well, Frumpsters, Valentine's Day is right around the corner tomorrow, and I'm fairly certain there are quite a few lonely hearts out there that could use a little help landing a last second date. Sure, you could pick up a Cosmo, or Men's Health or something on your way out the grocery store, or maybe try to squeeze in a marathon of that weirdo on VH1, but all that costs valuable time and money, and who really wants to expend any more of such resources than you already have to on a date, let alone one on Valentine's Day.
Unfortunately, I'm confident that I'm in no position to give anyone dating advice, far from it, actually, but I do know "good" advice when I hear it...even if I have to eavesdrop, which is what I did on my lunch break the other day...
As long as you're Asian, of course. Or perhaps at least Fasian. Either way, you have to hand it to this guy. Some folks may never find true love, you know. Some may never even know what they're looking for, but not this guy. He knows exactly what he wants, and he's going after it...and not so subtly at that. In honor of Valentine's Day, and all you lovers out there, and, obviously, all you lonely hearts, I give you this lovely, poignant reminder that there is, in fact, hope...

Everyone loves a good corporate complaint letter. We see some of the better ones pop up from time to time, and they rarely fail to elicit a laugh. Occasionally, however, one comes along that truly flirts with the sublime, and we may very well have one here.
Came across this gem whilst immersed in my ritual morning perusal of foreign newspaper publications. Apparently this guy was so disappointed with the food and other amenities provided on his Virgin Airlines flight from Mumbai to London that he took the time to write Sir Richard Branson himself a rather epic account of his unsavory voyage, complete with photographic evidence. It's a treat.

So I'm sure you've all heard the reports about President Obama wearing bullet proof clothing during the inaugural ceremonies on Tuesday. Yeah, it's true. See that strapping overcoat up there? Bulletproof. Shirt? Bulletproof. Tie? Bulletproof. That Q-Ray Bracelet thing on his right wrist? Bulletproof, and all thanks to one Miguel Caballero, a Colombian designer that specializes in such attire.
Naturally, upon learning about this garb, I was like, "okay, where can I get some?". I mean, every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed, bulletproof man, right? Just look at how freakin' turned on Michelle is in that picture. I need more of that in my life ("that", of course, being more women looking like they can barely resist the urge to tear my bulletproof clothes off and get all freaky naughty with me).
Sadly, after I reexamined the prospect of donning bulletproof threads, I realized that my all too zealous imagination may have gotten the best of me. How am I going to pull off bulletproof clothing? How could I justify it? Sure, I probably could afford it (believe it, ladies...), but I'm just not THAT important. I mean, Presidents, Kings, Prime Ministers, I'm sure these are the ilk of folk that keep Miguel Caballero in business.
Well, I decided to research this, just to be sure, and I was right...except for one glaring loophole. A loophole that may just allow the common, independently wealthy, everyday man, such as myself, rock some bulletproof fashion, too...
Thought I'd note the enormity of the occasion with an entry. No matter your political leanings, this was truly an amazing day for our country. Good luck, President Obama.
