Potatohead

The Denny’s restaurant chain had been enjoying a wave of positive publicity after its most recent offer of free breakfasts, made in commercials that ran during the Super Bowl on Feb. 7. But a subsequent spot has earned the wrath of many consumers.

The spot promoted another offer: to recognize the 150^th anniversary of the end of the Irish famine, Denny’s would serve French fries and pancakes in all-you-can-eat portions.

Wut? When you work alone, it is easy to forget how stupid people can be when the work in groups, especially when those groups are in advertising.
