Taco Bell-oney. (It's double balony week!)

Taco Smell has a new ad campaign out touting their "Drive-Thru Diet," featuring a spokewoman who claims to have dropped 54 pounds eating from their "Fresco" menu for lunch or dinner.

Here's CNN blasting the Drive-Thru Diet.

And here's ABC's turn at bat, from which comes the truly rad quote:

I have a hard time believing that dieters belong at Taco Bell. If the local adult bookstore opened a children's section, would you let your child go there? If the corner liquor store served fresh squeezed juices and egg-white omelets, would it be a suitable place for an alcoholic?

Keep eating junk, just eat less of it. I guess that works, kinda. Maybe the Twinkie Diet comes next. But still, there's something amiss here. Note that Christine Dougherty, the hottie in the photo, claims to have lost all that weight by cutting 500 calories out of her daily intake, thus eating 1250 a day. So, if you do the math, that means Chrissy's alterego, the heavier one in the black blouse, gained and maintained her weight eating 1750 calories a day which, anyone with half a brain knows, is complete hogwash -- or cerdo lavandose as my Spanish dictionary says they say south of the border.

But, apparently, we half-brainers aren't the target market for this particular diet, so if you're one of the dopey lemmings that'll fall for this crap, make sure to drive -- don't walk or run because the diet doesn't call for that -- to your local Taco Bell and let the transformation begin.
