"They had to ask ... And then the Lay's Potato Chip ad that aired nationally in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl ended with farmers saying the best spuds come from their home: Texas.
Yes - that's also the home of the TCU Horned Frogs. "I was so upset by it, and then they played it again," said Bronco fan Luci Willits. "I don't think they know what potatoes mean to this state."
She wasn't the only one upset. Bronco Nation vented via social networks about the company - Tostitos and Lay's are products of Frito-Lay, headquartered in Texas.
Lay's wasn't choosing sides. The ad was created in May, Frito-Lay spokesperson Chris Kuechenmeister said. "It wasn't to suggest that we think Texas potatoes are any more important to the Lay's brand than any other potatoes in the country."
No offense taken. There's no animosity, said Frank Muir, Idaho Potato Commission CEO. "They love our growers. They buy a lot of our potatoes," Muir said. Besides, Idaho spuds were touted in their own commercial Monday night. "We think the two biggest icons are Idaho potatoes and Boise State football." And for the record, Idaho grows almost 28 percent of the country's spuds. Texas? A pint-sized 1 percent."

I am very worried about what has become of people. The need for a warning label on coffee cups, stating that their hot coffee is... hot, the constant need for people to sue people over stupid ***, everyone getting all butt hurt over nothing. I fear the end of humanity is near.

And people wonder why I'm always so bitter
I'm going to campaign to become President. When I make it into office, I'm going to bring back federalism and I'm going to try and end *** like that.

When you run, let me know and I'll be sure to vote for you.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
