Poor Italians
So have you ever been to a really nice Italian restaurant? Maybe you have known an Italian who lives in America and has made you the best Italian food you have ever had. Maybe you have even been to Italy and experienced the sweet aromas, delicious flavors and great culture in person. I imagine you have told everyone about the most authentic Italian food you have eaten and wish you could relieve it again. Now put yourself in the shoes of Italians who eat this wonderful food everyday. So here is the commercial, Pizza Hut claims to be in Italy and secretly serves the lasagna to Italians who then rave about how it is the best lasagna they have ever had. Are you kidding me! You expect use to believe that a group of native Italians are eating Pizza Hut lasagna and having the time of their life. We have two options here. Either these Italians were hand selected because of their lack of taste buds or this idea. Pizza Hut took a gamble on shooting a commercial in Italian with subtitles knowing that Americans don't speak Italian and that they could have the subtitles say whatever they wanted. They knew that if Italians saw the commercial it wouldn't matter because real Italians would never buy from Pizza Hut in the first place so they wouldn't be losing a customer base. I took a college level Italian class and learned a few things myself. What they are really saying is this, " This is the worst crap I have ever put in mouth." "It tastes like an American fast food chain made this garbage." "I am only smiling because this is too funny and my mind can't comprehend what this mystery restaurant is serving us." So imagine you're an Italian in Italy walking down the street with your friends and family and suddenly someone says please enter this mystery restaurant and everyone must eat lasagna. "Oh, OK, this sounds like a great idea. Come on everybody lets go inside." Does Pizza Hut think we are morons, that cheap ingredients made by 16 year old kids who only work at Pizza Hut for 4 weeks is going to provide us with a lasagna that rivals if not surpasses homemade lasagna from Italy! All I have to say is if those Italians were telling the truth they should be exiled from Italy. So who is the joke on, Americans or Italians. Good one Pizza Hut.
