He'd like to buy the world a Coke and some ketchup

The Food Monkey considers those ads now gracing some stations (such as Government Center and Back Bay) with the chef sneering at the Pepsi drinkers of the world:

... It seems that Chef Colicchio suggests pairing your diet coke with something that appears a burger/seafood paella hybrid, with a pile of polenta covered in ketchup as a side. I am most glad to see this, as up until this time, I had believed myself to be alone in my Diet Coke and paella burger dining practices. ...

Speaking of T ads, what's up with the schizophrenia at South Station, which can't decide if it should promote Macs or Windows?

And another thing...

I will not be lectured to on "good taste" by a man in his upper 40s who still wears a soul patch.

Those ads drive me nuts!

Every time I see them, I wonder what marketing genius thought it would be a good idea to take a creepy looking "master chef" who is not very well known, cartoonify him so he seems even creepier, and then have him scowl at the passersby. Also dreary silver/gray background + dingy Back Bay = depressing. The whole thing actually makes me drink *less* Diet Coke.
