Are you a French Fry or a Diamond?

Way FM is one of my favorite radio stations. It's a station that plays alternative christian music. Now it's not for everyone and I realize this but the DJ Wally, has to be for everyone. The man is funny. Today while I'm listening and jammin' out to some 'I love Jesus' song, this commercial comes on that is suppose to make you think about your life and help you become a better person. Typically I find the little commercials really good and thought provoking; however, today's really missed the boat. I actually wanted to call Wally and ask him what were they thinking.
The commercial asked girls if they were a french fry or a diamond. That your true love wants a diamond and no french fry. Well, great... except that our society proves that McDonald's is making a killing on their fries and jewelry stores are closing down faster than we can comprehend. Another thing that got me laughing about this commercial was the whole idea of trying to compare 'slutty' actions to a french fry. Who does that? Where in this crazy world of comparing everything to each other and one another, did french fries become the slutty food for society? Why didn't they use dipped Strawberries or chocolate covered cherries, those seem a little more provocative to me? But hey, maybe I'm just mad because deep down I might have a little French Fry, myself. ;-)
