Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT)
We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 7:00 am Eastern (and sometimes earlier!). Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads.

This series was produced by Chipotle, but its a comedy series and I thought the first few episodes were actually rather good. Ray Wise plays the PR guy and was a great choice. He always manages to make his roles fun.
You can view it on Hulu without a subscription, just registration. (That is true at least of a few episodes. I didn't watch all of them. A paid subscription might be necessary to watch the whole series.
This is actually one of the more ingenious forms of marketing I've seen. The series is funny enough that most people will stick with it. Although the comedy is over the top, they also mention some unfortunate facts about the way we farm food that will get people's attention.
It's quite smart. They don't have the marketing budget of most Restaurant chains, and spending their money this way actually makes sense because their customers watch fewer commercials on average then the average consumer.
Have a nice day and watch out for the exploding cows.
