This commercial made an Arizona man boycott Jack in the Box. He believes the latest "stoner" commercial for 99-cent tacos promotes driving under the influence. Phoenix television station KPHO reports the man "admitted his one-person crusade will probably have little effect, but he hopes those who see or hear about his call to boycott will give it a second thought."
We're here to second think it.
This reporter is seeing "stupid" over "stoned." See for yourself, and add a comment below.

I agree with you: I see stupid. The guy didn't seem drunk or stoned to me - he's not slurring his words or giggling to himself.

That was not drunk or stoned. The intent was for a laugh and it portrays the stupidity of some of the younger generation!

I think it is brilliant.

Imagine if somebody that stupid were actually stoned.
