Esta promoción es estúpida.
Hey Phillies phans! Inspired by Taco Bell, Wawa just announced a new promotion: if anyone gets a ground-rule double tonight, you can receive a free small cup of coffee two Thursdays from now, between 2:00 and 5:00 AM. (Participating Wawa stores only.)
No, Jen -- not seriously. This was just a comment on the lameness of that World Series Taco Bell promotion. A free taco next Tuesday between 2:00 and 6:00 PM? They couldn't pull off, "all day tomorrow"? If you're going to do a promotion, do it right. That includes cutting out the sideline interview of the Taco Bell CEO. People who watch baseball tend to, you know, like and respect the game; why insult them with this bullshit?
sar • casm (sär'kāz'əm) n. 1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound. 2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.

So is this real or isn't it?
Here, maybe this will help:
