I could not believe my eyes when this tip came in -- apparently, the Food Network is running "subliminal" advertising now on its network, as there was a one-frame McDonald's ad during the "Iron Chef" show recently.

There is a virtual zero percentage proposition that this was a mistake (how could that be?), so I'm left with utter disgust in how a decent programming network could have "sold out" to a company that produces some of the most unhealthy food imaginable.

It does taste good -- that is, if you have a penchant for clogging some arteries. I don't. Watch this amazing video over on YouTube here. Is this really a ploy for free viral marketing by McDonalds, real one-frame advertising spots or just a mistake? You make the call.
