Best Part of ‘Lost’ Finale? The Barbecue Sauce Commercial
Now, people, we don’t much like the show Lost, and scratch our heads and make the excuse that we have to leave to continue marinating a skirt steak or something whenever someone tries to expound on the virtues of the show to us. But today, we realize that you are probably feeling a little dazed, a little angry — like a woman who has just learned that her husband has a whole second family with an albino pygmy wife in Cincinnati or something. But we digress.
We’ve always kind of felt that JJ Abrams’ goal was just to mess with as many people’s heads as possible. That there were no “answers” to be had in his psuedo-mystic-spiritual-sci-fi-adventure mindfuck. And whether the whole thing was all just one character’s dream or all of the characters were dead and in purgatory or if Abrams just wanted to be super-cute and claim it’s not purgatory because that would be Judeo-Christian mythology and the show’s great spiritualism is something else so they were in a purgatory-like place, but not “Pugatory,” well, reader, we just don’t care.
But there is one thing we do care about. Pork. And barbecuing it. Wait, that is two things.
Regardless, as much as we would never allow Kraft barbecue sauce within a distance roughly outlined by a legal restraining order of any meat we had supervision over preparing, we were tickled by Target’s Lost-themed ad of a boar running through the jungle on the island advertising said sauce. And we can’t help but concur with the commenter on New York’s Vulture who said, “At least the ads had closure.”
