I don’t watch much commercial, free-to-air TV these days—it just really doesn’t interest me anymore—so I’m slightly out of the loop on some matters.

Imagine my surprise, then, when last night I witnessed an ad for Red Rooster fish and chips.

What the hell?

Firstly, isn’t the whole point of the fish-and-chip experience the unique blend of standardised menu items and Russian Roulette-style quality, depending on the particular shop?

But beyond that, if you’re really dying for a bit of greasy, cheap cullinary action, why support a Westpac-owned chain over a local, family-owned shop?

You want fish and chips? Support your local wogs, damnit!
