As I find myself in frantic catch-up mode, one of the tasks confronting me is about 40 pages of Wall Street analysis on Las Vegas Sands‘ third quarter. (Hint: It was extremely good.) In honor of Sheldon Adelson, here’s the ad Sands Bethlehem rolled out to announce the debut of its table games. As you can see, it’s hard to come up with a casino TV commercial that doesn’t look like 889,786 others — although having Emeril Lagasse lamely CGI’d into the spot is a nice metaphor for the meaningfulness of his involvement with the restaurants that bear his name. If he spreads himself just a bit thinner, Lagasse could seize Wolfgang Puck‘s throne as the Ronald McDonald of fine dining.

Besides his restaurants Wolfgang Puck also sells canned soup. It is called “All Natural Wolfgang Puck Hearty Soup”. I have seen this can of soup in a cabinet where I work and it has been probably been there at least two years.
I buy the soup when it’s on sale and I have a coupon. Consumer Reports reviewed canned soups, and Puck’s didn’t rate too highly.
Mr. Puck has a whole line of foods and a website describing them:

As for the commercials, one way to differentiate them from the usual run would be to put some ugly people, like the rest of us, into the shots.
