The news this evening talked about General John Allen is not expected to become the NATO Supreme Commander due to his inappropriate emails with a Florida socialite. And that made me think: "Hey, NATO Supreme Commader? That sounds like NACHO Supreme Commander." So maybe Taco Bell could create a character called the NACHO Supreme Commander for their ads (in the spirit of the old McDonald's advertising characters, like Mayor McCheese, et. al.), and he could give motivational speeches about how great nachos are, and order everyone to eat Taco Bell's Nachos Supreme. And this general being a supreme commander giving orders would be a perfect metaphor for fast food, because customers also order food at restaurants, right? (Plus, fast food is potentially dangerous to your health, just like fighting in a war is.)
So these ads could have the NACHO Supreme Commander getting the troops ready to transport a large shipment of Nachos Supreme to Taco Bell. So he could give them a motivational speech about how these nachos must arrive intact and on time, because the country badly needs the security provided by the yummy goodness of Nachos Supreme, etc. And then the NACHO Supreme Commander could arrive at a Taco Bell, march up to the counter, and order a Nachos Supreme, saying: "Nachos Supreme: that's an order!" And the Taco Bell employee would say: "Yes, Sir!" and serve him. And the commander could say to his troops: "Freedom isn't free, but its rewards are plentiful."
Oh, but then a scandal could get him fired as NACHO Supreme Commander. It appears that he has been carrying on an inappropriate relationship with Marie Callander and eating her food in a direct conflict of interest with NACHO Supreme Command.
Here is the Taco Bell Nachos Supreme:

(I was thinking that maybe this NACHO Supreme Commander could have a military hat that's shaped like a big nacho chip, and perhaps he could have a chest full of medals on his uniform that looks like ingredients from the Nachos Supreme.)
And here's the news story, if you're interested. But be advised that there are no nachos, supreme or otherwise, in this story:
