A woman who’s first in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles approaches an open service window. The DMV representative, though, tells her that he’s going to make her wait “because it gives me a sense of power.” She acquiesces, explaining that she will gladly wait because “I have no self-esteem.”
The DMV employee then turns his attention to a fellow worker who’s eating a Healthy Choice steamed lunch entree. Their exchange exhibits ignorance on the part of the original DMV gent, who quips that he hoped to hide his stupidity be growing an intellectual-like beard. But all’s well that ends well as he’s informed that the Healthy Choice chicken dish takes just four minutes to prepare.
He in turn informs the woman and others standing in line that while it just takes four minutes, he will be on break for an hour.
A parting super and voiceover relates the Healthy Choice Steamed Lunches’ slogan: “An honest-to-goodness lunch that’s maybe too honest.”

The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.
"This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."
The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."
And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.
Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.
Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.
Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."
It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
