Per,
 
I agree with you regarding the motivation and message in using a Didgeridoo for the Wendy's commercial, it doesn't make any sense. 
 
"I gotta say, that Wendy's commercial is one of the dumbest I have seen in a long time....makes no sense whatsoever, to me at least......I must be outta the "commercial" loop;-)." 
I saw this ad nearly a month ago and was concerned that this fast-food Corporation would exploit this iconic Aboriginal instrument as a marketing ploy. Not only does it make absolutely no sense but I feel that the Didgeridoo is once again being misused for dishonerable gain. Are the Indigenous Australians getting any free Frosties out of this deal? Has anyone heard reactions from the Aboriginal Community on this abuse? (I'm not tryin' to be a bring-down, I am just feelin extra-sensitive regarding Indigenous issues these days.)
