Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s can get away with almost anything. It's crazy. three quarters of what they sell isn't health food. But it doesn't matter. It sells. They'll represent anything as health food. “Nature’s Valley Deep Fried Pork Rinds.” Only they won’t call them pork rinds. "Organic Triple Sauteed Protein Crisps. With 4 milligrams of EFAs."

Trader Joe's is like that South African character from Lethal Weapon II. The one with diplomatic immunity. He just killed people left and right, and then whenever Mel Gibson and Danny Glover wanted to arrest him, he flashed a card and said, “Diplomatic immunity.” And they backed off.

From now on, Lethal Weapon II is the official film of Trader Joe's. That South African guy is their mascot. They have immunity. They can get away with anything. “Heath food store immunity. It’s not deep fried. It’s triple sauteed.”

Damn South Africans. I mean, damn Trader Joe's.
