A wedding should reflect the personality of the couple, and in this case, I would say Paul and Caragh Brooks are a cheesy, crunchy and spicy good time! In addition to not sweating the insane details that go into weddings, and saving a lot of money, as a result of their decision to wed in the hallowed halls of Taco Bell, their guests get to graze on Bacon and Cheddar Gordita Crunches and cheesy burritos! Awesome.

When it comes to the World Series, it seems everyone is rooting for a different team, but there's one thing that all of America can get behind: free tacos.

Mexican fast food chain Taco Bell's "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" campaign is back again this year. The promotion, which the fast food chain first launched last year, gives out free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Tacos to all customers if and when a player from any team during any game captures the first stolen base of the 2008 World Series.

There's only one way to find out if this year's World Series will crown a new Taco Bell hero. Will you be tuning in and rooting for your free taco?

Yesterday, Burger King announced that all of its restaurants in the US and Canada have made the switch to cooking with trans fat free oils. The second most popular fast food chain also announced that all of its menu items, including baked goods, will contain zero grams of trans fat by Nov. 1 — earlier than the company anticipated.

According to a statement issued by Burger King, customers who tried the new trans fat free foods were either unable to tell a difference in the taste of menu items or felt that the products tasted even better. The hamburger chain attributes this to its two proprietary blends of three oils.

The company has fallen under criticism for taking so long to cut out trans fat oils: Both KFC and Taco Bell switched in 2007, and Wendy's a year before that. Number one fast food chain McDonald's is now one of the last to make the complete switch, promising a menu free of trans fats by the end of the year.

If I were in a public place and everyone around me froze at the same time — midslurp, midbite, midstride —I'd have a fleeting second of panic, especially if the frozen peeps were this good at holding their own. I didn't see a blink out of one of them! I did notice that the dude in green is shown frozen in multiple poses, so I think Taco Bell allowed this to happen (on opening day, no less!) over and over again. Hmm. Sounds like a viral marketing ploy to me. But a fun one, no less.

Thanks, College Humor!
