That Manny & Olga's Ad

Has anyone else in the DC area who's seen a "Manny & Olga's Pizza" ad (yes, there's a pizza place that sounds like it could be a sandwich shop in Little Havana) on TV agree that it's quite possibly the worst local ad ever? Anyone? If you haven't seen it, here's the jingle (I'm doing this from memory, so I'm probably a bit off but still keeping with the spirit), sung as a duet in a Dave Matthews-like tepid falsetto:

Manny & Olga's Pizza
Pizza, subs, wings and more
Manny & Olga's Pizza
We deliver
Veeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry late.

The "very" is so castrato it can crack glass. As a point of reference note that it's worse than those Senate Auto Insurance "kiss my bumper" ads and even worse still than those used-car ads featuring LaVar Arrington, Champ Bailey (who left town last year), Carmelo Anthony and others.
