[Ducati] A Ducati appears in current Wendy's commercial in the United States

[Ben Blout]

Hi all,

Have any of you living in the United States noticed there is a Ducati in
a current Wendy's Commercial?  The ad is for a new sandwich, the
"Frescata Italiana".  (For those of you in countries without Wendy's
restaurants (wendys.com), it is a fast food chain that competes with
McDonald's.)

In the ad a flying picnic blanket pulls up to a traffic light next to a
familiar looking motorcycle.  Someone who knows the details of Ducati styling
better than I has guessed it is a 999r.  All decals/graphics/writing on
the motorcycle has been eliminated in the commercial.

You can see a screenshot of the Ducati at:

If you want to see the commercial yourself, and live in the United
States, I would suggest recording "Deal or No Deal", the ad appeared at
least twice during that show last week.
