This is going to be
a bit ranty, but its my blog and I can write whatever I choose. I choose
commercials, specifically the ones that seem to be annoying me today.
Have y'all see the
Target commercial for the baby wipes, diapers, etc? The woman is dressed all in
white, has a cowgirl outfit on, her hair is braided and there are three babies.
Seriously? Who came up with this ad? I do not know a single mom, let alone one
with triplets, that is wearing white when she's changing diapers. And I sure as
hell don't know any moms of triplets that have time to get all gussied up in
cowgirl wear to "wrangle" up their kids. Why can't they show a
harried mom? You know the one I'm talking about. She's got sweats on or PJ's,
her hair is a mess, there's an unidentifiable stain of yellow on her shirt and
her eyes are bloodshot. That's the kind of mom I want to see on commercials.
The real ones. Not some advertising idiot's idea of what the mother of his kids
should look like. Because if she's got time to look that put together with
triplets, she has help. Target wants to sell their "every day line",
fine. Sell it with every day people.
What about this Benz
ad? The one that hasn't even been on yet and it's already sparked controversy.
Personally, seeing a model walk around a bunch of guys washing a car isn't
going to inspire me to purchase a Benz. But then again, lack of cash flow limits
what kind of car I can buy.
The one that really
pissed me off a few weeks ago was for a hearing center here in the Denver area.
It played the sound those of us with tinnitus hear all the time. Hearing this
noise come out of my TV made me drop the coffee cup in my hand and cover my ears.
It caused a migraine almost instantly. I'm sure I'm not the only tinnitus
sufferer that had this reaction. The local TV news station played this
commercial 3 times in 45 minutes. I finally stopped watching their channel when
I realized it wasn't going to stop. I even wrote the clinic on their FB page.
They deleted my comment and never responded in any way or form to me. I wrote
to the TV station also, no response. Guess what channel I don't watch anymore?
Lastly, it's not the
ad or the company that gets me with this one. It's the song that I then find
myself singing the rest of the day. Every time I see that guy on the wave board
I can't help but sing along. I like Flo Rida. I wish I could go on a cruise.
Nicely played Royal Caribbean!
Rant over… and I bet
you're singing "Good Feeling" now. I know I am… AGAIN! LOL
