Is it just me?
This week is going to be ultra-crazy. Way too much stuff going on, both at work and at home. So I leave this for you to ponder:
Both the Wife and I have issues with two ad campaigns on TV. Well, more than just two, but these annoy us the most (the first more her, the second more me).
Have you seen those Boniva commercials? Sally Field gets on the TV and says how much trouble it is for her friend to remember to take one pill once a week. What is her solution? Take one pill once a month! That's so much easier, right? But, if I can't remember to bother to take a pill once a week, then how the hell will I remember to take it once a month? And why is it so hard to take a pill once a week? I mean, I take medication for cholesterol daily. I can manage that. Shit, once a week would be sweet. And how about those people that have to take multiple pills every day on different schedules? This commercial smacks of rich person disease. It's almost insulting.
The second one is those Cialis ads. Ok, forget boner pills in and of itself for a second. I get the whole thing where you and the lady are about to get it on and the grandkids show up. Sure, you need to wait until later. (Of course, the commercial would be much funnier if the grandkids showed up while they're in the middle of getting in on. Imagine grandma coming downstairs with her hair all messed up and her skirt on backwards.) Anyway, the thing that annoys me is at the end. The couple always goes off somewhere the won't be interrupted and end up in seperate bathtubs conveniently located in the middle of nowhere. What the hell is the deal with that? I never get it. First of all, who would leave a pair of footed bathtubs out in the open like that? Then what person in their right mind would get nekkid and actually use it? Not to mention, if the whole point of the medication is to get it up, what the hell is so romantic about sitting in seperate bathtubs? Wouldn't one big bathtub for two make much more sense? And would you want to get it on in a bathtub out in the open like that?
As I said, is it just me? Feel free to chime in.
