What The Bucket??!?!!
It is high time I pointed my ruby encrusted pointing finger at commercial shows. I have some gripes. No...I have some grapes...no...I was right-e-o the first time...I have some gripes.
Gripe # 1)
The same actress is used in 3 commercials. Pedialite drink for young children, some kind of genital herpes medicine commercial, and K-Y warming personal lubricant. I think it's just wrong, and you all know what I say about things that are wrong, don't you..."BRING ME MY SAMICH"
Gripe # 2)
The Kool-AId commercial with the big Pitcher Guy. Why does he wear shorts. He didn't in the seventies, when I wached him, but now he wears shorts. My biggest problem with this is, there was probably several meetings with people flying all over the country to discuss this issue. The transcript probably looks somthin like this:
Suit 1: I think we need to put some pants on the Kool-Aid pitcher mascot.
Suit 2: Why, he doesn't have genitals.
Suit 1: Yeah, but in these times, even not having genitals can be a form of having genitals.
Suit 3: What are you talking about!?
Suit 1: I'm just sayin, there is a fetish for EVERYTHING now. I'm sure some sick pervert out there has a fetish for cartoon drink pitchers who show off their non-genitals. There is even a website for it...Johnson! Give me your laptop!
Johnson: Righty-O
Suit 1: See...www.cartoonmascotnongenitalglasspi
Suit 2: Wow, they even have shots of the sunny-d sun in there.
Suit 3: That is obviously photoshoped.
Suit 2: Well, if there is a fetish for that, what if there is a fetish for cartoon mascot glass pitchers who wear pants. I personally think that is even sexier. Ya know, like they are covering somthing up.
Suit 1: Yeah, Like it leaves more to the imagination...that is sexy.
Suit 3: The only way to know for sure, is to have a focus group.
Suit 1: OK, we can have a focus group, but get me some pictures of Tony the Tiger with and without pants, and we'll see if it's just glass pitchers, of cartoon animals also. Johnson, get on that.
Suit 2: We should probably break for lunch...How bout' Applebees.
Suit 1: Yeah, that's fine...Johnson, get me a cob salad and a cheeseburger with swiss.
Suit 2: I'm gonna have the bbq chicken sandwich with fries. Can you find out what kind of soup they have, and if it's chicken noodle or ministroni, get me a small.
Suit 3: Nothing for me, I have a sandwich today.
Suit 1: Nothing? You sure?
Suit 3: Nothing, thanks though.
Suit 1: Johnson, get something for yourself also.
Johnson: Thank you sir.
Suit 2 (Quietly to suit 1): He's a good kid.
Suit 1: Yeah, he's much better than that moron they gave me last month.
and so on and so on
Gripe #3)
Do women talk about their periods in real life as they do on commercials, if so, that's fine, but if they don't, I just feel like we're being mis-led.
