What's With Today's Commercials?

[Grange]

I was watching TV this evening and in one commercial break I see an advertisement from Wellbutrin, where a hot girl says "I'm glad there's a low risk of sexual side effects". Now I know she means she's glad that the risk is low, but that's not the way is sounds.

After that commercial there's a commercial by Target where a bunch of kids wearing backpacks are dancing to the music of Sir-Mix-a-lots "I like big butts" only the word butt is replaced with back or backpack.

So between women liking drugs with sexual side effects and little kids dancing to a song about a guy who want to fuck women with big asses, what other strange ways are we going to market products. Why don't we create a dance about someone who has to take a shit. Oh wait? Well how about a threesome in an elevator. Damn that's taken too.

The skit on Saturday Night Live when Michael Jordon, was marketing feminine douche or XXX porn isn't so far off I guess.

So were you expecting an intellectual discussion of the merits of each product in a medium where there is currently a program where people eat disgusting things in the hopes of winning $25,000. I think you need to remember the axiom, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public."
