I CAN’T BELIEVE I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING!

I don’t think I get it any more. I watch these commercials on the TV and I don’t understand any of them. I suspect the sponsors don’t really care either, as long as you become distracted, confused and have to turn the volume down as it kicks into high gear, while persuading you that you should buy what the logo or voice over says they are.

One commercial for Suzuki has a guy in a parachute jump off a cliff and land into the Grand Canyon just to drive off to work in his Suzuki SUV! I have a couple of questions about that one.

1. Why does he park way down there?

2. Why did he buy a house at the edge of the Grand Canyon, I mean you can’t raise a kid there?

3. HOW THE HELL DOES HE GET BACK TO THE HOUSE???

Another favorite of mine is the perfume for women. I can understand the one where everything is black and white, but the perfume bottle is in color. But why is the girl who supposedly is wearing it sitting like she is on the toilet, waiting for nature to take its course?

How about the ones for the Viagra like products, the guy is in his thirties, and can’t perform! Get another wife or girlfriend or see a doctor pal, you got issues either in your love life or your health. If you need a jump-start, get a set of jumper cables, hook up and turn on the ignition baby that should do it.

Now the very worst offender of communications is the ads for medications that show people, lots of them, standing around atop a mountain, usually multi race older people who are all facing the same way. You have no idea what the hell they are selling, and the voice over says; “Ask your doctor about GERBERTOL, the orange pill.”

Like they used to say: “Where’s the beef?”
