Meme and an observation
Jan. 13th, 2007 08:59 am( Meme survey thing )
I just saw a commercial for that Axe men’s body spray. It showed hordes of women in bikinis coming from all directions, in a stampede: from the ocean, over rocks, through the sand. All of them had fierce competitive expressions on their faces as they ran, and the camera cut to a young, good looking man standing on the beach with the Axe body spray, turning in circles, while spraying a constant stream of the stuff, his expression blissful. Drawing back, you can see that all of those women are coming to get him. The slogan comes onto the screen: “Spray more, get more.”
Now, we all know that this is a ridiculous scene, and kind of amusing in an absurd way. But don’t you think that they would sell a lot more product by changing out the good-looking man for a plain, or even overweight one? There are a lot more of them in the world than the male model type, who hardly need some body spray to attract hordes of women. Just sayin’.
Other than that, things are all right on the homefront. LJ is still being a pain in the butt, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, because (hopefully) I will be getting DSL in my new laptop in about a week. Keep your fingers crossed, because we are trying the self-installation route. Then comes the fun of transferring everything over to the new computer for the old.
I won't be around too much tomorrow, as it is my turn to host family dinner, and the boys have a birthday party to attend. Busy day! Now I have to decide what I'm going to make. I am thinking about chicken burritos...that's easy, right?
Link of the day I'm not sure if I've posted this one before. Watch the whole thing, cause it's fun! er...warnings for video game violence. http://amd.co.at:8083/pong.swf
