No – not you my friends. Never you. Television commercials. That’s it. Have you noticed the lies that spew out of that box? I’m here to tell you it’s true. Lies – Lies – Lies. Products that do this. Clothes that make you feel that. Shaking my head. Lies. Whatever happened to truth in advertising? I bet you are asking yourself why I’m so pigcited over something that you already knew. I’ll tell you why in one word – Mom.
You see, mom sweet mom, saw a certain commercial on television. After watching it, she got this ‘look’ in her eyes. I’ve seen that look my friends. It means trouble. And in this case it was trouble with a capital T. The next day, she came home with a bag in her hand. Took out the product, looked at daddy and tried the product. After opening her eyes, she looked at daddy again. I didn’t get it. He was still the same. Mom on the other hoof, lost it, snorted and went into the kitchen. You want to know what commercial it was don’t you? Okay, I’ll show it to you. But let me tell you straight up. It doesn’t work. Snorts with piggy laughter.
