Ditech commercials are quite annnoying, and depict situations that are too unrealistic to happen in real life, but not bizzare enough to be funny.
"Our rates are very competitive ... I'll just open this window to let in some light. AAARGH!" Our protagonist, the slimy mortgage broker, sees a huge Ditech billboard looming outside the window, apparently a suprise because he never opens the shade.
The happy, perky couple travelling around the country in their RV to spread the good news about Prilosec OTC can be irritating as well.. Unrealistic enough to make you think "Dear lord ...", but not so really funny. Just ... oh, maybe postmodern. They're trying to be funny, but they aren't, yet the commercial seems funny in an irritating sort of way because it isn't, yet it tries so hard. Yeah, Prilosec OTC ... postmodern.
What is it with fast food commercials and African-Americans, anyhow? Do people in fast food restaurants that are staffed and patronized entirely by blacks always order in rap, or break out into dance, anywhere? Do to-go customers always take their bags of superzied whatever to basketball courts, where they shoot hoops with their buddies? Who makes up these ads ... suburban white guys? Patronizing. Usually, when I go to a fast food restaurant in the inner city, the employees seem sullen and sad, as do most of the customers.
Just a rant. Back to work.
