my irrational disdain for "Flo"- the hilarious, relatable, personable, sexy, quirky, approachable and ohmigoditotallywannabuyinsurance cross-generational brain-skat rubbed out by the marketing goons at Progressive insurance - has only gotten worse since we've been objected to her "flirting" with the motorcycle guy at every effing commerical break. are we supposed to feel such an interest in this trusty gal of ours by now that we think this shit is cute?!
i wouldn't even know except that i've been watching quite a bit of live tv these days on account of the playoffs and cant fast-forward. if someone would've told me two weeks ago that another piece of television marketing was being molested through approval, i would've spit. well, i'll be damned. thanks blackberry. you know, there's a real chance i might not have bought a blackberry the other day had i had to watch the break-dancing only version of this commercial a dozen times a day:
practice and acceptance kicks in around :30
way to go! you wanted tigh-eet moves like yo crew - i saw the determination on your face as you walked away. you never gave up in front of the mirror and brawt-it and now i want a smart phone.
on the flip side, some spots are just genius, especially the one bald baby.
or the one baby's face when he sings "- fly again"
or any of these
and of course the only radio commercial series worth listening to

to say she (flo) bugs is possibly one of the great understatements in history - up there with stalin wasnt a particularly swell guy.
ReplyDeleteI've had to remove all throwable objects from my house as a precautionary move to preserve my TVs. thank god for dvrs.
sadly, it is only one in an increasingly lengthy string of very bad ...very very bad ads the slackers on madison avenue have been polluting our media with. and with that increasingly long list of offending ads, grows my increasingly long list of boycotts - before you know it, i'll be living on a commune far away from a vile and intrusive media-filled world.
but we'll not boycott GE
