The Wonders of Modern Marketing

Posted Jun 05 2009 5:06pm

  I was watching the TBS channel last night and a commercial came on advertising an American Pharmacy; I believe it was called something like "Save-on".

  This couple walks into their kitchen carrying grocery bags. Buddy goes and opens the fridge door (me man...want food) and sees this ginormous slice of chocolate cake on the shelf. I am talking huge, Bigfoot could wear this sucker as a shoe (chocolate-toe-jam notwithstanding)!

  Anyway, hubby pulls this grossly overproportioned slice of cake out, big doofy grin on his face, ready to totally mooch out. Wifey sees the cake and says:

  "Did you forget - you're a DIABETIC!!"

  I cracked up. I threw popcorn at the screen (well I would've if I'd had popcorn). I yelled - in between snorts of laughter - "Riiiiiiiiight, he forgot he has Diabetes...I bet he also forgot to wipe his @$$ this morning!"

  The rest of the commercial was equally comically unbelievable; wifey does an impression of Mary Poppins disguised as Aunt Jemima and starts whipping display stands and Pharmacists out of paper bags. The farce ends with hubby having his cake taken away while the Pharmacist hands him an apple.

  And these kooks actually get paid for this.....
