330- TV COMMERCIALS...A squire SOCIAL COMMENTARY!....

Curiosity, by the way, DID benefit the cat!

A) That irritating GEICO gecko: some claim that a real little gecko could never talk, that the tiny critters, in real life, only chrips to other geckos. How in the freaking world can a car company build a convertible that tiny? How could a gecko get a driver's license for street use? At least that commercial is better than the current one with that wad of money and two eyes starring at you...and not speaking. The GEICO gecko does speak, though. By the way, what accent does that little green critter have?...British?...Australian?...Icelandic? Or who cares?
B) Cialis now for daily use? Is this the ad with the catchy song? NO...that one is for Viagra with a "viva" tune. What's next from this company? Vitalis?
C) Travelers Insurance, with the British guy who floats about with that huge RED umbrella? This guy loves it...so creative. Hearing it in the background, as I work on WORD, I will race to see it...over and over.
D) Those radio and TV ads for Bud Light! "Real men of genius!" have 24 of them so far. "Real American Heroes!" have 27. I've enjoyed these radio spots for YEARS, because they so cleverly poke fun at males who "think" they are so cool. As a matter of fact, a letter was written to August Busch IV in St. Louis earlier this summer complimenting their advertising staff for such refreshing humor.
Google to "My Bud Light Commercial Page". You'll find the two lists and can clic to hear any or all of them. Examples: "Real Men of Genius" has "Mr. Fancy Coffee Shop Coffee Pourer"..."Mr. Supermarket Free Sample Guy"..."Mr. Boombox Carrying Rollerskater".
"Real American Heroes": "Mr. Bowling Shoe Giver Outer"..."Mr. Inspirational Poster Maker"..."Mr. Giant Foam Finger Maker"....to name a few hilarious ones!
E) KASHI!..."7 whole grains on a mission..." Excellent TV commercial, for a change.
