Body Odor

It’s bad enough that we have the husky woman dancing as she sings about how she’s controlling her diabetes…

…whenever the commercial begins I yell, “Ahhh shit,” and Kathy laughs.

Seriously, who sings and dances because their diabetes meds are working?

Those aren’t the worst commercials though.

We also have a series of commercials that start with:

“More than my armpits stink.”

And then the moderately attractive woman goes into great detail of what stinks and why.

“From my pits to my…” she says, with her voice fading.

I finish the sentence for her with a bunch of colorful words.

Why?

Do we truly need commercials to tell us what stinks on someone?

And the toilet paper commercials????

The ones that start with “everyone poops.”

We need that?

Sometimes I’m eating dinner and we get blasted with the dancing husky chick and then the stinky broads, one after another.

What happened to the horses? Or the dancing bears to sell products?

I suppose that the advertising execs are sitting around saying:

“Why not be direct with all of this? We’ll discuss exactly what stinks and why.”

Throw in the political ads and the lawyers begging for business and network television is unwatchable as the show goes to commercial.

Ah geez, the dancing diabetic came on as I’m writing this.

Bah!
