The Most Ridiculous Commercial on TV

Commercials, let's face it, are part of our everday lives. So much so, that I'm sure you can think of at least one phrase you use that has come from a commercial ad (cause after all, this is part of the way the make their money - through repition and brainwashing!!)



Just a few days ago, I told someone I was 'taking a Benylin day'.

How many times have you smacked your head and said 'I could have had a V8' or 'I can't believe it's not butter!!'...j-e-l-l-o!!! I'm sure a few come to mind.



Ranking right up there is the 'good morning, good morning, we talked the whole night through, good morning, good morning to you'...which led me to believe that every curler on the planet couldn't 'get it up' for all the viagra ads played during the Brier! Gene Kelly and Judy Garland are, no doubt, rolling in their graves over that one - out of sheer laughter.



The other evening, during late nite TV (thank heavens!) this commercial comes on the tube. And at first I'm thinking, am I on the Comedy channel? Seriously, I'm waiting for someone to say 'LIVE from New York - it's Saturday Nite!!!!'.... but it was Monday, so that couldn't be it.



I would love to see the 'disclaimer' on this ad - I couldn't find one on their website, so that just goes to show you, because with other ads they extol the virtue of their product on one hand, and then tell you all the terrible things that 'might' occur if you actually take their product.



This particularly bad advertisement is actually willing to send you, free except for the cost of postage, a one week's supply of their product to test. 'Now if we didn't believe in our product, could we do this????'



Here's the link. Judge for yourself. Maybe it should be on 'Ripley's Believe it or Not'....not.

I missed this post. Perhaps it hit the 'net while I was in Egypt. Connor just came running into my office screaming, "MOM!!! Auntie posted something sick on her blog about making a penis bigger!"

Oh boy.
