Wendy must be stopped. The newest commercial has gone past annoying to filling me with rage.

A commercial from my youth popped into my head. It was for a candy bar. It showed two women who worked in a doll factory, they both had the job of very quickly painting on a pair of thin eyebrows on each doll. One woman had the candy bar, and she was happy and deftly drawing on the eyebrows. (I think she might have had the job in real life, because it would take practice to draw symmetrical brows on dolls so quickly; that was actually kind of cool to see).
Anyway, the other woman didn't have the candy bar, and she was just mashing her paint brush into the dolls faces, above the dolls' mouths. Giving the doll a mustache, like Groucho Marx's. Or, like, dare I say it, Hitler? The final shot was a pissed off little girl holding a doll with a mustache and no eyebrows.
It was a cute ad, but I wonder if it got pulled? I know that today you could do the ad, but the mustache could not possibly resemble Hitler's. Otherwise, it is actually a lot better than a bunch of ads today, I think. (I just saw the stupid domestic violence Hagen Daz Italian ice cream ad.)
So, one from the vaults.

"I'm living the life of dreams, I'm living the life of dreams, dreams dreams dreams dreams..." Is Apple trying to drive me completely off my rocker or what? So tired of breathy whining girl singers.
Oh, and another one is that cat food commercial "I must confesssss when I wear this dresssssssss...."

I hate Apple's latest ideas of running commercials into the ground before releasing another one...first "Gigantic" then "Chicken Fat" and now "Life of Dreams". F'you Apple.

I don't understand why a kangaroo is talking about Dish. I just got used to the kangaroo talking about hair products. Maybe up your mind, animated marsupial!

I don't understand why a kangaroo is talking about Dish. Their DVR (that's the subject of litigation) is called The Hopper. The kangaroo must have a good agent, getting him the job over frogs and rabbits.

I hope the Swiffer commercial with the woman yelling "Ba-BAM!" doesn't last long.

I was watching television this morning when one of those drug commercials came on. What struck me as weird was one line about how since there were no dietary restrictions a person could eat healthy food. Which led to me imagining said patient being told by a doctor, "well, there are dietary restrictions with this pill, so you could only eat pork rinds and drink soda from now on." My mind works oddly sometimes.

There is one that specifically calls out grapefruit. Why grapefruit? Is other citrus okay? What if I get a rogue lemon?
