Your King loves good and funny radio and television commercials. The latest string of commercials for Rochesterhelpwanted.com are a perfect example of great commercials. The one with the Romanian baby is priceless and the one with then 'stinky' boss with the bulbous nose is not far behind. What really drives me nuts are the stupid commercials. The current commercial for a product called Hydroxytone is a prime example. It make all sorts of claims as to how good it is, so good if fact it was even included in gift bags at some stupid Hollywood function. To claim THAT as a reason to buy the product is down right moronic. If you give a group enough FREE samples of anything to put into 'gift bags' they will. I could put dog turds in a nice little box, put a nice fragrance on it and wrap it and put a cute bow on it so it looks downright pretty and they would be more than happy to put them into gift bags as long as they were free.
Commercials are meant to get people to buy their product. A stupid commercial does the exact opposite as it drives me away from their product no matter how good it is. When MCI was in business I hated their commercials so much I vowed never to get their product. Since they only exist in another form today it looks like a few other people thought the same way I did. I love the new commercial with Tiger Woods, with a big smile on his puss, as he tries to use one of the big tournament checks to buy something and the cashier says "we only take little checks". The Direct TV commercial with William Shatner saying 'again with the Klingons' was also another great commercial. Being that I already have Direct TV it did not matter but it was funny none the less.
If someone could come out with a hilarious commercial for bat vomit they could probably sell that too but stupid commercials, even if it is for a great product just do not work. We are force fed enough ads during an average TV show and they should have a certain level of intelligence about them. Right now you get 16 minutes of ads during an hour show, 40 years ago it was only 9 minutes. If you are going to give us more crappola at least make it entertaining.
So much for tonight's blog of moronica. This is King Dinglefritz wishing you a good evening.
