Am I the only one who
is really sick of the latest series of no smoking commercials? I stopped smoking 15 years ago, but those
damn commercials make me want to smoke a pack-a-day just to kill the pain. The message is certainly compelling, but must
we air the commercials on every channel 50 times a day? I’ll admit initially it was fun to imitate
the ads, but even the joy has gone out of that.
That is when you know you’ve hit rock bottom.
Another commercial
that really chaps my ass is the Lipton Honey and Tea ad featuring Lady
Antebellum. I mean really…REALLY? It is just all-around stupid, but I think
what really bothers me is not when Hillary Scott throws down packets of the tea
to random people having a picnic or even the impromptu concert on the top of a
table…no, what really bothers me is that you hear drums, yet there is nobody
playing the drums. WTF, LIPTON?! DO YOU
THINK WE ARE STUPID? The entire commercial might have been believable if a
drummer had actually set up their drum set in the hot sun prior to the free
picnic table performance. Jeez. The only
thing this commercial makes me want to do is add vodka to the Lipton Honey and
Tea packets and drink myself into a rabid stupor. The only way this ad could be less stupid is
if Terrie from the No Smoking commercial climbed up on the table and sang with
Lady Antebellum.
