Creamy goodness

Sometimes I wish I had a laptop in front of me while I watch TV so I could just do a running blogmentary on the stupidity of advertising. Case in point, some "skin rejuvenation cream" ad running last night uses every euphemism possible - and some not possible - for "wrinkle". Like laughter lines. Unless you laugh with your hands, they ain't all laughter lines, lady. And "expression lines" was one I hadn't even heard. God forbid you use the word wrinkle, lest someone think they're actually aging...but wait! You get to the end of the commercial, and they show the packaging...the name of the product is "De-crease Wrinkle Cream". The word wrinkle is in the name of the product. And I'm sorry, but a crease is something on a pair of pants, or an origami crane, not really an image you want to give in a makeup ad. So to recap, the commercial is basically, euphemism, euphemism, euphemism, euphemism ... DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SKIN, YOU SADDLE-BAG-FACED SHAR-PEI.

Well I do have a laptop and it as sitting in front of me while I watched TV last night when I saw a commercial for the new Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper that includes the "Mahnahmahna" song. First "Committed" and now this commerical. It's everywhere.
