CRAZY THOUGHTS FROM TV ADS

I am watching too much television, this I admit. One thing you can't escape from the TV is the advertisements, so it wouldn't be surprising if I were able to develop these crazy thoughts. Or should I say, makers of these ads never really considered these ideas.

Let's start with that coffee mate ad. Eric Compton said that it is nice to wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee, then there is a girl talking about Coffee Mate being cheaper. Eric answered, "Ows! Talaga?" and the girl was surprised that he knows how to speak Tagalog.

Question. Who was that girl?

She couldn't be Eric secretary, governess, or girl friend. Because if she was one of the three (or anybody close to him), she would definitely know that Eric speaks Tagalog. So, if she is not someone close to Eric, what is she doing at Eric's house early in the morning?

I could only deduce one conclusion, she is a girl Eric pick up the night before. It’s a one-night stand. They were so hot that they went to bed fast without much talking, then they were exhausted, slept and wake up together in the morning. It was only in the morning where she know that this tisoy knows how to speak Tagalog.

Next advertisement.

Have you seen that Block and White ad where a girl driving a car drop by at a drive thru counter where she ordered coffee? At first the guy in the counter was attracted to her but was suddenly turn-off by her dark elbow.

Question. Is the guy straight?

This is what I know, a straight guy wouldn't really bother if you have a dark elbow. That wouldn't bother much for them. But for a gay guy, it is something.

Here's another one.

In the Lifebouy commercial, a group of Red Cross volunteers and members the Philippine Hospital Association and the Philippine Public Health Association were rushing (with their ambulances) to the house of Junior when it was time for him to take a bath.

Question. What is wrong with Junior that he needs all that attention from health experts?

I bet he haven't taken a bath for so long and he is already having a terrible smell, so terrible that he already needs the assistance of these experts.

Yeah, yeah, I've watched too much television already.
