| 24 and Lowe's commercials |
[Apr. 11th, 2007|05:50 am] |
So I think it is safe to safe to say that with the radical character concept shifts that are occurring, 24 is done for the year. They reach this point earlier in some years than in others, but for this year, alas, I am done.
Also, Lowe's ads. What the Fuck? The basic ad setup is similar to the awful SNL sketch in which one neighbor always feels compelled to one-up the person they are talking to. Then the ad ends with the tagline "Everything you need to have the best backyard in town." What the unholy hell is the ad agency thinking? "Lowes: Where dickheads shop!" is a more concise ad-statement. And the thing is I _AM_ Lowe's preferred customer. I have lots of disposable income and a house and a wife that likes me spending money there instead of at Gamestop. So for them to randomly offend me with an ad, though admittedly on 24 which the much more repugnant world-view of which I am getting beaten over the head with, is dubious.
So to conclude. Lowe's used to be in my "ignore category" and have managed to achieve active negativity, and 24 is just plain awful now. |
