What’s the most unrealistic commercial you’ve seen lately? For me, it’s a commercial for fast acting tooth whitening strips. The commercial has a group of ladies taking a girls trip to Las Vegas. Apparently the ride to Vegas is only about two hours. Now the product may or may not work in two hours, that [...]

Did you ever see that Huggies Jeans diapers commercial? I wasn’t looking at the television the first time I heard it. I heard dramatic techy sort of music and then the words. The first sentence made me turn around to watch. The commercial features a little boy walking. His wardrobe is simple, he’s wearing a [...]

Recently I’ve been seeing commercials for a payday loan service endorsed by Montel Williams. Montel touts this service as a viable way to borrow money quickly for exexpected expenses. I find this really ironic. See Montel sells a “health” product – a high end blender. My family had one. Actually several. I had one, it [...]

For the last week or two I’ve been hearing tv spots discussing a merger of Wachovia and Wells Fargo Banks. The first time I heard it I knew that I knew the spokesperson’s voice.

Well, Black Friday is over, all of the television commercials for the sales along with it. There is less than one month until Christmas. I didn’t see any must have deals this year. Cyber Monday didn’t seem to cause much of a fuss either. Did you shop on either day? Did you find any great deals?

Have you seen the Cheer commercials featuring Cameron Mathison, the actor that plays Ryan on All My Children? He is into all sorts of things these days. In these cheer commercials he plays Dr Dan. His smile is so bright, I wondered if they picked him for it as a tie in to the laundry [...]

It seems that commercials for products and services related to weight loss products are on the rise. Recently they’ve begun trying to pass law in Spain stating that commercials for some diet and beauty products would not be able to be shown before 10 pm. The reasoning is that they don’t want to encourage “body [...]

For a long time one of the biggest weight loss success stories out there was that of Jared and Subway. It had been said that Jared lost over 200 pounds just by eating Subway sandwiches for lunch and dinner. I don’t recall any mention of exercise or fitness equipment but would think he must have [...]
