Dirty mind?
Apr. 24th, 2005 04:07 pmCaught a commercial yesterday:
An animated piece of green gum, made out as a girl, is explaining to a green apple why they can't be together (acting out a regular break up scene). Her closing argument: "Plus, I last and last and you..., well,... don't." I burst out laughing, "could they possibly load it with any more innuendo?" N. looked at me with a politely puzzled expression. I explained. He claimed I was the only person who would see anything wrong with that phrase and that creators had nothing of the sort in mind when they made the ad. Perhaps. But I bet they knew exactly what they were doing.
BTW, the commercial did not serve its purpose, with all the laughter, I completely missed the name of the gum.
