Daily A~Musing #10:  Funny Commercials 

When bigwig executive-types in tall buildings in large cities 

get together with their ace marketing and media teams, there is only one item on their agenda: 

"What would Maevon do?" 

The sad and embarrassing truth is, I'm a total lollipop for 

advertising.  If it's cute, clever, intriguing, unique, funny, 

interesting, or just something I've never seen before that I 

don't really need or want, but it comes in this really cool shaped bottle...I'll buy it.

"Hello.  My name is Maevon and I'm an ad-a-holic." 

Don't worry, I'm a professional.  I'm therapizing myself on 

this.  I've identified my triggers, researched coping mechanisms and I've implemented a crisis plan, particularly for those times when I don't have any money.  

The good news is... 

I can still watch the commercials.  AAAAnnnnd...I don't have to buy anything. Particularly when the commercials I really like are for things that aren't cute, clever, intriguing, unique, funny, interesting or something I've never seen before that I don't really need or want...

"...but look at this cool bottle!  And look, the label 

says, 'Try me," like this little bottle is desperate to 

come home with me! Awww...I know I

never eat hot sauce, but it's sooooo cute!" 

So, in the spirit of the annual ritual of ridiculously expensive 

commercials aired on Superbowl time that people tend to talk about more frequently than the game itself, I hope you

enjoyed the previously presented chuckles.
