In past entries, I've talked about the horrors of TV ads and what they do to the human condition. But as I watch more of them, it becomes more and more apparent that TV ads aren't coming from super-intelligent ad-men with nefarious plans. As it turns out, they are coming from absolute morons who are just trying to sell you shit.
Last night, I watched a commercial for Plan B, an aptly named emergency contraceptive. The thing that really baffled me was the way they describe the process in which Plan B works. There is a voice-over narration that says something to the effect of, "The sooner you use Plan B, the better it works," and that tickles me. So basically if you take Plan B right away, you won't be as pregnant as you would if you waited, say, nine months.
I think it's funny to pick out flaws in things that cost millions of dollars.
