There is a hand wound talking to me on TV

Commercial for New Skin®.

It's doing that happy little talking smiley face - using a gash on the hand as the mouth. The wound is talking and expressing its pain - not the hand or the person connected to the hand.

If your wound is sentient and can even express those feelings verbally, isn't it wrong to suffocate it with New Skin®?

Shouldn't you just name your wound and introduce it to your friends?

You'd always have a friend. Well, until it healed on its own. But then you'd have a cool scar to brag about.

I think it's a commercial for a Swifter & I would never buy one because I find that commercial so inane it's almost insulting. I'm a grown woman. It's a frickin' cleaning product.

But if they wanted to move on their own and do what they were intended to do, I wouldn't complain.

How about the one where the two ice cream products are leering at each other! The premise being that the advertised product is a combination of the two.

Mingling, mixing - I don't care. As long as they go back to be the product I bought once I open the door again.

I'm convinced my dogs change the channel when I'm not in the room.

Not a hand wound, not a belly button, nothing else.

for wounds to the body. For that matter wounds to any living thing. Including plants.

I am taking donations to start The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Wounds. Or SPCW.
Anyone wanting to donate can access Damnouch.uh.

I'm sure they thought it cute though.

I don't want my gaping wounds carrying on a conversation with me.
