Absolutely baffled by a commercial I just saw on t.v.

[Wolfman 11]

Some lady puts on one of those Crest teeth-whitening strips and then goes to sleep and has a dream that she is doing the Riverdance with like 25 William Shattner clones, then she wakes up happy. I'm not even sure how to start dealing with this. But I do know that if a product produces such abhorrent nightmares I'm not going to use it.

But then again, it was on C.M.T.
(Before you ask I'm watching C.M.T. because there is a special on Steve Earle's John Walker's Blues.)

1. That Bill,he so crazy.

2. It's one of those new surrealist ad campaigns

Have you checked out the Dali/Bud Light commercial?

3. Anything but that damned Trisket ad, showing a guy

chewing a biscuit like a CAMEL!!!!

That is just totally GROSS!!!

4. Ad people are scrambling

Their ideas have been recycled so often they are trying Zen, abstractions and discontinuities to hype the jaded masses.

Watch the Hummer ads. Weirdly ill.

5. Does the US see the commercial. . .

. . .where the guy is eating kitty treats? It's hilarious!

6. Maybe they told the ad guys "We signed Shatner. Now think of something"?

Or maybe they asked Shatner what he'd like to do? I don't know. I've seen the commercial and I can't think of why they'd do it.

7. Yet another reason I got rid of my TV back in 1995. (nt)
