Why the majority of TV commercials are still an insult to your intelligence

So, I just watched another stupid TV spot for Bounty Towels. As usual, there was a kid turning the kitchen and living room into a garbage dump. Spilling juice, jelly, ketchup, quick drying cement, you name it, all over the furniture, rugs, drapes etc. In walks Mum…  Instead of freaking out and killing the kid, she smiles, grabs the bounty and cleans up. Listen guys… Real life isn’t like that. The kid would be pushing up daisy’s in a landfill if a real life Mum found her kid doing that. But you know what, they’ve been making totally unrealistic commercials like that for fifty years. And they’ll still be making them fifty years from now! messy.jpg

Hey Mum... Is that a smile,            or a snarl?
