The really nice thing about Entertainment is there is so much money in it you end up with really fun commercials.
Like the anti-theft device cellphone ad. It was probably one of the cheapest commercials ever made, but they probably had to hire a really expensive funny guy to come up with the idea.
The result of a potential hefty consumer sway looming over a creative mind is that I get to watch commercials which are a lot more interesting to watch (with the exception of Empire Carpets'). Unfortunately this comes at a time when I don't really watch TV. No - not because it broke and only provided black/white versions of our old colored shows and we were too cheap to get it fixed...but then in a weird quirk of electronic wiring it fixed itself and we get color again.
Because: I really don't watch TV. Sometimes when people say this they are bragging. This is one of those times. If I cared enough to support Entertainment with my money I'd buy Tivo. Instead I just watch a few shows on the Internet. This is great because then I don't have to watch commercials. Ironically. So in a strange twist of time I now look up commercials on the Internet. What's going on with the world? Either we've all just gotten really clever, or we're dumb enough to think we're being entertained.
Obviously, I think I'm smart, so it must be the other. The world has definately gotten creativer. Look at our modern way of designing homes... who would actually choose baby-poop green and orange? (Sorry Grandma.)
My whole point in this pontification is that I like the following commercial for the following reasons:
First, I never watch rubbish on TV, unless it's in the form of Dirty Jobs.
Second, with the writers doing their jobs again we've all stopped viewing PBS and other quality channels out of desperation, and are back to secretly ogling scripted trash. We only do this in private and quickly change to the the Discovery Channel when our husbands walk in the room.
Third, because I like Mike Rowe. If Mr. Right wasn't around, heaven forbid, I might consider Mr. Rowe, except I have an exceptionally sensitive olfactory.
