So...I just saw that stupid Cherry Pepto Commercial again, and I have to say...
How stupid.
This is where pop culture and I have a problem. When the media takes something that should be soothing...or just plain boring...and turns it into a carnival of dumb.
This is where commercials go to die.
Why does Pepto-Bismol even need to be funny?
Without discussing the fact that Cherry Pepto tastes worse than the original Minty-Chalk flavor, I have to wonder what person or company came up with this commercial idea. Sure it's "kitschy", but it just isn't that entertaining. It's not even that family oriented.
What the hell is Chicken Cheriyaki anyway?
If anything I would think the commercial should be serious, since diarrhea tends to be less comical than regular gas.
I mean...everyone loves a good fart joke, but no one makes jokes about the runs.
It just bothers me that marketing techniques have become so silly. I realize they do capture the attention of the viewer, but doesn't that say something about the American public?
Is T.V. actually turning us into those people that laugh at bad jokes?
