So I am having a lazy hungover sunday and sitting around watching TV. Over the course of the day, I saw some ads with some funny things in them. If you see them, you will get why I was amused.

First:
An ad for saving the polar bears because they are going to become extinct within the next 100 years. If you sign up to donate X amount of dollars they will send you a thank you, AND A PICTURE OF A POLAR BEAR!

I am not sure what would make someone be so moved by the fact that they are including a picture of a random polar bear. Just makes me think of a ripoff of those companies that show you pictures of the starving child you are helping, but this time you just get a generic picture of a polar bear that you may or may not be helping

Second:
An ad for a protector to put under your door to keep out drafts. It talks about convienence and easy to install yada yada yada. BUT it goes to a voice over "forget those bulky products you are used to" while showing an older woman pick up a normal draft protector and then dropping it while acting like she threw out her back.

First the normal protectors weigh like 2 pounds, and it is just sooo funny that this was included in the ad. Weight should not be a selling point for this product.

Third:
An ad for Snuggies which is just funny all together. It just looks like a cult thing. And I would never wear this to a soccer game.

Just kept me amused

Buy a bathrobe and wear it backwards. Same concept. And just as attractive.

That's what i'm doing right now, actually. However the bathrobe isn't long enough to cover my feet too. Snuggies are designed to cover everything!

Snuggies are designed to make couch potato hillbillies spend their life savings on useless crap!

Fixed.

Yes, because only couch potato hillbillies would want to keep their feet warm. They should know how useless that is. Dumb rednecks.

I never understood how wasting money to send me crap back is an incentive to donate.

That says a lot more than buying her an ab cruncher ball gimick thing.

Snuggies remind me of that Where's Waldo with all the monks in blue and red robes. I can't find a picture of it... google failed me :(

We actually had one of those ab cruncher balls. The dogs popped it in the first week.

But she's always saying she's cold and they do look comfie.
