Two commercials that I don’t understand
July 18, 2008I watch A&E for a good two hours straight on Monday nights because of my favorite show, “Intervention.” These two commercials air back-to-back about four times during that two hours:
OKAY. First off, if you need a marker, you’re going to get a Sharpie. Sharpies are fun. I love writing with them; it’s eerily satisfying. WHY, OH WHY, do they need DAVID BECKHAM to help them sell thse deliciously tipped pen treats? How much are they paying him? Moving? Get a Sharpie to mark all of your boxes. Sharpie is like, a term used for any marker even when it’s NOT a Sharpie. David Beckham? Really? Like, Kathy Griffin would’ve been cheaper, though no celebrity is necessary.
University of Phoenix – The New Pornographers? Not a connection I would make. People who listen to the New Pornographers heard about them in college. That one’s just kind of weird to me, but it seems like the University of Phoenix is a bit more legit than I previously thought based on the quality of this commercial and the music chosen.
