Recently I have been watching the television with a whole new outlook. That outlook is one that proves that television is ridiculous. Let me present a scenario.
Deep Male Voice: Do you have acne? *Really pretty woman, who probably has never had such a problem appears and nods. Her skin is a perfect tone, she has gorgeous green eyes, and she looks almost angelic.*
Deep Male Voice: Well we can solve that problem with *product name*. A clinically proven formula to make your acne go away *now, for the next minute, you watch gorgeous woman splash water all over the screen, and herself. You watch her dance, and frolic, and scamper. You watch as she never once uses the acne wash, but pretends to rinse it off. You notice that there is no change to this woman's non-existent acne problem.*
I don't know, but this to me seems a little out of place. Shouldn't acne commercials, and skin cleansing commercials, and wrinkle-reducing commercials be a little more... Oh, I don't know... Realistic. I would like to see results for my acne, I want to see someone who was like a walking white head, and see their transformation from incredibly grotesque ugliness, to someone who looks like a normal human being.
I just don't understand how this type of commercial works to sell these washes. Subliminal messages? "IF you use our acne cream, THEN you will be as beautiful as this woman splashing water on your screen!" I just don't understand how this demonstrates the cream in any way. Call me crazy.
So, I have come to yet another conclusion. It must be an appeal for men. "Oh, man! Did you see that chick on that commercial. I got to go buy that bottle, her picture is totally on it!"
Great work AVON! Great job! You've captured yet another idiot!
Sometimes... I'm embarrassed to be a human male.
