Every so often, a television or newspaper ad catches my attention. Usually because it’s crazy even to me. Here are two for my “you’ve got to be kidding” collection:
1. Our local department store is now selling ladies pajamas that have been infused with vitamin E. Now whether that means they won’t wrinkle as easily or they heal any rips in themselves, I don’t know. And does the vitamin E soak into your skin as you wear it? Can you get too much vitamin E in your system with these pajamas?
2. This is without a doubt the most ridiculous tv commercial I’ve ever seen. First, one of those sketches that can be seen as two different objects comes on the screen. A lady thinks the picture shows one thing, but a man sees something else entirely. The point is then made that men and women see things differently because they are different. So the product being advertised is also made differently for each. The product? ‘Depends’ adult diapers. Give me a break. I couldn’t stop laughing.
It’ll be interesting to see if these products sell better as a result of their unusual advertising. Seen any crazy ads lately?
