You have a party at your house and some dude is there. You don’t know for sure who invited him, but you know his name is AJ. He seems pretty cool. As the party breaks up, you tell him how nice it was to have met him, wave good-bye to your friends, go inside and lock your doors.
A few moments later as you’re cleaning up the mess, you hear something. Through the door’s window, you see it’s AJ and ask out loud, “AJ?”
A satanic expression flushes over AJ’s face as he breaks the door’s glass in an attempt to get in, rape you, steal your stuff, and choke the life from your body!!!
That’s what Broadview Security wants you to believe this criminal would’ve done so you’ll buy their product (once Brinks Home Security), because that’s what their commercial advertisement is all about.
Think about it …If AJ is truly a criminal, he might’ve crashed your party to case your place, but if he was smart enough to play the ‘good guy’ role then, would he not have smiled and waved instead of immediately breaking in your door? Would he not have gestured that he’d forgotten something and said just loudly enough for you to hear, “I’m so sorry. I think I left my wallet inside.”? You’d have let him in! After all, you just fed him and socialized with him. Just moments ago, you thought it was a pleasure to meet his acquaintance — you would’ve let him in to look for his wallet because you’re nice like that.
I really hate when advertisers treat me, a consumer, like I’m stupid. It really ticks me off. It’s one thing to use humor (I can’t go into Tanner’s, our local grocery store, without singing “Love Stinks” when I pass by the mops!), but stop it already with treating me like I’m an idiot.
Listen people… get a dog. At least you’ll have protection once you let AJ in to get his imaginary wallet.
