I’m not a channel zapper. There are some commercials that I think are cute, some make me sing along, and others are so convincing, they make me want to go out and buy the product. But there are a ton of TV commercials that make me crazy.
As I’m sitting here on the couch reading Tweets and watching the tube, I can’t help but shake my head over the ADT commercial that’s been on twice in the past hour. You know the one…
Family leaves teenage girl at home. Young attractive girl decides to jog on a treadmill in a well lit room that consists of wall-to-wall windows when it’s pitch black outside — and of course puts her headphones on (probably listening to some rap music at full volume). The chick is like a fish in a lighted aquarium — on stage even. C’mon — the parents wouldn’t pull the curtains at night before leaving their vulnerable daughter home alone? ADT is not what this family needs! ADT doesn’t cure poor common sense.
