Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007Ridiculous WalMart Commercial (OT)
(I posted this to rfc but thought I'd share here, too.) I saw the most ridiculous WalMart commercial last night. It opens with two Chinese guys standing in front of an assembly line producing some sort of small electronic gadget, talking away (in Chinese). The gadgets go along the conveyor belt and eventually wind up in individual boxes. Pan camera to the right to show a couple with a young boy and a WalMart shopping cart standing next to the conveyor belt as the boy plucks one of the boxes off the belt and puts it in their cart. One big happy family! With all the recent flack about Chinese ingredients poisoning pets and people, not to mention WalMart selling so much stuff made in China and people (at least pretending to) boycott WalMart, I was utterly amazed they would pick now to air a commercial like this! What kind of advertising agency do they have? Shouldn't they have yanked this ad? Don't these people read the papers? It's ludicrous!

I was very, very sick at the time they aired (I was coming down off of voluntarily cold-turkeying from Neurontin, Wellbutrin, and Effexor and had been throwing up for 3 straight weeks). Between the imagery and the nails-on-chalkboard sound bombardment, this commercial sent me instantly to worship the porceline throne!

I hope coming off of those eventually won't make me that sick! Ginger-lyn who started physical therapy yesterday. (staring at several sheets of exercises to do at home. Arrrrghhhhhh!) Gotta go bend my knees or something. >>> (I posted this to rfc but thought I'd share here, too.) >>> [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > Gotta go bend my knees or something. Only if you quit taking it cold-turkey - ask you doctor to give you a "weaning off" schedule if you want to stop taking them.

That's the part I really hate. When they grab their butts and say "diarrhea". Honestly. The public doesn't need that kind of visual aid. We can figure out which part of the anatomy is affected by di--a--rrhe---a.
