"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Advertising Agony

Of the many commercials I absolutely despise, one in particular stands out whenever I take the time to consider it. Every single time it flashes on the screen I just about cry because it makes no sense whatsoever.

I'd be willing to bet that it irritates other people, too. Cassie was the one who first pointed it out to me, so I know she's in on the loathing...

It's the Cialis commercial with the two naked people sitting in separate bathtubs on a cliff.

ARGH. Seriously! For one, who the hell sits in bathtubs on cliffs? How did they get the bathtubs there? Why did they put the bathtubs there? And what would prompt them to sit naked on top of a cliff anyway?

Oh, and my favorite question, the one I still don't quite get: How exactly do you go about having sex in separate bathtubs??

You know what? I don't want to know the answer to that. Too graphic for me. Too... No. No, I don't want to know.

Commercials these days make as much sense as a lot of the music videos I see- no sense at all. My friends agree. The most "what the heck?" commercial for me right now is this one car commercial, which it goes on about seducing and sexual comments about a car. Scares me a bit.
