TV ads, what are they thinking?

I’ve been seeing some crazy ads on TV lately. There is one where this guy is going on and on about how rugged his new SUV is and how it can get him where he wants to go. They show him, with his SUV, on the very top a mountain and he’s standing on the edge of the drop off getting ready to sky down the mountain. Dude! He drove up alone and is now leaving his brand new SUV on top of a mountain covered in snow!! I’m not sure this is the demographic the auto sellers really want appeal to, they are too stupid to live long enough to pay off the loan.

Also there is this ad for Oreos with Donald Trump and his double. Who thought this was a good idea? The Donald is not the most attractive guy, or personable for that matter. Who thought having him hawk Oreos was appetizing? And, one Donald wasn’t enough, they had to double him? Yuck!! He must have bought the Oreo brand. That is the only explanation that makes sense. Crazy!

And the toilet paper commercials with the bears in the woods. They are talking about how their toilet paper doesn’t leave paper behind, and you can use less of it to get the job done. Hummm, do bears really worry about this? Is this a topic on which I would consider a bear an expert, or even knowledge? Wouldn’t any kind of paper get stuck in all that fur? What are they doing with all that used toilet paper? Doesn’t seem environmentally friendly.
