The air is sweet, the flowers are in bloom … and we’re talking to ourselves
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
While searching for a rather repetitively aired commercial on which I’d long meant to comment*, I found something much more interesting instead:
Giving it a shot: So … What are we waiting for?
*I was originally looking for the piece that starts with the dialogue (or monologue, I guess): “Bicycle, what are we waiting for …” but I could not find it in video form, even though it’s an incredibly frequent CNN commercial. In either case, I find it very tough to imagine the focus group that resulted in Zyrtec brand managers deciding to run ads in which women talk to nonverbal objects/entities (here’s another example). Perhaps the waiting area outside of the conference area was filled with hallucinogens on that fateful day.
