Well, I just when I thought I had seen it all, I was blind-sided today while watching Attack of the Show on G4 – my absolute favorite show on earth.
Last week while watching the Olympic
games, I caught the tail end of a Ragu commercial with a rather
catchy jingle and fluffy cheeked kid eating a hearty spaghetti dinner
with his parents. Because I was preoccupied, I totally missed the
first few seconds of the commercial and only observed the boy walking
with what appeared to be a text book under his arm. Therefore, I
simply assumed he had a tough day at school and food was his reward.
Considering his husky appearance, this visual was just as troubling
as the rest of the commercial.
Thanks to the Candace Bailey and Sara
Underwood, which by the way are neck and neck for my unofficial white
chicks with sexiest legs on TV contest, I was able to see a replay of
the commercial. The moment I saw the opening camera move, I knew
exactly where the commercial was going and sat on the edge of my
couch waiting for the entire scene to unfold.
Within seconds, I was rolling on the
floor like a geeked up middle schooler on the front end of a sugar
rush. Honestly, I don't have any critical analysis of Ragu's new
commercial. In fact, I have to tip my hat to the staff member who
either fought tooth and nail to convince their boss the commercial
would fly or give a high five to the staffer who doesn't give a #@$&!
Either way, I want my next job to be in the Ragu marketing
department. And as far as the FCC is concerned, the world is about
to end thanks to the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta apocalypse anyway so
you might as well loosen the ties and let the country go out with a
smile.
