These kinds of commercials annoy me. The depression robe, the blob of sadness, all that jazz. Let me just say that almost everyone deals with SERIOUS depression at some point in their life, and it's not a comfy robe, and it's not an adorable blob with a cowlick. Who in the actual fuck is coming up with these mascots?
Now, before I get accused of being butthurt, or someone calls the WAAHMbulance, let me say that I know it's not that serious. I get that they're just commercials, need to lure people in in order to sell their product and sometimes that's all it takes. But it makes me wonder—if they were going for reality, what would the mascots be? A few thoughts:
-a giant rusty anchor.
-a ball and chain
-hand shackles, along those same lines.
JUST TOSSIN' EM OUT THERE. I'm looking at you, pharmaceutical marketing firms. Wink wink, nudge nudge. Raw reality, that's where it's at! At least, that's what the "masterminds" behind the shitshows known as The Jersey Shore and The Bachelor/ette want us to think, lololol. I miss The Real World and Road Rules, circa 1996-2002. ]:
