Brainwashing

After long thought I've decided that this blog's theme is going to be around tv commercials. Oddly enough in the day and age of tivo and dvr I still love good commercials. This may have something to do with some of my family members being involved in the advertising industry and seeing the creativity and art that goes into making good commercials.

I'm that girl at the party that says "You know that commercial that has such and such and does the thing." And of course no one else knows what I'm talking about. But thanks to sites such as youtube.com I can share the commercials that are worth while.

The commercial that is dignified enough to get mentioned first is the new WAMU commercial promoting their Whoo Hoo campaign. It isn't on YouTube.com yet so you'll have to use your imagination. He walks in and talks to the attendant about how his account was over drawn and she says no to worry because he has a savings account with them. And he starts to imagine being worry free and he's on the floor in some type of furry sweat suit and he looks up and there is a puppy with a sign saying "whoo hoo" around his neck. It pans out and there are puppies every where and the man is just giggling!

I loved it! It automatically made me think of my best friend K because she always says that she wants a puppy farm. She would walk outside and all the puppies would run to her! Oh how she wishes she could have been in that commercial.

See that is what a commercial is supposed to do, get your attention and make you remember it. I even remembered what it was advertising.

More of my favorites are to come!
