It is good to be back! Back from the hospital. Back from all those sessions with psychiatrists. Back from the gluttonous binge...
It all started when I had a fight with my cable operator and he cut my connection. I did not see any ads for a long time, and something in my head just snapped! I started overeating! All I thought about was food, food and freaking food! As if everything was well in the advertising world!
After about a month of struggle to keep me away from the hospital canteen, the doctors gave up. So did the chef. But the world is full of miracles, and one came in the form of, you guessed it right, a commercial! One fine evening lying on my hospital bed I saw this commercial, and it worked liked magic! (by that time I had gained the strength to look up from my dinner plate to the TV set). I found a reason to survive! I threw away my dinner plate and announce at once that I was back on a fast!!!
I really thought it was an Axe commercial. I really really wished it to be. And what was that suggestive reference to carrots? Hmm. I decided to wait and watch. So the guy is made to sit in a bathtub! Not a large pot like the jungle tribes have in movies. perhaps these women have not seen those movies. How can they? They are in a jungle, silly!! They only know how to drive an SUV like James Bond. So one of them rescues the guy from the clutches of evil man-eaters (now, don't start thinking).
Wait! isn't she one of them?! What is it now, instant Stockholm Syndrome? But isn't that one where the captive falls for the captor, and not the other way round? Maybe she saw the potential in this guy, that if they get along, he could take her out to a five star hotel where they serve carrots!
By far the only believable thing in this commercial is the character of the friend. He looks completely stupefied! Like he has just read the script and trying to find reason in it!
Thanks to this display of creativity, I am back on my feet, and have decided to continue this fast until someone explains the marketing wisdom behind this commercial, or gifts me the XUV, along with the hungry chauffer.
