Weird ads…

About the one main thing I do on my smart phone is play solitaire and this car game. I don’t really text that much and I simply have gotten out of the habit of even talking on the phone with people. It’s not that I don‘t want to talk to people but I’m never sure what kind of schedule they’re on and I know for myself there are times when I’m more or less down for the day and just want to vegetate (which now that I think about it is most of the time).

They say these ads are free but none of them are free and you wind up being deluged with these ads. Sometines they’ll be an ad that’s in heavy rotation like there was a Volvo ad a few months back that I found very annoying. There are times when Royal whatever that game is or one of the variations shows up and I’ll use the opportunity for limited play but I won’t download it just because these things are addictive and I waste too much time as it is.

The other day this ad came up on the phone:  

First off, it’s fucking hilarious on a whole bunch of levels. I mean, generally women would like the world (or at least men) to believe they don’t shit. They want men to believe that the way they want men to buy into their appearance which is generally artifice more than anything else.

Then, I was thinking… WHO COMES UP WITH AN AD LIKE THIS?!?!? I mean did the people who crafted this thing think that some constipated women was suddenly going to have a EUREKA moment as she had at last found a means of relief?

The cartoon is very good I have to say and really captures that moment of frustration and pain perfectly but seriously.

I did a quick search and apparently this is some ‘GUT FLORA’ company selling snake oil dressed up so you pay through the nose (or is that the wrong orifice?).

All I can say is that it was an ad that sure stuck out but if only for all the wrong reasons.
