Am incercat azi sa-i explic unui prieten din afara de ce nu suport reclamele la Activia si de ce m-am bucurat enorm cand in sfarsit UE le-a interzis sa mai abereze cu taratzele lor cu tot.
Me: we had this series of absurd commercials for some brand of yogurt with cereals
called Activia, which were supposed to regulate digestive track and prevent bloating. Until EU banned them as they had no proof it would help in any sort of way; you might have ve as well ate dirt or plums and beer
D: lol
Me: They pictured some incredibly absurd situations
Such as a woman - ofc, who else would buy that shit - standing alone on the couch, upset. And her friends: "Hey lets go to the movie"
"I can't...I'm bloated..."
Me: well first of all
D: hahahaha
Me: Having gas is not exactly a socially accepted subject in here
dunno about you guys, but we don't discuss our intestinal issues with friends unless they are extravagantly hilarious, such as "I took a shit on my mom-in-law's poodle"
D: erm nope, not here either as far as i know lol
Me:dunno...otherwise, you just friggin keep it for yourself
no matter if its gas, solid or whatever
D: erm yes
Me: Second
the phenomenon of bloating was depicted as
a sort of gassy plague preventing the subject from having friends, life, activities
and limiting him / her to stand and (probably fart like a docker ) alone on his / her couch
I hated those commercials with a passion.
hai, bai karikoka, mai baga un articol. ca abia te-am descoperit si tot astept.
ReplyDeleteIoi tu ce fain scrii, imi place.
ReplyDeleteStai sa vezi sezonul doi de la reclama asta, in rolul principal Glade (sau Breeze, nu-s chiar sigura) - transmit direct din Franta:
Sta tanti casnica mumos machiata si imbracata pe canapea, si citeste revista. La ora X tre' sa ii vina sotul acasa, si ea tot pe canapea. Sare dintr-o data in sus, da cu Glade (sau Breeze) prin camera (canapea, covor, dupa usi etc) si cand intra consortul pe usa ii zice ca nu trebuia sa se oboseasca asa de tare cu curatenia si ca ce o iubeste alea alea.
Noa, ce zici? Eu cred ca asta auzise de iaurtul Activia debalonaturul prea tarziu, cand isi pierduse prietenele care nu voiau sa iasa cu ea din cauza de gaze vizibile la suprafata burtii, si de fapt se repliaza in sine si in relatia speciala cu sotul ei, si isi demonstreaza ca inca mai e o femeie adevarata, cu ajutorul lui Glade (sau Breeze).
Iti mai pot da un preview si de sezonul trei, tot in direct din Franta: cum face Calgon sa mearga bine casnicia, daca am trecut peste gaze cu Activia si am redefinit conceptul de femeie moderna cu Glade (sau Breeze).
Uraaaa... abia aștept să dispară relama aia...
