random entry

This is random... cause I have no homework telling me not to.

I saw a commercial the other day. It started with a girl on horseback, riding along a tropical beach that was obviously the West coast because it was sunset. Not sunrise, because its a scientific fact that sunset is always more vivid than sunrise. Anyway, following the image of the horsegirl was a girl jumping off a cliff into tropical paradise waters. Following that was a bunch of girls happily running along the beach, splashing in the water wearing sexy bathing suits. Then comes the voiceover that tells you what product is being advertised. Can you guess? Not a travel ad, or an ad telling you to come to Hawaii, but this: "Venus razors. The only razor that can make a woman feel alive. Venus. Be a goddess today."

Ok... I don't use Venus razors, so I'm not an expert. But it is my firm belief that there is no possible way a razor can make a person "feel alive." That's a stupid phrase. How do you actually feel alive anyway? Breathing, eating, sleeping, feeling your heart beating, that's not enough to make you feel alive? You have to have a razor to do that? Riding a horse on the beach at sunset. That's a nice image. I'd like to try it some day. But how does a razor make me feel like I am riding a horse? That makes no sense.

I can just imagine what they will come up with next.

"Sweetie, we're going to be late, lets go."
"I know honey, but I just got this new Gillette and I want to finish driving the Chevy down the mountain."

There's no correlation between the two, unless they've invented a razor that can sense when it is being used, and has a computer chip to send electrical impulses that can manipulate brain waves and evoke happy images of beaches, horses, and sunsets.

Anyway, that's my rant for the day. Its completely random. It has no substance. It was fun to write.
