So, watching TV with Jessie and I see another advertisement for a product that I've seen advertised for a few years now. But only now did the thought float in to my brain that the product really doesn't need advertising.
Cotton.
Just the fabric.
This is probably just a States thing, so my Euro and Aussie friends probably have never seen these before. Here's a sample:
The one we saw had a cover of "Goodbye to you" with people throwing their clothes away in favor of cotton.
So I ask again, why do they need to advertise? Has there really been a downward trend in the sale of cotton clothing? And if so...why? Cotton is awesome. You know what needs to advertise? Polyester.
You don't see satin advertising. What's with the cotton?
Do I really want to be alive?
ReplyDeleteYes, you do!
Because...
We have the same type of advertisements for lamb and beef, I cant imagine why its not as if suddenly the whole world is going to decide to go nude and turn vegetarian... that would be horibble.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering what's up with the cotton commercials too. And what's more, they're all kind of weird...
ReplyDeleteThe touch....the feel....the fabric of our lives....
ReplyDeletecompare that to:
Beef. It's what's for dinner (so shut up and eat)
Aha, I'm starting to cotton on now ....!!
