I saw the new As Seen on TV commercial for Michael Jackson lithograph poster sets this week.
Now I was watching Comedy Central when I first saw it, so it really did take a minute for me to realize this was a real commercial and not some spoof for one of the network’s show. Not that I didn’t know some commemorative commercials were coming for Michael Jackson – people can’t resist making a buck somehow – but this commercial was a bit much for a few reasons.
First of all the statement: “This elegant portrayal of Michael wearing a white suit as pure as his art…” Really? Then the random people alone in their living rooms that look like mini M.J. shrines. I soo wasn’t ready for this commercial.
And of course, it’s a limited time only! It’s restricted to only 30 print days, so if you don’t order now, this opportunity is gone forever. And the ever-so-necessary order now and we’ll give you a bonus item ploy is included. This brings me back to the memorable Obama plates and coins after he was elected.
The second commercial also made me laugh. Again, I so wasn’t ready for this:
Who at Baskin Robbins thought of this commercial? This reminds me of Florida and of college. Good times…
