Hooray for Puppies!

There is currently a commercial that I am finding hard to dislike even though it is incredibly stupid. It is a holiday themed commercial and a puppy is welcoming his puppy family into his home for Christmas. He calls them all Bro, Sis and Cuz, which I find terribly annoying, and there is no mention of the product until the very end when you see that it is an ad for Cottonelle toilet paper. Overall it is dumb and irritating, but I just can't resist it - there aren't many things cuter than labrador puppies. So while it is totally ineffective because I will not be switching to Cottonelle any time soon, I still look forward to it coming on so I can see the cute little dogs - I just have to mute that whole Cuz business.

Some People Don't Want Cat Hair on Everything?

I like the new commercial for the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser where the couple has covered everything in their house, including themselves with plastic wrap. They are sitting there crinkling and rustling, and I'm sure that everyone out there watching who has pets can sympathize. Personally, I gave up a long time ago on keeping pet hair off of my clothes. I used to lint roll and try not to touch anything right before I left the house if I was wearing black and it was such a hassle. Finally, ony day I just said " you know what? I have cats. I'm going to to have cat hair on me and that's just the way it is." I feel so much freer now. Of course, I also never went anywhere nice so it didn't matter, and now I don't go anywhere at all so it matters even less. Which is probably good because who knows what is all over me now between the cats and two kids. As for the rest of my house, well, cleanliness is next to godliness so I guess me and God aren't that close. Fortunately one of my cats has taken to chasing his tail in the bathtub every night leaving copious amounts of hair (and I do mean copious- we're talking double handfuls every night!!). I say fortunately because it is easy to sweep out of the tub and it cuts down on his shedding everywhere else. Unfortunately it is hard to get every single hair so taking a bath might leave you a little fuzzy. That's just the way it is.

Pony Rides for Everyone

You've got to love the new Verizon commercial where one girl gets a pony but is jealous of her friends' new Verizon cell phones. They are all staring at the pony with such disbelief, as it snarls and destroys a dog house - hilarious. It is such a great play on the fact that every little girl supposedly asks for a pony at some point, and the choice to make this one apparently rabid is great. "Does he bite?""yeah." So funny.
In other pony news, the Toyota commercial where the mother is talking on the phone about how much she saved on her new toyota (model?) and asks that her daughter not be told because she wants a pony is sort of funny too. Not so much the whole commercial itself which is actually kind of stupid, but definitely the little girl all dressed up in her horrible pink cowgirl outfit looking like she is about to launch herself at her mother in fury. Her expression is great, although of course telling your 6 year old she can't have a pony shouldn't be this big of a deal. But that kid is scary so maybe that explains it.
