Another stupid commercial

While watching some of the coverage of hurricane Ike I saw this commercial for this “personal sound amplifier” called “Listen Up”, have you seen this bullshit?

If not, you can see it here


In the first scene of the commercial there is this older couple in bed, the wife is reading a book and the husband is apparently watching TV when this bitch leans over and says, “Could you turn that down please!” and he does! What a pussy.

Now there are two things wrong here, first thing is if this was a real couple they would have both been asleep. My grandparents didn’t read and watch TV in bed. It seemed to me that they were in bed shortly after the 6:00 news so I doubt highly that they were reading and watching the late show in the middle of the night.

The second part of this that is wrong is that the husband should have looked over and showed her how strong his pimp hand is. Payow! Was that quiet enough?!

In the next scene memaw is on the phone while pops is watching the game or something and she yells over, “Does that have to be so loud!”

Ok bitch, you are on a cordless phone, why don’t you take your ass to another room. You expect gandpa to pick up that heavy ass console TV and tote it to the guest room or something? Damn.

Later on in the commercial the narrator talks about how you can hear conversations from across the room and they show a guy in the gym apparently listening to two girls talk about him. And then some dame is checking her mail as the other desperate housewives are walking by talking about her. Sounds like a restraining order starter kit to me.

There is also a mention about how this device can be used for outdoorsmen and it shows some guy hunting. Why is it that the thought of someone who can’t hear that well in the wilderness with a high-powered rifle scares the hell out of me? Like it is all of the sudden safe for Marlee Matlin’s son to be out deer hunting. I don’t want to be there when the batteries die and the Jr. Matlin mistakes me for an 8-point buck.

Don’t get dead
