I understand that people have a connection with their pets.
Heck, I consider my Chihuahua-Terrier one of my best friends.
Did I mention he's almost as old as I am? |
But this commercial still manages to creep me out …
It could be because these women ramble on for over a minute
about their pet food...
Or the unsettling three cord guitar riff playing in the
background...
Or because they have absolutely nothing else to do besides
sit around, stroke their cat, and have a one way conversation with the camera O.o
I literally have nothing else to do today... |
I mean the third woman is at least
trying to paint when she begins describing her cat’s love for, "delectable gravy" and,
"sauces," but she promptly gives this up as the conversation about her cat becomes more in depth.
But I think the thing that scares me the most is the dead
look in each of their eyes as they gaze hysterically at the camera...
I will eat your children. |
At one point Blondie even makes a comment that once she
found out, “chicken-byproduct-meal” was the main ingredient in her cat’s food
she, “didn’t want to put her bowl down anymore.” Holy Sh*t. This woman would rather her cat starve to death than eat chicken-byproduct. I’m sure the cat shares that opinion.
I'm really not sure what the manufacturers were going for with this commercial or who they were trying to market to, but I think it's fair to say they failed. Unless, in fact, they were marketing to 40 + single women with one or more cats that haven't been laid in the past 3 years.
As if the actresses weren’t off putting enough the announcer come on and proclaims,
As if the actresses weren’t off putting enough the announcer come on and proclaims,
“All cat parents want their little girls to love their
food.”
Not “pets,” not “cats,” but “little girls.” Little girls by the name of Sophie, Gabbie, and Maddie. Holy Christ. Perhaps we should have had our eggs frozen Ladies. This cannot possibly be a healthy way to spend our time...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was weird.
