Commercials Think We're Stupid

I'm at home watching TV, and a Wendy's commercial comes on. At the end, they throw out the marketing slogan, "It's way better than fast food, it's Wendy's!" I laugh. Wendy's IS fast food! Duh.

I get in my car and turn on the radio, and a Weight Watchers commercial comes on. "Stop Dieting, Start Living!" it croons. Okay, good, no Weight Watchers then- That's a diet system. I'm not stupid.



Then I got to thinking... they must really think that I AM stupid. Why else would they spend money on these? I was offended. For a second. Then I started thinking of other great ad campaigns these geniuses could come up with. Here's a short list of my ideas (feel free to add your own!):

American Idol Season 8 -- "Like nothing you've seen before!"
Trix -- "Buy your kids a healthy cereal. Buy Trix!"
Blockbuster -- "If you hate renting movies, you'll love us!"
Pizza Hut -- "We're not just a pizza place!"
Transformers 2 -- "Tired of special effects based movies? Want to see a film with a great plot and talented acting instead? Transformers 2, coming June 26!"
Mountain Dew -- "Don't do soda, do the Dew!"
Las Vegas -- "Good clean family fun!"
XBOX -- "Are you sick of playing video games? Play XBOX!"
Wal-Mart -- "Support the little guy!"
Target -- "Go Quality!"
Starbucks -- "Be unique- Work at Starbucks!"
Barack Obama -- "MORE than a politician!"
Major League Baseball -- "America Loves a Hero!"
FORD -- "Get Out And Walk!"
