Ads, cars, etc.

I just looked up a video about a trouble code for a car and this ad with a hyper person who says she's an intern was playing...it ends with: "I gotta go because there's this really cute guy sitting behind me."

Someone's written about this...or maybe not that specific one, but....

Okay. So, it's a different ad. So, what is the big deal. Is there anything wrong with being cute, and peppy and happy? And...Is this the ideal??? What's Helen doing back there in the back seat?

Hi, Helen. Maybe you can Jenna can talk about yoga later???

Well, I just internally rewrote the ad so the girl with glasses at the computer doesn't glance at the peppy intern with annoyance...instead she shrieks and abandons her terminal to run over and embrace Jenna, they dissolve in a hug, tell that dude who built the lab how awesome he is, and triumphantly depart for a soul cleansing yoga session.

"I think you should focus your feminist energies on more important things." "Like what?" "Like Donald Trump." "Everyone's talking about Donald Trump already."

Aren't the subtleties interesting?

Found the original that made me look it up...
