Vermont Teddy Bear Valentine's Day Commerical
IT ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME!! Bimbo girls squealing over a fucking teddy bear. All implying "Guys, get her a teddy bear, it'll get you laid." Honestly MSNBC why do you air this shit? Is money that tight?

1. Probably for the same reason they aired the hell out of the Pajama-Gram ad at Christmas.
I look at it like this: at least they aren't running ads offering to eliminate your debt or train you at home to be a truckdriver or repair small appliances. Yet.

And as cute as those bears are, I would never act like those girls..
Geeze, who made up that script?? And the guys faces read..
"Damn, I am getting something tonight!" talk about obvious!!

So, I guess the commericals message is, if you want to get laid, get the girls the bear.
Does it work that way? Um.. no.

3. But come on...that's the theme of ALL ads for Valentine's Day presents, is it not??
At least the ones aimed at guys??

Same thing with Christmas ads for gifts to buy your girlfriend/wife (especially diamonds). The theme is simple: "Give her this on the day, get sex that night."

It's a tried-and-true approach to selling romantic crap that has probably been around since the snake tried to sell Adam on sending Eve a fruit basket for her birthday.
