"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Odd, Odder, Oddest...

Welcome back to a very special edition of What The Fuck Wednesday brought to you by the atozchallenge and the letter O. What The Fuck Wednesday is the prime location to read about products, items, and events that make your head snap around and your mouth utter the phrase "What the fuck is that?"

I saw a commercial on TV tonight. Odd is about the mildest thing I could call the commercial. Fucked up, twisted, weird...those words all apply too. Sadly, it's not some risque product in this commercial. No, the commercial is about pop tarts. Seriously y'all...my husband and I did a double take after seeing this commercial and asked each other if we really saw that or was it some unknown force working on our brains to make us hallucinate the commercial. Take a quick look and tell me if you can figure out what demographic could possibly be targeted in this commercial. The only answer I came up with were consumers high on hallucinogens.


So, two questions...1) what demographic did this commercial target? 2) have you seen anything, heard anything, or read anything that made you say What the Fuck lately?

Wow. Really hard to say who they were aiming that marketing at. It sure doesn't make me want to go out and buy pop tarts though.
My guess is that it had more to do with an over-the-top marketing exec who though they were too cute for their tarts ;-)
