Everything I need to know I learned from commercials

If you pay attention you can learn a lot from watching commercials (or 'adverts' for you British people). Here are some things 30 seconds of advertising has taught me:

  1. Only black people like Sprite and McDonald's.
  2. You can get a good workout in 4 minutes a day.
  3. Cleaning can be fun if you get the right mop.
  4. A single paper towel can clean up 2 cups of orange juice, a bowl of oatmeal, 2 cartons of raw eggs, and a steamy pile of dog poo.
  5. Minivans and station wagons can be SUV's too if you show college kids going camping with one.
  6. Cool diapers make pooping your pants fun.
  7. Herpes makes you go mountain climbing and kayaking.

So remember these important life lessons.
