Like the rest of America, I was anxiously awaiting the return of Mr. Romance himself, Fabio, in a highly touted commercial for Nationwide Investments.
Yawn.
While I enjoyed Fabio’s gondoliering, it seems as though potential was squandered. The last time he was in the news, Fabio had been hit in the face by a goose while riding a roller coaster.
When you’ve got Fabio as your spokesman, how do you NOT somehow involve a goose?
I thought the Bud commercials with the clydsdales was running long and into the next ad -- that Fabio looks like a horse. What do women see in that guy? Nice hairless chest!
Footblog resonds:
Yes, Brandon, we women just can't get enough of Fabio. You really understand us! You must have a lot of sisters.
I still think this blog should be about your feet and not this dog of a game, Paige. They are probably a lot more interesting.
Footblog responds:
Just a second, Vlad -- I dropped a pretzel on the floor and have to gingerly pick it up with one of my fire-engine-red-pedicured toes...
Please let me know what you thought of the Hummer H3 ad.
In my opinion it's REALLY tasteless.
Fooblog responds:
Ordinarily, I'm all for interspecies breeding. And there's nothing more beautiful than childbirth. But when your product name is Hummer, wouldn't you steer clear of sexuality altogether?
cough, choke! Now yer talking, Lassie! Gimme those toes, tickle, tickle! Can I be that pretzel? What football game? Go Steelhawks! cough, wheh!
Yep, I totally agree with you. Plus did they have to make the "female" absolutely the most horrible character (outside of J. Simpson)?
Oh and these commercials get worse and worse every year. None of them hold a candle to the old "cat ranchers" classic from several years ago.
