1770 Some ads are so cute

that you forget to notice what the product is! I always stop and watch the TV ad of the young woman explaining how to get-over/break-up with a boyfriend. Her final instruction is about deleting his phone number from her cell phone and answering in the affirmative when it asks if she really wants to dump him. You've seen it, right? She's sitting on a bed in dark jeans and laughing while she talks about it. It's really cute--but I have no recall if she is advertising a motel chain, a jeans brand or a phone service. However, it does remind me of this item that was circulating the internet last fall during the campaign.
