I often fall asleep in front of the television and wake up at some ungodly hour with what appears to be an advert that then runs on for hours. In my waking haze I get drawn into these advert films and keep thinking that I need one of "those". It is disconcerting to find out that these adverts actually work. Subliminally they must worm their way into the waking brain and lodge there, coming to the fore at odd times. As I stand in the shower it suddenly dawns on me that I need a steam cleaner or I'm running down the canal and suddenly have the urge to buy a paint tool that Tommy from the TV said was good. He has an honest face so it must be.
The worst one happened on Sunday morning. I fell asleep very early on the Saturday night and awoke to lots of scantily clad women. My first thought was that I must have rolled over on the remote control and changed channel but no, it was one of those advert films. This one was about the Ah!Bra. More comfortable than a conventional bra and very cost effective as you can get 3 (black, white and nude....whatever that is) for £59.99 including P+P! What a bargain. In my half sleeping state I was all set to call them and buy them there and then until it dawned on me that I'm a bloke.
The power of advertising!
