frameofmind6 LOL -- okay, so there's this new constipation medicine out there that is very unfortunately named "Senecot-S." Why unfortunate? Because twice now I've been minding my own business putting away laundry or sorting receipts with the TV on in the background, when I find myself looking up in confusion, because it sounds like the announcer has just advertised a constipation medicine called "Senecot Ass Tablets"... (*grin*)
Seriously, didn't anybody in the sound booth notice this when they were recording? If they had just dropped the word "tablets" at the end it probably would have been fine -- you'd hear the "S" as part of the name, not a separate word. And it's been twice now that it has caught my ear when I wasn't listening for it, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just a fluke...
Sometimes you wonder who's double-checking these things. Like that Head-On commercial you see sometimes with this woman in a frumpy sweatshirt talking about how great and soothing the product is when she has a headache -- and they've got this light shining from directly behind her so that all of the little flyaway strands in her hair are lit up like Christmas tree lights. She looks like she's just stuck her finger in a light socket. Whose idea was that...? (*sigh*)
