Does that ad bother anyone else?

Posted on February 13, 2007 by Michele

Is it just me, or does that cell phone television ad for Valentine’s Day get under anyone else’s skin?

I mean, here’s this guy sitting at his kitchen table making his sweetie a handmade Valentine with glitter, lace and his special touches. His “sweetie” greets him at the door, opens his offering of love and searches the handmade envelope for her real “gift”. Finding none she slams the door in his face and then the announcer tells us he should have gotten her their cell phone.

Every time I saw that ad all I could think of was “Wow, what a witch!” What a special guy to make his sweetie a hand-made personalized Valentine. How romantic! Any bloke can buy something, making something is truly special gift. One day I hope my sweetie will give me such a lovely gift.

Cell phone for Valentine’s Day? – how romantic.

Note to any future Valentine of mine, it’s the thought that counts, despite what Madison Avenue says.

Blog About Crafts

Back in 2006, when this site was launched, there was a gal who loved to help other artists and crafters build their business. She had several websites, including this one, dedicated to that endeavor. She helped them fly, while she only dabbled. Finally, she has joined them in pursuing her own artistic endeavors which can be found at Michele Tway Mixed Media & Fiber Art.
