Special K Cinnamon Pecan
sjbooher: This ad is weird. So she has the power to freeze time, and she uses it to eat cereal? And if you are fat, does it really cause problems with your top button? Wouldn’t it be the button by your stomach? And the way she opens her blouse at the end is odd, too. I don’t get it. At least she’s hot and the cereal looks appetizing. C-.
jtherkal: What are you watching that this is on? Oprah? This is a commercial I would never take notice of, let alone take the time to find on YouTube and write a review about. I’m obviously not the target (although I am getting a bit of a belly), but even if I was, this is pretty bland. I can’t fail it, but there’s nothing good about it–save the suggestive tug at the blouse. D.
sjbooher: The interesting part is, that all of these cereal, yogurt, etc. ads you seeing reviewed came from a broadcast of the World Poker Tour on the GSN. Seems to me they aren’t selling targeted ad space, but instead just general ad space for their network. Unless there is a secret brigade of underground housewife poker players!

Haha I didn’t quite follow at first, having seen one of the others in the campaign, where the woman walks by the candy store with the same power to freeze time. So while watching this one, I kind of assumed the button was actually a butterscotch candy or something. That, you know, came out from under her arm. Delicious.

and what’s that about leaving the tap water running in the background for no apparent reason? Haven’t they heard about the world water shortage?
