So, here's the latest television ad that is bugging me.
Guy's watching a ball-game on TB, baby crying off camera. He looks off, says "I'll be right there", slurps from the can of advertisement, eagerly resumes watching the game. Baby still crying. He looks off, says "Just a sec, honey", slurps and watches. Baby still crying. He looks off.
Suddenly his sense of duty kicks in and he goes to the crying baby. Turns out the baby is crying because it was just born, as we see the mother, doctors and nurses all huddled around the hospital bed. The mother (his wife we assume) smiles an understanding smile, as if to say, 'yep, that's the knucklehead I married!'. The final shot is of dad and swaddled baby, with dad telling baby a nuance of baseball.
Ha ha, so the guy was, like, watching the ball-game and drink product instead of participating in his child's birth. Ha ha, that's so 1982.
It doesn't work for me. Not in the least.
