While I wouldn't go as far as forever, I'd agree with noticeably as of late. Reality has been anteing it up against satire to the point where even Satire goes,' dude...seriously...seriously...dude.'
Is it just me though, in the context of the ad 2 things actually pops out more to me than washing cooter= get ca$h money bonus.
point 2: "just as important, be sure to eat a healthy breakfast".
I'm all for better and healthier eating, but that phrase I usually associate with children's breakfast cereal. That or dieting products.
point 5: "bring quotes from higher ups to the meeting, such as, 'great job on the XXX project! You made me look good."
Ok maybe it's my juvenile mind, but really? 'XXX? Especially for this product? Was 'such and such' project out to lunch that day? Maybe off eating a healthy breafast?
I dunno, it almost feels like seeing an anachronistic 50's ad in more modern typeface and styling , re-done by some team that thought 'Mad Men' was a video instruction manual on advertising.
