An open letter to Woolite

I hate you. I know that hate is a strong word, but in this case it is appropriate. See I have a problem with your new product “the pod”.

It isn’t really so much the product as it is that infernal advertisement for the darn thing! Not only are the actors the poorest I have ever seen but the tag line you use is becoming an irritant. “Squeeze, Rub, Groom, and done”! They repeat this instruction several times throughout your ad apparently assuming that I am a blithering idiot who can’t get it the first time. I am sure that someone in the firm you hired must really not like you either because the only thing this ad has done for me is make me stay as far away from your product as possible. All of your products, I do not want to financially enable you to carry this ad for very long.

As well as being annoying there is also a problem with the whole Squeeze, Rub, Groom, and Done concept. See I have a Berber carpet. You can’t run that stupid little comb over my carpet and accomplish anything except maybe ruining that spot on it or maybe straining your wrist trying to drag the comb through the Berber! So what about us Berber owners Woolite? What about us? I am tempted to bring in one of those ACLU lawyers to sue your butts for discriminating against Berber!

In closing I have a little something I would like you to do. Squeeze, Rub, and Groom THIS! I would be more explanatory but this is a family friendly site after all.

    I never saw that advertisement (one more reason not to watch TV I’d guess…) but PD goes insane when an ad for 1-800-MY LEMON comes on the radio station he listens to. I have to admit it, it is way past annoying, bordering on “able-to-drive-one-bonkers.”
    DOWN WITH BERBER DISCRIMINATION!!!
