A while back I talked about the recurring couples you see in TV commercials, with special emphasis on the couple in the Rogers ads. Well now I'm confused because the latest ad has a couple that features the same woman, but with another man. That sure was fast. Why did she leave the other guy? I hope it wasn't because she was suspicious of him working late; we know he was really just watching soccer on his coworker's laptop.
The focus of the new ad is that the new hubby has non-masculine tastes in television. Because if you can't show men in commercials as stupid, you have to at least make them effeminate. And if him watching ice dancing is too subtle, they even have him protest his masculinity by mentioning TV shows about beards. Ooh, what edgy humour.
