A Note About Commercials

One may argue that given the fact that we have named our boys with rather common names, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

For people who only get one network station and a bunch of foreign language news channels, we watch an obscene amount of TV. Consequently, I have seen quite a few commercials lately. I noticed something odd - there are quite a few commercials on that use our names. Mostly for socially acceptable items/stores. Except for my name!

Name Product/Store

Jason Miller REI

Ben Triaminic strips

Irene SCALPACIN

Seriously!?! Seriously!?!

I can't ever find my name on cute mugs or key chains, but apparently it can be used to sell a liquid that helps with scalp itch. Yuck.
