dental plan--lisa needs braces

so i watch a lot of tv now (see previous posts) and one of the things that has been driving me crazy recently is the new crest ads. have you noticed that they refer to the broad array of cleansing and whitening products available as the "Crest Dental Plan"

What the Fuck?

Is this part of the new Bush plan of comprehensive health care? that a couple of whitening strips and an electric toothbrush are passed off as a dental plan. Well thank god as one of the millions of uninsured americans this new form of dental care is within my financial reach. well at least parts of it. i mean i couldn't go out and buy the whole shebang at once. well unless i get a lot of hours next week.



you can file the citi group "live richly" ad campaign under the same category. I can just see the conversation behind those ads. "hey guys, we're one of the most moraly bankrupt financial institutions in the world. maybe we should stop redlining, clearcutting the rainforests, investing in fossil fuels and suggesting to govenments that massacring guerilla movements would be good for their credit ratings. Nah, maybe instead we can just make a wacky, fun loving ad campaign about the true meaning of life."
