Bed Commercials


I think some of these marketing guys have gone the wrong way with bed mattress commercials. These commercials always feature a couple peacefully sleeping, usually spooning. The idea is that this bed is so comfortable that you can't help but pass out. Thats only one aspect of it all though. Sex sells right? Why not have a commercial that begins with some couple laying around post sex and all sweaty. I'd buy a fucking mattress for that shit.

And heres a couple of observations that they include which I think are entirely fallacious.

No one smiles in their sleep, most of the time you sleep with your mouth wide open while fluid leaks from you. These commercials also ignore the repulsive sounds people typically make in their sleep. No one wants to admit that they snore, but unless you sleep face down at night you snore (and I know a girl who actually did snore while sleeping face down, this contradicts all basic laws of physics).

Don't get Out Foxed by some marketing asshole who is trying convince you that your don't look disgusting in your sleep, cause you do.
