I recently spent the evening at the Victoria Symphony (wow, they are good!)—enjoying the fine, orchestral ambiance when I was pulled out of my splendor by a strong, unpleasant scent: the unquestionable smell of baby powder masked over the familiar stench of what lay beneath.
Now I have no problem with the aged, but it seems that in the sea of white hair all around me, someone was going to the bathroom, while enjoying the sweet sounds of the string quartet. The Depends people should go back to their story boards and take a page from my little nightmare for their next commercial:
Cut-to woman at the symphony, soiling her shorts while her companion
falls asleep on her shoulder—snoring.
WOMAN
(narration)
Now I can enjoy a night out on the town with my friends,
knowing that my Depends will always be there for me—no matter the venue.
Cut-to slogan on screen
SLOGAN
Depends - Wear Them, Use Them.
