Commercials

Do you ever sit and think about the people that come up with commercials? I picture a bunch of marketing people in power suits hanging around a big oval table (think Mad Men), just shooting ideas back and forth until someone has a 'Eureka' moment (which used to be my uncle's nickname for me, btw). And what I think about is, who actually thought some of these things were good ideas? Like, "Yeah, let's create this really creepy animated Chester Cheetah to sell Cheetos! We'll make millions!" Or you'll just make me really uncomfortable whenever I see him. But clearly I remember the commercials well enough to complain about them, so I guess they've done part of their job. And the creepy commercials haven't made Cheetos less delicious.
