From the wonderful folks who gave you the Popeil Pope Poacher™I"m the Virgin Mary and I approve of this message.

First off go and view the video here. We'll wait.

Hmmm. Hmmmmm...... Hmmm.

Cool drink of water
Such a sweet suprise
Taste so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Well, Swingin' on the front porch
Swingin' on the lawn
Swingin' where we want
Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left
And swingin' to the right
If I think about baseball
I'll swing all night, yeah
(yeah, yeah)
Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitc---

Oh. You're back.

Okay where were we? Oh yeah...

My first impression of the commercial/public service announcement/rare communication from God was that we are should treat women (at least the childbearing ones) with care because, even though they might be carrying precious cargo, many of them neglect to wear 'Baby on Board' (or possibly 'This End Up') t-shirts. Upon showing the video to the beauteous and knowledgeable mrs tbogg, she came to the same conclusion, and she should know because she's the proud owner of one of those uterus thingys. I'm assuming that the intent of the commercial is to encourage women to quit aborting their babies because, I don't know, one of them might be the next Savior and everyone pays when you're playing Jesus roulette.

So, did the ad miss its mark? Is the message garbled? And who at the advertising agency of Bartholomew, James, Andrew, Peter, Judas, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Matthew, Thaddeus & Simon didn't think through the connotations of equating a woman with a box? Did they run it past the College of Cardinals to see if it made white smoke?

I don't think so.

Next time they should spend the big bucks and get Peyton Manning.

That guy can sell anything.
