Can A Commercial Make Me Dumber?

After watching the Nature Made Vitamin commercials, I am going to have to say yes. Wow. If you have seen them, you know what I mean. If you don't and you see the first two seconds, which consist of a guy studying the history of vitamins, turn it off, change the channel, actually get up off the couch and not face or listen to the television for the next 30 seconds. Trust me, it will save your life.

I don't think, actually I know, I would not be in that commercial as the historian who studies the history of vitamins. Is there a more degrading job than picking up the poop horses leave behind in parades? Apparently so. I mean come on, look at what he had to wear. Either they paid that actor a healthy sum of money or he has no self respect at all. It's probably the latter, because I haven't even heard about Nature Made until I saw that commercial.

I guess the commercial served its purpose, though, as I am talking about the product now. I have said "that's the dumbest commercial I have seen" many times. But this time, I am right. There is no possible way this can be out stupid-ed. Even by the Geico cavemen.
