Do you believe in commercial savants?

Did you just make that up?

Yes, yes I did.

What’s bothering you? Give it to me quick.

How is it that all the local commercials are incredibly good about being bad? I would think it would be hard to get so many things so wrong.

Be specific.

Okay it’s the kids. How do people hundreds of thousands of miles away manage to create the same commercial where the kids can’t act and can be hardly understood?

You hate kids.

No, I don’t I think they are brilliant. The way they look spooked and distracted. The way the mumble their lines with the wrong timing. It’s like the didn’t even try a second take.

So you love the kids?

It takes a genius to come up with that stuff.

It’s so bad it’s good?

Commercial savants.
