My sister uses this hippie cat litter that’s good for the environment and stuff; it’s called: “World’s Best Cat Litter”. I’ve seen the ad for it on the cable news stations, where ad space is cheap because their programming is so stupid and lame. (They have lots of those “Not available in stores” {because nobody would buy it!} ads on those channels as well, which also speaks to the quality of their programming: Only super-late-night network timeslots have advertising that lame!)
Anyway, this ad is really funny! They have a team of spokespeople: a man and a woman, and since men are not considered politically-correct enough, and because the stereotype is for chicks to have all the cats as pets, the woman does all the talking. (So I guess the man is just there for show so as not to be too sexist: that’s very sensitive of them. I would have been mad otherwise!) Anyway, so the woman lady hypes up the eco-friendly cat-excrement-receptacle filler, and the big selling point is that it doesn’t smell bad. And just to prove their point and drive it into our heads like a railroad spike, they have a segment where the woman takes a small bowl with what is purporting to be a clump of the litter soaked in cat piss (we don’t actually get to see the cat pee on/in it, so they could be lying. But then again, I guess these days they could get Rhythm & Hues to do it with CGI anyway and we’d never know the difference, so who cares!), and takes it into a testing room where a panel of cat-owner-impersonators sniffs it and all concur that it reeketh not of the cat urine. Awesome! (But they do not do that test with kitty poop, because that does not work! Cat poop is just as stinky in this hippie stuff as it is in any other kitty litter! I know from experience!)
But then comes the part of the commercial that’s so great, I couldn’t get it out of my head! The woman says that it works so well and is so environmentally-friendly because it’s made out of 100%, all-natural corn; and then they eat it! Well, if I were that man, just for making me stand there and never get to say anything, I would get revenge by saying: “Oh, eew! That was the part the cat went to the bathroom on!” And then they’d both try to spit it all out and make: “Pa-tooie!” sound-effects over and over again. And that would be the most fun of all!
They also should run this spot around the world (it’s on YouTube, so that should help), and rub it in that America has so much extra corn, we let our cats poop all over it while the rest of the world is starving! (That should make people around the world love America again, right?) Then they could say: “Nyah, nyah! We don’t care about the planet anyway, just cats!” Or, maybe they just hate people like so many other environmentalists and animal-rights activists do. But advertising that they’re making cat litter from corn when there is a food shortage and droughts everywhere doesn’t make them seem all that “eco-friendly” to me. But it does work well as cat litter: I’ll give them that much!
By the way, my sister (who buys this cat litter) didn’t believe me when I said they ate it in the ad; but here’s the commercial, just to prove it:
