SunSetter Awning Jealous Neighbor Ad

I saw an ad for SunSetter amnings again last night (they're only on late at night on cable stations, I think). They've been running the same two ads for years now, and this one I saw last night made me think of the other ad. In this other spot, some lady is staring angrily through her blinds out at her neighbors, and she's mad at them for enjoying their patio. Apparently, she only likes to see other people miserable. But unfortunately, her husband misunderstands her and just gets the awning brochure. No wonder so many marriages end in divorce: people don't understand each other! But she doesn't really want an awning, she just wants to ruin her neighbors' enjoyment of their awning!

This woman's husband could save a lot of money (and his marriage, too) if he were more alert to his wife's needs. She doesn't need to be happy herself: she simply needs to prevent others around her from being happy. (There are actually people who are really like this, unfortunately!) And these ads for the SunSetter awnings make it absolutely clear why the awnings make life so enjoyable: they keep the sun off of your patio so it stays cool in clear weather, and it keeps your patio dry in rainy weather. So right there is the exact instruction manual for how this woman's husband can ruin their neighbors' patio experience, and finally make his wife happy and contented.

So what he needs to do is this: simply set up a sprinkler in their yard which sprays water horizontally into their neighbors' patio for rainy days (so they'll get wet from another direction), and set up a mirror on their home so that the sun will reflect off of the mirror and directly onto their neighbors' patio (so they'll get cooked in the sweltering sun despite having shade from the awning). If he does these things, his neighbors will no longer be able to enjoy their patio, and his wife will finally be happy. And if they bring the mirror and the sprinkler into the garage every night, their neighbors can never steal or break them, and they'll always be able to ruin their neighbors' patio fun. (Maybe some business that depends on people staying indoors, like video games, or a business that requires people to want to leave their homes, like a restaurant, could make ads showing how to ruin peoples' patio fun.)

Here's the jealous neighbor ad for the awning:
