On TV Lately

Three things...

1) China in Box ads still crack me up every time. CHINNNNNA IN BOX! 

2) I am probably one of the last Bloggers about Brazil to mention this but there is a movement here to xixi no banho... meaning, pee in the shower, people! Save a flush. I am sorry to have yet another post about urine, perhaps I should add it as a category...

Please, please, please click on the link above (xixi no banho) as the ad is QUITE hilarious and worth watching...

Some people are really worked up about this and disgusted. I figure if it can keep even one person from peeing outside in the street, it gets a big thumb's up.  ;) Because you all know how I feel about THAT.

Some still images from the commercial (click above....)

 

3) What I find much more disturbing than the above propaganda are the commercials for made-by-Becel probiotic drinks. I see them and think: icky!  I picture  hydrogenated oil in a drink and want to puke. It may not contain this but the becel name just reminds me of margarine.... eek!  Can you tell I'm a butter or olive oil or virgin coconut oil kind of gal?

OMG, I saw the xixi no bano commercial a few nights ago for the first time and at first I didn't understand what was happening (since it was in Portuguese). I thought maybe they were saying, you shouldn't do that b/c it's not hygienic, then I realized what was going on and all I can say is OH MY. The commercial is hilarious, but EWWWW! I guess with 8 million or so residents though, if you saved 1 flush per person, per day....that's really saving a lot of water...

I am so glad someone else has seen this. I told a friend about it and she thought I was nuts. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but after seeing it again it was pretty obvious. Only in Brazil.
