I feel dirty linking this video, but some of you may have been lucky enough not to have seen it to this point and writing is all about context, so here it is. Listen, Dove. I like your soap well enough. Irish Spring is my personal favourite, but my mom’s house has been a Dove …
Commercials drive me friggin nuts! Just heard one for Laker beer that said “You deserve an easy drinking beer for a hard working price.” What?
