Adverts

I think the statistic in America is that one out of every three commercials ("adverts" in the UK) is a car commercial. Here it seems like one out of every three adverts contains some sort of animation of something that should not have been anthropomorphized. Case in point, I recently had a chance to catch up on some television (i.e. TiVoed erpisodes of The Daily Show) and as I sped through the adverts I caught a) animated baked beans (cuz you know they so lend themselves to humanization), animated electrical outlets and animated toilet bacteria (the last of which was impetus for this blog post....I mean, toilet bacteria, really? Yeesh.).
