OH HAI. Have we met? Oh, we have? Still, let me extol my virtues to you WITH MAXIMUM OBNOXIOUSNESS.
Now, when I say that my wife watched a TV program on her laptop, I mean she watched an entire three seasons' worth of that one show in a row. When you do the math that means that I heard that commercial approximately 600 million times over the course of two days.
I am a good husband, so I kept the fact that every time I heard that ad I was one step closer to madness to myself, so I kept my mouth shut*. (I may have occasionally claimed to want to do horrible things to the A&H management for their decision.) However, I decided to do the next best thing possible and, as a joke, buy her a Spinbrush for a stocking stuffer for Christmas. That'll show 'em!
Well, it turns out that my well-received joke wasn't so much after all; my wife reports that it's actually a legitimately good product. I'm not telling the fine folks at Arm & Hammer that, of course; while it would be nice to report a positive customer experience, I also don't want to encourage a commercial that I still occasionally hear in my nightmares.
*Evidence may indicate that this last part is not true.
