KITTIES!

The second one should be creepy, but it doesn't feel that way to me.

The first ad is adorable. It doesn't even mention that the Bissell won't freak out the cat like the vacuum probably would or that it will save on having to replace vacuum bags as often. The next time I buy a Bissell sweeper, I want one with that kind of handle. The ones we had before, the handles keep breaking off at the base of the ones where the handle is just stuck in the middle because all the stress is focused on one place.

I agree that the second one should be creepy, but isn't. What a weird way to sell molybdenum, though. Not that I can think of a better way to sell molybdenum. Climax Molybdenum--I'll bet the employees got tired of the jokes.

They probably spelled it that way so that people would know how to pronounce it. I used to say "Molly B. Dennum," like it was a girl's name.

I love the cheerful kitty in the first ad! And the "pleasantly plump" woman! It reminds me of some book illustrations - maybe Mary Poppins or Mrs. Piggle Wiggle?

james thurber's short stories and poetry were illustrated by the same artist, i do believe (or the same style anyway).

i like that she just looks like a middle aged, middle class woman. :)

Molybdenum! Without you, we'd have neither Data the android nor Crow T. Robot.
