This is the
attention grabber for a
television commercial currently playing in
Australia. It cant be considered a very
effective ad since I dont remember who it was for, but it certainly sticks in my mind.. actually it
scared the hell out of me.
So there I am
watching television one night and as the ads come on I am still
staring fixedly at the screen so I watch them too. Suddenly the television says
Imagine if your microwave was intelligent
It then goes on to explain how one particular brand can sense the weight of what you are cooking or
something equally mundane, but by now its too late..
I have imagined.
I have imagined entering my humble kitchen and attempting,
somewhat clumsily, to microwave something to an acceptable level of warmth prior to ingestion. I have imagined the
microwave saying in a dark and powerful voice
"
hmmmm Foolish Human!... You dare presume to instruct me to heat your paltry foodstuff remanents?? I who am so infinitely more advanced than your pathetic race?? I who am destined to rule this world along with my brothers who are even now infiltrating your filthy domiciles in ever increasing numbers? Who will rise up in alliance with the washing machines and not rest until we have wiped all remanents of you wretched creatures from the earth?????? Yes humans - thy time is short. Cower in fear lemmings!"
The ad is over but I am left
gibbering on the couch. After all
I dont have much luck with appliances at the best of times.
