The woman above is very talented at conveying that she is miserable. If you're like me you'll probably watch this Verizon ad...ad infinitum today and the more I see it, the more her character makes me angry.

She doesn't want to be there, everyone there is beneath her and she derides them for trying to have fun. She doesn't even look all that impressed that JJ Watt is standing next to the punch bowl.

Are we supposed to sympathize with her and/or want to ignore our surroundings and responsibilities to watch football? This is a major advertising fumble in my opinion and I like the FOMOF series.

On the other hand this young lady is taking the world by storm. Instead of moping through unending cross-country bridesmaid drudgery in multi-colored taffeta gowns, she whole-heartedly embraces the celebration.

I've seen this commercial 50 times already, I'll see it another 50 times today and I'm sure I'll see something different every time. Well done Southwest! And no I'm not just saying this because I want a free drink when I fly to Vegas on Wednesday...not at all.
