Commercials for Stoners

I've been watching a lot of TV lately. Part of it is homework for the writing class, but mostly I just don't feel like thinking when I get home from work or pilates class.

With TV comes commercials. I hate how commercials make things look better than they really are. There are tons of examples of this, but right now, the one that comes to mind is the DiGiorno/Toll House cookie campaign.

What the fuck?!

These commercials are targeting one group and one group only--stoners. There really is no logical reason to package the two together. I've never thought: Damn, I'm really craving a pizza right now. While I'm at it, I think I'm gonna get some chocolate chip cookies too...except for when I was high.
