For
a while now, Clorox has been using an ad campaign revolving around a so-called
“accidental housewife”. Her job entails giving cleaning tips to other women who
have to clean up after their slovenly men, but that’s unimportant. I’m just
wondering how a woman becomes a housewife accidentally. Since I first heard the
commercial, I just assumed that it meant she got completely sloshed one night
in Vegas and ended up with some fat trucker named Bubba. Recently, though, an
idea struck me that made me question Clorox’s integrity. What if the reason she
became a housewife accidentally was because she was sacked from her old job, and
the shock damaged her mind so severely that she cannot acquire a new job? Now,
Clorox is using her by throwing that
embarrassment back into her face with every commercial. They should be ashamed
of themselves. I’ve heard this “Julie” on her commercials, and she clearly had
a nervous breakdown and is trying to repress it. The way she’s always happy and
laughing at bad puns while she’s cleaning clearly shows that she is unhinged.
Nobody enjoys cleaning. Not even people who enjoy cleaning enjoy cleaning. They
just say they enjoy cleaning so they can be different. Let’s also not forget
her little catchphrase “saving your sanity and manicure one tip at time.” She
says right there that she is trying to save your
sanity. She knows the pain of her own madness and doesn’t want it to spread.
For shame, Clorox. For shame!

Haha, I don't have TV, so I hadn't heard of these commercials, but I can see how a woman who likes cleaning might seem a bit out of touch...
