Buyer's guide and something I'd purchase

Answers from my previous post:

  • Moen disqualification: I see no conceivable reason to use a faucet extension as shown in the ad. There may be good uses for it, but this one just shows another helpless consumer wrestling out of a blanket. Regardless of the quality and actual benefits of the faucet, this presentation insults my intelligence. Won't buy it.
  • Kenmore disqualification: "Why use those heavy pitchers...?" This line betrays the picture of health in several ways: Pur water filtration, healthy diet (apple and non-Kool-Aid), and the other line of copy, "Ideas for the good life." Why would a family who cares about such things spend a couple of thousand dollars, at least in part, to avoid lifting a "heavy pitcher"? This isn't a valid perk. Won't buy it.
More compelling? This pork. I'd buy it, because it really is like bowling. (Click image to read text.)

Not sure how the pork and bowling go together... Maybe I need to read the fine print on the ad.
Or, I can join you and Nancy on the pork league and find out.

Reading the fine print is a pre-requisite, Brad, not only to understand the ad, but also to join our pork league!

(Click on the ad for a larger view. I think it's good copy.)
