is this why i don't have cable?

i caught a bite to eat in a place that had some t.v.s playing and a condom commercial came on the screen. in it the couple, who were clothed and standing side by side a foot apart, were so amazed by the product (clothed?! side by side?!) that their heads exploded into flame. yeah, these condoms are that good. (whatever)

then i noticed at the bottom of the screen the word "simulation".

what?! is there really someone out there who would see these flaming heads and think that this is what actually happens when you use this brand of condoms? because it's either that or the advertising world thinks were just that stupid. i'm speechless.

i've also noticed that foreign cities look more foreign in movies than they do in real life. and t. seems to see things in hand-to-hand fight scenes that are opaque to me; i see it in her eyes when she watches them. she's working late tonight finishing up a SAN installation post-work-hours. sexy. ;)

It may have been some kind of twisted humor. Never seen this ad, but I think the word "simulation" affixed to something obviously impossible is a nice joke.
