I forget which financial company this ad is for, but some 65ish-year-old guy is IM'ing his wife from a hotel, and she's shocked that she had to click "65+" in the age box of some online registration.  And apparently that's what gets them thinking about saving for retirement?

"How long is plus?"
"For your mother it was 95."
"I wonder if we have enough for our plus?"

Stop saying PLUS!  Have you really never thought about retirement until now? Pssshhh; at least they'll get Social Security, which will be long gone by the time I retire! LOL

A lame ad all the way around...stereotypically dumb old people, and the 'no dialogue, just the sound of clacking keyboard' technique, accompanied by the 'IM sound effect'...because everybody leaves the sound effect turned on every time they send an instant message.
 This ad is 'stupid plus'.

Does she have her very own gun or is she good with poison?

Next time you all are broadsided by this commercial (no loud and annoying intro cluing you in to the dire need to find the remote posthaste) notice how quickly the person on the other end posts two long entries faster than any human being could possibly type. And the guy uses the delete key to erase and rewrite something that wasn't incorrect in the first place. That bugs me.

Can you imagine the dillweeds that approved this commercial? Was everyone in the boardroom on Lunesta? Didn't they watch it first? Is their boss 65+ and takes everything personally so no one spoke up and said the obvious?

"THIS SUCKS - I HATE IT"

More ad execs need to learn these very words.

If there were only a pill that made you say only "THIS SUCKS - I HATE IT".
We could market it in such a way that execs would step over each to ingest it.
It would be sweet irony that a pharma commercial brings down all commercials.
