Hello Fellow Travelers!
I had something cancer-related to talk about; "Death: Tragedy? Or the Last Diet You'll Ever Be On?" And then I saw this, many times, a decent-looking guy who looks like an unmade bed advertising a website (Trivago) over and over. On many different channels. And because I had a brain tumor that required brain surgery (Thank you, HA!), I was forced to watch a few views of this maddening commercial (Trivago) that was ten kinds of wrong from the get-go, and with repeated viewings just got wronger. Now when I see the name (Trivago!) I always find something new to hate.
It isn't just the "pitchman" (and yes, I'm using air quotes in a sarcastic way) is "costumed" in the drabbest, most ill-fitting shirt and jeans I've seen in a while. You wouldn't let this guy recycle your cans let alone rely on him for vacation advice. It offends me personally that some company spent millions of dollars to hire some goodlooking guy take precious minutes of my life by being aggressively unnappealing and offering me unsolicited advice on where to spend discretionary income. Puhleeze!
I have a nephew in England whose posting videos of civil unrest (Way To Go! Liam!) (and himself up to his ankles in the fray that he filmed and posted) and I'm peeved at this Trivago dude. I mean really affronted, like I'll make it a quest to loudly and repeatedly dissuade anyone who can read from ever using Trivago! Sounds like Key Largo, not really, though. It isn't just that he's bow-legged and unshaven. It's all that AND he looks like he just rolled out of bed. What is it exactly that this fellow is supposed to inspire us to go out and buy? Cuz I'm not inspired! And I'm not buying! Let's break it down. There's nothing wrong here a decent suit and a tie wouldn't fix.
He's a good-enough looking guy, and maybe that was the problem; maybe he showed up and he was too good looking so the makeup people went too far the other way and now he looks like he needs a bath and a good home. I'm not sure but I think he was peddling vacations! I need a vacation like I need a hole in the head. OK, another one. OK, I just checked and it's OK to hate them, they aren't that great a deal (Trivago) rhymes with Iago.
PS- I just learned that O.J. Simpson is going on a hunger strike. I have absolutely nothing to add to that.
