What Saves You

[Sundae]

I see countless adverts on television that so obviously aren't aimed at me. For example the Febreeze ad that features a dog - nope, no dog smell to cover up in my flat. I bought Febreeze because my sofa had been in storage.

Just because you see it, doesn't mean it is targeted to appeal to you.

I didn't say it was targeted to appeal to me, I said it was targeted for me to see it.

But what would be the point of a sign that no one could see?

There would be no point to a sign that nobody could see.

And the point of a sign that can be seen is for it to be seen by those who can see it.

But what made you think it would get rid of that storage smell? Well if it works for doggie smells.....
