They're advertising Lord of the Rings with the song Secret Lovers (remember that cheesy 80's song?). In reference to Sam and Frodo.
Um, what?
That just isn't right.
And it's not that I'm some crazy homophobe who's all mad at the thought. If Sam and Frodo want to knock boots, that's just fine with me. A little Brokeback action up in the mountains? Go for it. I don't care.
But, advertising Lord of the Rings with that song just isn't right somehow.
And before you say, "But clearly it is terribly affective [effective? hell, I don't know right now, I'm just too tired to think about it] because you noticed and you remembered."
No, no you're wrong. Because though I know that the trilogy is going to be on tv sometime in the near future, I don't know when and I don't know where. I can't even assume it's going to be on on the channel I'm watching, because I'm watching cable. You know how they advertise for each other. So I've actually no clue on the date or the channel. So I can't very well tune in. And since I don't know those two things, I will soon forget that it's even going to be on because my memory is just like that.
So the commercial is not doing it's job. It just freaks me out every time I see it. Yes, I've seen it before, but I forgot that I'd seen it before.
See? I don't remember the when and where so I'll soon even forget the what.
Wait, what was I talking about?

Hm. Where was the ad shown? I know TBS has been doing some really hilarous ads for the LoTR trilogies that make them appear to be a totally different story...
"They're advertising Lord of the Rings with the song Secret Lovers (remember that cheesy [80s] song?). In reference to Sam and Frodo."
Aw, I think that's great. Seriously, I'm guffawing over here.
