Comm 229: The new Prilosec Commercial

I was watching television the other day when the new Prilosec OTC commercial came on. You know the one, it's all about heart burn and how one pill a day will make everything just fine. But, the kicker about this commercial is the spokeswoman is talking about how she needed it while she was dating, because she kept getting heartburn. At the end of the commercial, she talks about how Prilosec helped her snag husband number 2.
Now, that last bit is what gets me. Television can be seen as a kind of extension of real life, not an accurate extension, but an extension none the less. This commercial needs to relate to middle aged women who may need to take heartburn medicine. I think that it's horrible that these middle aged women are hunting around for husband number 2. What does that tell you about divorce and remarriage? A person watching this commercial is more likely to associate with this woman who is remarried than with a woman who has been with her husband for years...
