A guy eating dog poop? - Ameriquest Commercial

I was surfing on the internet today, trying to find a funny commercial, and I found alright! It is a bit of an old commercial, but it's still funny if you ask me. This commercial is from the mortgage company Ameriquest, the slogan they used in their commercials was: "Don't judge too quickly, we won't". What they created were some really funny commercials, there are a lot of them. All of them are very short and straight to the point, which makes them very funny. The one I found hilarious was this one:


In this commercial you see a guy with his dog, just sitting in the park and enjoying the weather. Deciding that it is time to go home he starts to gather his things and stands up. The dog then sees another dog and gets excited, pulling the guy forwards. The guy then drops his chocolate brownie (or whatever chocolaty thing it is), it lands behind the dog. An elderly woman and her granddaughter walk on by and they see the two dogs. Our guy pick up his brownie with a paper, making it seems like he is picking up the dog's poop. He cleans it up a bit and start to eat it. The disgust is obvious on the faces of the elderly woman and her granddaughter. The guy is happy with his brownie, then he realizes what it must seem like to the elderly woman. He quickly tries to sign to them that this is not what it seems! The emotions that the commercial transfers to us, the viewers, are obvious. We sit on our couch with a great big smile on our face. That is what I love about this commercial is all the emotions and the body language, there are no conversations, the entire story is told with emotions. What can I say, strong commercial, strong message, and a very good looking brownie.

Misinterpretations


Emotions don't only come to show when we talk to someone, I could be transferring a lot of emotions right now through writing. I am sure that you all have had moments where you text someone and that you get an unexpected reaction in return. This means that the other person has misinterpreted your message and did not get the emotion you were trying to transfer. The internet is filled with mistakes like this. I will show you one I thought was hilarious:

Relationships - <p>Babe <3333Hey... sorry but its not working anymore.. im sorry :'(<br>WHAT!!!!!!!<br>I F***ING HATE YOU... I HOPE YOU DIE!!!!! BRAKING UP WITH ME OVER THE DAMN PHONE!! PUSSY.... I F****D YOUR COUSIN AND BROTHER.... <br>WTF??? IM not braking up with you!!! im talking about your Ipod? i doesnt wana work?<br>um..oh?<br>WTF!!!!! YOU BANGED MY COUSIN AND BROTHER?</p>

Misinterpretation can happen quickly and bring along a lot of trouble. So read something at least twice before you react like this, or ask what he meant. In this case, the relationship might have been saved if she had just asked: "What do you mean?"

Young emotions


The first emotion I can remember is sadness. This might sound very dark and grim, but it's mainly because I was a clumsy kid. I fell very often and got injured (not badly), the little drama-queen in me couldn’t stop crying! I just had to have a towel that covered my wound so I didn't have to see it! Whenever I would see it again I started crying. Touching it was forbidden and talking about it, do you really want to go there? I remember it very vividly, I was about five years old and I was playing outside, on the grass, but on the end of the soft grass was a stone path. I tripped and fell on the stone path, ripping open my knee. I hopped on home and when I saw my mother I started crying so bad! I sat against the wall for at least an hour holding my knee with a towel to cover the wound. No one was allowed to touch it, mention it or see it, not even me. It is a bit funny when I think about it now, and I have to admit I still am a drama-queen every now and again. What can I say, I am a very emotional person.
