Brad Pitt's Pringles
Remember a while back when Brad Pitt was spouting about how his kids don't want material goods because he doesn't let them watch TV aimed at kids?
The kids don’t ask for big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic. When they do see that stuff is when they start asking for the toys, so we figure if they don’t see them they won’t know they’re there.Well la-de-flippin-da. My kids asked for toys they saw on TV too. I said no. That was the end of that. Ta-dah! (It does bring up this question, however...how much money did the sales of Kung Fu Panda merchandise, which includes toys, make for Brad and Angelina? For that matter, what about Tomb Raider? During which shows do those ads air? "Oh, my kids don't ask for material goods, but since you allow your kids to rot their brains out with commercial children's television, won't you go support our child-hoarding lifestyle by buying a few of my live-in-lover's action figures which are advertised during those children's programming? Kthx!") But I do have to wonder if the Jolie-Pitt brood ask for Pringles? Anybody remember this little ad? Wonder during which shows this pitch for Pringles was shown?
