Why is that Dog wearing a Bikini and holding a harpoon???

23 January 2010

Hey humans! Your doggy friend Rocky here!

I wonder right now what you are thinking about my subject line for this blog. Are you still picturing yours truly in a teeny weeny itsty bitsy yellow polka dot bikini standing on some exotic beach with a large whale-hunting tool in one paw?  If so, you’re a weirdo.

If not, it may be because you would just rather not think about that image at all.  And that may or may not be because the idea is too ludicrous for you to conjure up in your mind. You’re a self-respecting human for god’s sake. You think logically, behave rationally, and wash your hands after using the rest-room (hopefully). 

Well, it is a silly image, isn’t it? I mean, dogs don’t wear bikinis to the beach. We go natural. And we certainly don’t hunt for whales (not because we can’t mind you, just because we choose not to partake in such savagery). 

But did you realize that you actually see countless equally ridiculous images daily and they are presented to you by sources who don’t just hope that you will believe in their validity, they are staking their livelihood on the fact that you will get duped.

What am I talking about?

Advertisers. That’s right. Imagine it’s not yours truly in the bikini now; imagine it is Angelina Jolie instead. Now, instead of being disturbed or just laughing hysterically, you become intrigued with the image. A beautiful woman in a yellow bikini is nothing to laugh at. Suddenly, whale-hunting seems less savage and more…sexy. That’s right. I said it. You may still not want to hunt whales, but you might want to mention in your online dating profile that you USED to hunt them in college…And in a few months when the latest issue of “Mouge” magazine hits the stands with an editorial spread depicting gorgeous models in captain Ahab attire you may find yourself drooling over Prada sailor suits.

Okay, I know that I am stretching it a bit here. We are all intelligent people and dogs, right? We know that it is going to take more to start a whale-hunting trend than to place a harpoon in the hands of a sexy lady, right? ………………..hhhhhmmmm………………………maybe not!

The truth is that advertisers have made millions off of campaigns that were just as ridiculous and that advocated worse things than whale-hunting.

Don’t feel bad if you have fallen for one of those campaigns before. Don’t pretend that you haven’t ever either because that just makes you pretentious and annoying.

The truth is that advertisers have made millions of dollars on non-useful, and non-sexy things by placing them in the hands or on the bodies of sexy women and men. And it is not just sex that sells. Advertisers make a killing out of cleverly placed and produced adds that are meant to make you believe in connections between their products and certain feelings like happiness and contentment and love, and certain phenomenon like the attainment of success and physical health and therefore beauty, that DO NOT actually exist.

Think about it, Think about it cause if you don’t think about it then you will be thinking about the first image that I gave you. Me, in a bikini, with a harpoon.  Yeah. I thought you’d choose the latter.
