As is almost always the case, Bob Ross was playing on one of my monitors, and he got interrupted by the following advertisement:
I found myself quite interested in the ad, not just because my MILF-Meter broke, but also because of the spokesmodel’s incessant, almost manic, use of hand gestures.
But, since I’m somewhat of a science dork, I found the declaration that our planet was the only one “blessed” (which she said with her hands in a prayer-like clasp) with water to be irksome. The statement simply isn’t true. Mars has water, and even our own moon has a little. But, far more than this, other moons in our solar system have a staggering amount of water, particularly considering the water ratio compared to the body itself:
Of course, Europa and Titan aren’t planets, per se, but – – I dunno – – it just got a little under my skin. Advertisements are deceptive enough; there’s no need to misstate simple facts as well.
