The Poo Trap is a contraption that's supposed to make curbing your dog as easy as pulling a plastic bag off your dog's ass.
Yeah.
The commercial doesn't mention how one gets the harness on the dog or -- even more interesting -- how one attaches the plastic bag over the dog's butt hole without being torn to shreds by the poor dog.
I do like the tagline, though: No poops, No oops.

I think other countries have more entertaining ads than the U.S. The reason? Most American consumers hate advertising. And they mostly try to avoid it.
As a result, we don't see enough charming ads like this one in the States...
If we want to get cat owners' attention to tell them about a sale on cat food, we have to scream SALE and use star bursts and coupons bordered with dotted lines. Yuck.
I genuinely love cats. All cats. Even the cranky, hissing/biting ones.
I spoil our three cats rotten. But I draw the line at buying expensive cat food. If strays can live on puddle water and dirty rats and birds (birds are very dirty, too, you know), my cats can eat generic cat food.
I am, apparently, not a 'Sheba woman.'
Sheba premium cat food is currently filming a commercial in Britain with a $2 million (!) budget. The commercial is targeting women who believe in "free-spirited feline mysticism," according to a Sheba spokesperson.
Sheba's ad agency, AMV BBDO, adds, "The Sheba woman identifies with the free-spiritedness and independence of her pet." And presumably prefers to buy expensive cat food.
I can't speak for the Sheba woman but I can tell you this: if my cats could read the above two paragraphs, they'd laugh themselves silly.

The declassification of Pluto as a planet has spawned many clever concepts, but few as endearing as this print ad for dog food.
Surprisingly, Disney hasn't done much with Pluto's new status as a dwarf planet other than releasing this cornball yet probably appropriate "response" from the Seven Dwarfs:
"Although we think it's Dopey that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people Grumpy and others just Sleepy, we are not Bashful in saying we would be Happy is Disney's Pluto would join us as an eighth dwarf. We think this is just what the Doc ordered and is nothing to Sneeze at."
And an equally hokey response from Mickey Mouse:
"I think the whole thing is goofy... Pluto has never been interested in astronomy before, other than maybe an occasional howl at the moon."
You may have to look a little more closely at this print ad to get it. The ad was created by ad agency Grey Worldwide South Africa.
