"wanna get away?"
have you seen these southwest airlines commercials? one of the latest features a couple hosting another couple for dinner, awaiting the setup of the host couple inflicting a sales spiel upon the guests to deliver the punchline "wanna get away?" absolutely brilliant campaign, each spot as funny as and memorable as the last.
a new favourite of mine is the one where a statuesque black woman pulling a black bag behind her is suddenly besieged with a contact lens issue. her eyes roll back a bit as she fumbles to get the contact back in place before staggering blind into the bathroom. after a moment with the mirror, she corrects the issue. and then a toilet flushes. a man slowly eases toward the next sink from her, all the while staring at her. she aghastedly and embarassedly looks around to find herself surrounded by men in, of course, the men's room. "wanna get away?"
awesome.
then it struck me. she's pulling a bag behind her, one of those sleek, flight attendant looking suitcases, through what looks strikingly like, well, an airport when her contact freaked out. "wanna get away?"
seems to me she's either already going 'away,' or she's returning from 'away,' so she might just 'wanna get home, like, now.'
in other news, the red sox are now down 4-0 to the twins going to the bottom of the 2nd. i've given up on visions of postseason glory, but it's still fun watching them play for the most part. not as fun as watching them in 1st place, but it's a beautiful game to watch anyway. plus i still gotta love these guys.
