Advertising and being on TV

I"ve had a couple thoughts lately. The first one is that advertising agencies don't actually watch or listen to their ads before sending them out. I think they get the money from the client, throw something together fast (because fast means good), and everyone is happy. But when you listen to some of the ads and start to think about them, they don't make sense.
For Example:
There is an ad on the radio for a eye doctor who does "crystal lense" (whatever that is) instead of lasik on eyes. The ad goes like this: "Hi. I'm Pat Summerall. Do you have over 40 eyes?"
So let me stop right there. I have 2 eyes. All the kids I went to school with have 2 eyes. Everyone in my family have 2 eyes. When did the aliens with over 40 eyes, or even those with 3-39 eyes, get to earth and how have them been hidden all this time? I don't think those huge ugly sunglasses Paris Hilton wears would cover 10 eyes much less 40.
Here is one more. The ad goes like this: "Men, do you urinate frequently? Or do you wake up to urinate?" Ok I will admit that when I was a baby I might have "urinated" while I was asleep. But this ad is targeted to "MEN". Now we men don't sit around talking about urinating in bed, but if I took a poll (I won't), all the men I know do wake up to urinate.

Since I am on the subject of media, under no circumstance should you or anyone you know who is not a professional media personality (and many of them also) talk to the media if they come to ask your opinion on something. Let me repeat, DO NOT TALK TO THE REPORTER. YOU WILL LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.
I will give you a fictious example and a couple real ones. See if you can figure out which is not real.
1. The police are handcuffing a family in a quiet neighborhood and taking them to jail. The reporter goes to the nieghbor who is standing outside watching to ask a few questions.
reporter "How long have you known Mr. Jones?"
neighbor "About 5 years now. Our kids have played and grown up together. What happened?"
reporter "It's believed Mr. Jones and his family are cannibals and have killed and eaten on average 3 politians a month. No one noticed they were gone until someone realized they were being told the truth when they asked a question."
neighbor "What?!? Cannibals? That's impossible. The Jones' were a great family. In fact, we were just over last week. Bob grilled up some great steaks. They were to-die for. I can't believe they were cannibals."

2. In a suburb of DFW, there is a controversy raging about red light cameras. This one specific camera is catching people turning right on red. They slow down, cross the white line so they can see oncoming traffic, stop, and then turn if it's clear. They get a ticket because they crossed the white line. During the filming of this TV report, one lady stopped and made this comment, "Oh yeah this red light camera is terrible. I mean I must have gotten at least 6 or 7 tickets in the past month because of it."

And last but not least.....
