What are you selling?

Do you all remember that old episode of The Simpsons from season 4 called "Krusty Gets Canceled." It is the one about a new rival show, Gabbo, starting. For weeks all everyone saw was this ad. Saying Gabbo was coming, and no one knew what it was. Was it some kind of product? Was it a restaurant? What? People start using the term "gabbo" in everyday language without even knowing what it was. Then it turns out it was a new show featuring a hand puppet.


Now we currently have two such commercials out there:

Who is that and what is he selling? This is America, I am sure you are selling something, tell me what it is. Today is 1.18.09 and I still have no idea what this is.


No really, what is G? I want to know. Apparently it is something about Gatorade, but how would one know by watching this commercial. Commercials are supposed to inform us about a product and convince you to buy something. If this commercial convinced me to buy something, I wouldn't know what to go out and buy. Stupid.
