In the Eye of the Beholder

M and I were watching TV tonight, and the following commercial came on, which we watched in silence.


*Note: Philips is one of my husband's biggest clients, and he's been extensively exposed to their marketing materials.

Afterwards the following conversation ensued:

  me: "Ich liebe Dich."
  M:   "I love you, too. Do I need to shave?"
  me: "Uh...not if you don't want to. What does shaving have to do with I love you?
  M:   "Because you said it right after that commercial."
  me: "That commercial was about shaving?"
  M:   "Well, about hair removal, yes."
  me: "Huh. All I saw was a woman who is thinner and sexier than I am, and I was wishing I looked more like that."
  M:  "And what I was thinking was, 'I wonder if that's a Philips Lighting or Philips Consumer Lifestyle product."
