Is any one else bugged with the quality of swimming shown in commercials. It is very rare to see any one who is at all smooth in the water. It especially bugs me in health club ads as they are showing what people are striving for & the swimmers are flailers.(There is a lite beer ad where a man & a women are racing & they are clearly swimmers) Surely there must be some actors who really swim.
The implied message in the relay commercial is that you not only are doing something that is destructive (in terms of the user's life), but you are failing to live up to your responsibilities as a constructive participant in society (you let down your teammates). A little too refined and circumspect for the audience that it apparently targets. And the implication that someone who is so wasted on drugs would be able to train enough and be trusted to swim a leg of a relay team is a stretch, too. The old eggs in the frying pan commercial is much more direct, succinct, and graphic.
