"And don't even get me started on the cost of a decent gardener these days!"
I'm really trying to work up some sympathy for a woman who whines about her cable/phone bill as she takes a freaking hike through her spotless, gleaming-white, cavernous suburban mansion equipped with all the trendy furniture, finest appliances and at least one enormous flat-screen television in each room. Really I am.
Actually I just wish she would just shut her pampered cake hole and stop trying to convince me that she is really concerned about the price of cable, telephone service, gasoline or anything else. Next time get a representative from your f---ing cleaning crew to tell us about how Comcast saves money. Because seriously- from you? I'm not buying that you've looked at the price tag of anything for at least the past five years, so take your "hey I'm just like you" act and roll it off a cliff in your Lexus SUV, ok?

I find it equally hard to believe that Trophy Wife would even know what Hamburger Helper is, let alone serve it to her family. This is because she thinks that meals appear on the table by magic.
ReplyDeleteI was going to include in my post a snarky comment how Obviously Latina Trophy Wife hooked up with Obviously Much Older Not Latin But Very Well-Off "I Can Buy A Life For You" Guy, but I decided to leave that to a sharp-eyed commentator ;>).
DeleteYou are so not kidding. This woman lives in a suburban palace--when did she last have to worry about the price of anything? Another thing I noticed, and maybe you have too: Every single kitchen, in every single ad on TV on which a kitchen is shown, seems to be the exact same kitchen: all white, with windowed cabinets (so we can see the classy dishware inside) and white/steel finish appliances. There must be a set on which all commercials requiring a kitchen are shot, because they ALL look like this. Whereas, when's the last time you walked into a real-life kitchen and all the cabinets had glass windows on them? Think about it.
ReplyDeleteAs I've mentioned in previous posts, everyone in television ads has a kitchen twice the size of my apartment- kitchens stocked with walk-in refrigerators, restaurant-grade ovens, gleaming white marble countertops and serving islands large enough to seat six. And half the time we see them, they are the backdrop of a conversation about saving money.
DeleteI think ad men believe that the "average" American family actually lives in houses which feature kitchens like that. Which means they think that the median income is somewhere in the mid-six-digit range. Bizarre.
