Talkin’ bout 2 things I hate to love

In a matter of minutes, two conversations about two things I hate to love:
First: I’m sure some of you have seen that Optimum Triple Play reggaeton commercial. Seems like I am not the only one who finds it annoying yet semi-entertaining. For those of you who haven’t seen it, check it out on YouTube.
Belmin the savings are for real, triple play is the deal! Come!
Alissa let me guess… you just saw your favorite commercial?
Belmin lol yea, it’s like a mini cinematic adventure
Alissa that commercial is ruining my life!
Belmin with the pirate in the back killing the octopus
Alissa lol… i like the sea monster guy!
Belmin lol seee u like it!
Alissa that’s why it’s ruining my life! i try not to like it… but i can’t help it!
Belmin lol it’s funny… not sure how it’ll convince people to get cable, but it sells the brand
Alissa yeah… true
Alissa do you think if they did it with a rap song, it would’ve been just as entertaining?
Belmin probably.. but they’ll have to change the stereotypes
Alissa but i’m thinking… people would be offended by the stereotypes…
Belmin well in this commercial, it’s subtle enough that it’s not offensive but it’s definitely taking some of the sensationalism you find in telemundo and novelas
Belmin is that the word? sensationalism? hmmmm like over-the-top?
Alissa yes…
Alissa actually… i’m not sure if that’s the right word… but i know what you mean
Belmin yep right word: wikipedia link
Alissa yes! you get a gold star…
Belmin I’m posting this convo cause I’m lazy to come up with a blog post about that cool commercial
Secondly: That dumb but catchy Flo Rida song, “Low”:
Aisha Apple bottoy jeans and bonus with the fur
Belmin ?
Aisha Bottom*
Aisha Boots*
Belmin oh
Aisha Lol
Belmin I like that song…. unfortunately
Now I can’t get that song out of my head… “She hit the flooorrr……”

“She got low low low low low low low!” Only reason I like this song is because apple bottom jeans and those boots with the fur are like a uniform for me I wear it so much…
“8-7-7-3-9-3-4-4-4-8!” I don’t know about anyone else…but I’m SO convinced to get Optimum! Hee hee!
Unfortunately, I like this commercial too…you should see me son dance to it…I might record that one day! LOL

IT’S FOR US PEOPLE!!

cc: It doesn’t matter if they change the song. You can’t join because cablevision does not serve your area.
