There’s a Lowe’s commercial that, if you’re not listening to the words, and if your mind is so one-tracked that you can’t think outside your tiny box for a moment makes NO sense at all. The commercial shows different views of the Lowe’s logo with a makeshift letter T attached to the end of it. This happens throughout the commercial at least six times. For example, the Lowe’s logo from the department store is shown and then someone is holding a push broom upside-down at the end to make the letter T. I watched this and my train of thought was this:
“Lowe’s - T. I don’t get it. What the heck is Lowe’s - T. Are they giving away T-shirts? Nobody’s wearing a Lowe’s T-shirt. Lowe’s - T. Is this like the ING commercial where you just have to know what Lowe’s - T is? What a crappy commercial. Whoever thought this up should get fired because that makes NO sense at all.”
I did this twice - as in, I watched the commercial twice, and had the same exact thought process twice. Finally on the THIRD time around, it clicked. OHHHHHHH. They’re saying they have the LOW-EST prices! They are using the T to make the word LOWEST! AHHHHHH. I get it now.

I realize that this post is a couple of months old, but I didn't see your blog until now (and I won't be missing out from now on). Anyway, just had to say that I did the SAME thing! What a dumb commercial (see how I make them the dumb ones for the confusing commercial instead of admitting that I felt dumb for not "getting" it the first time?)! Seriously, third time for me too. Stupid Lowe's. Stupid stores that have stuff in them that this shopaholic can't even get excited about. Ugh.
