The Laughing Cow, “Reinvent Snacking”
If I beheld a human-sized, red-colored, talking anthropomorphic cow on my living room sofa, I’d probably be paying more attention to her than I was to my snack or whatever was airing on the tube. Such is not the case with the humans in the Laughing Cow “Reinvent Snacking” commercial, who go about feeding their faces, apparently oblivious to the cow.
Is this perhaps a spectral cow, visible to you and I only? I find that thought disturbing, as I do to some extent the cow herself. – -Why is she red?- – Does she share genes with Clifford, the Big Red Dog?- – And why is she wearing earrings made of her own cheeses? Smart product placement, maybe, but rather tacky!
Bemoaning the fact that snacking has become “predictable and unsatisfying” (much like my life), the red cow then joins a woman on her porch and later at a table, where she cheerily touts the virtues of Laughing Cow cheeses while continuing to be ignored by her human hosts. Yes, it would appear that in matters of snacking and cross-species entertaining, humans are basically…pigs!

I don’t like my cows to be red or laughing. I prefer them silent…and medium-well.
