Liars are so cute.

This Flo TV spot is a good example of a popular trend in advertising. Lying. In this supposedly adorable spot the child suggests to his proud father that he is now able to use the bathroom alone. But once in there, he spends his time watching TV. One can only imagine what kind of devious adult this brat will turn into. This just one of many commercials where the humor is based on lying: a husband to his wife or vice versa, a friend to a friend, a girl to an unwanted suitor, etc. One could argue that it's humorous, all in good fun and whimsical. And I completely agree. And guess what? That was a lie. I don't agree at all.

Note: Another commercial in this series ridicules a guy who is out shopping with his girlfriend rather than watching sports on TV. The suggestion is that he is unmanly because he doesn't ditch her for the game. This is a company that does not have a high regard for people.
