You guys are probably too young to remember that “ring around the collar” commercial...?

This made me sort of flash on a newer version of the commercial with an anthropomorphic doe - perhaps sipping a cup of coffee, wearing a house dress - gesturing out the window at a hunter who thinks he’s adequately hidden in tall grass, but visible to her extraordinary eyesight because of the residue left on his clothing from laundry detergent. “What a schmuck!” she exclaims with a chuckle.

Then another hunter - who was visible because of his eyeblinks in another clump of brush but otherwise not that noticeable - rises up while the doe is ridiculing hunters whose wives don’t launder their hunting togs properly, draws a bead, and shoots her. Then a brief ad for a non-residue laundry product rolls while the hunter strides confidently forward and drags his kill out onto the lawn of the anachronistic deer-house (there’s broken glass everywhere from the bullet going through the window), where he methodically cuts her human-style clothing away in preparation for butchering.

What...? That’s good advertising, right there.

Might even leave the sound on for a commercial like that!

(And I do remember "ring around the collar"... ;>)
