Honestly, I don't even know what we're arguing over. When a company comes out with a commercial that demos how their product works, and also claims that it works better than competing product(s), I find those commercials more convincing if they also demo how comparatively poorly the competing product(s) works. That's it. That's all I'm saying. Bounty has a commercial touting how strong their paper towels are. They show that even when one of their towels is soaking wet, it's strong enough to hold a jar (or whatever they use in that demo). Then they do the same thing with a 'competing brand' and the jar crashes through the towel. I think that commercial would be less effective had they only showed their towel and not the competing brand. That's it, that's all I'm saying. Just an off the cuff personal opinion. Does that make me a bad or unreasonable person or something? If so, then fine. I concede the argument. I'm a bad person. Whatever.
