thistlechaser | What cool times we live in. :D (RL)

I was listening to the radio while driving home for lunch. Typical wedding ring/jewelry store commercial came on.

Man speaking: It was a bit of a stretch, but I knew she was going to wear that diamond ring forever...

At that point I semi-tuned the radio out, wondering if any couples really, really, really believe their relationships will last "forever". Listening with half an ear, next line I heard was:

Woman speaking: When Julie and I tied the knot, I knew the ring would have to be something special...

Buh? Wait, what'd I just hear? 'Julie'? When a woman was speaking? I listened closer to the last of the ad:

Man speaking: I wanted to get something special to place on Rick's finger, something that would really match his style...

I nearly fell out of my chair! :D

I've never ever written to a company about a commercial before (I've really wanted to do it for some negative ones, but it seemed like too much work). But for this one? I hunted down the company's website and sent them off a nice email thanking them for being brave enough to run something like that. :D
