ROB ZOMBIE'S "THE TORTURER"

 ROB ZOMBIE'S "THE TORTURER"

Sometimes there's nothing more horrifying than stubborn grass stains on a new pair of white jeans. Most of the time, though, humans being tortured by deranged psycho killers is more horrifying than that. And sometimes, just plain old white jeans are horrifying enough. I mean, who wears white jeans? Gross. Those people deserved to be tortured and killed. But also, who thinks of deranged psycho killer torture when they think of stains? Rob Zombie, that's who! 


I imagine that when Rob Zombie was approached to do this commercial for Woolite he already had something ready to go. Rob Zombie probably loves Woolite. Or money. Either way. I have a hard time with this commercial because I have a hard time with all commercials, because I hate them. This kind of thing reminds me of when Krusty The Clown went on a Carlin-esque rant about commercials and celebrity sell outs, saying, "And all I keep seeing is dead celebrities hawking products! You've got poor old Vincent Price floating around in a toilet keg telling me about the horrors of an unfresh bowl!" Rob Zombie counts as a dead celebrity, right? I think he'd be proud to know that. 


The funniest thing about this ad to me is that, apparently, this ad campaign is targeted at "fashion-conscious career women ages 20 to 45." Which makes a lot of sense, because that's already Rob Zombie's built-in demographic, and those women, like most women, love torture and cleaning.
