Funniest. Commercial. Ever.

Heard on the radio, for some herbal supplement:

Did you know that lack of sleep or insufficient sleep is one of the chief causes of fatigue?

    I’m so glad there’s a commercial to tell me this very important piece of information.

    Of course, the fact that it’s called “one of the chief causes” rather than “the chief cause” leaves me curious. What other cause might actually take the top slot from it? I mean, I realize there are actual medical conditions that cause fatigue (sometimes no matter how much sleep you get), but I can’t imagine that any of them are more common than insufficient sleep.

    It might have said “the” rather than “one of the.” I had to wait until I was out of the car to write it down.

    Plus, I was laughing so hard.

    Well, I can certainly understand that! I think I spent several minutes laughing after just reading about it here.

    And, in my estimation, the biggest problem with that ad is that i will lose sleep thinking about how such a line could have possibly made it into final copy. And losing sleep is bad because, I don’t know if you knew this, but it is one of the chief causes of fatigue.
