Q: Is rollerblading fun?

A: Of course it's fun. Look at the couple in this ad. They're laughing, smiling, out in the sun, enjoying life. Look at all the fun they're having. Why would this ad lie to you? What would it possibly have to gain? This ad doesn't know you, it's never met you, it has no idea how you are. It's merely a lovely picture of two beautiful people, enjoying a leisurely day of rollerblading, cast, produced and paid for by the American Rollerblade Corporation - clearly an unbiased third party, hoping to entertain the people of America.

I'm pretty sure Rollerblade is the name of the company. I believe it was started by a Mr. John Rollerblade. Dutch heritage, from my recollection.

Yes, they manufacture and distribute rollerblades. What company doesn't? They also happen to make a wide variety of other merchandise, such as helmets, elbow pads, wheels, spandex pants, tank tops and a series of blockbuster films about an international man of mystery named J.J. Rollerblade who travels the world, fighting crime by day, bedding super models by night, fighting crime again later at night, all while competing in occasional high stakes rollerblade races.

They really took a bath on those movies. They were the only films to receive a rating of "Mineral" on Rotten Tomatoes. Big embarrassment.

But enough about movies, did you want to rent these rollerblades? Or are you content on leading a sad, pathetic, loveless existence?

Really?

Are you sure?

At this point, I have to believe that you don't understand the ad at all.
