Love Ride

One of the disadvantages of advertising is that everything seems to be perfect. Rarely, what is seen belongs to reality. This may be the reason why people like me detest them.

Let's take an example: Cornetto's characters. The typical 20 year old girl, beautiful, good body and angel face. Without any doubt, she falls in love with another handsome guy. Surely, if we replaced him, the love would go only from his part. It's obvious that 'love at first sight' happens only at seeing the physical appearance of both, and 'true beauty lies within' is kept for the old age. On the bus, you'll meet your life partner.

If we judged it 50 years ago, I'm sure two 'lovers' wouldn't kiss each other at the same moment they come across. What about flowers, love letters or serenades under the woman's balcony? Where is the romanticism left? Nowhere. With simple ice cream we can do wonders, until we get fat and divorced from our first love.

For better or worse it's just a short story, an advertisment that tries to make people buy its ice cream and probably, the song. However, what's more evident is that 'truth is stranger than fiction'.
