Pretty insightful for a book written 60 years ago. It just turns out that there is more than one Big Brother.
Next time it’s on, watch the mom’s face carefully right after she proposes “princess and pirates,” and starts looking through the box. She’s quite obviously in hell, and I don’t really think the migraine is the problem.
I think the little girl may have the ability to wish away people who don’t put up with her nonsense, and may have reduced the local population to 2.
I like your interpretation! I think my wife will, too. She hates that commercial.
It’s a good day to play princess and pirates! A very good day, indeed!

Thank you ever so much. 
We arent the only ones who hate it:
I haven’t had this many responses to something I said here since 24 went off the air. 
Meh, my and my family would play “stuff with us in it” well past that age. Like Army, or made up stories or whatever. Mom playing all day with her daughter is a bit much, but the girl wanting to play make believe, fine and dandy.
Her band mates seem much more sympathetic than you, realizing it’s a medical condition.
My problem with that commercial is that they are the 1 song band. It’s one thing to only show them rehearsing one song. But then they go to their concert, and after a tense moment and the lead singer shows up on time, they perform their one song, then take their bows, then leave in their camper. And who set up and tore down all the stage, gear, etc? They have roadies? Then they go to another concert at a club and do their one song again.
I don’t remember the specifics of the commercial, but is it possible they were there as part of a festival, so there are other bands performing too? That seems like the logical explanation to me, unless I’m forgetting something.
Hey, I’m not the one who thought she was taking mood altering drugs.
Also, it seems you expect a lot from a 30 second commercial. They only film the parts that are relevant to the point they are trying to make for the product they are trying to sell, not make a documentary on what happens when you give a concert.
Here is a link to the migrainy pirate.
mmm
There’s a commercial for Phoenix University, with a boy reading about a dragon learning to fly, and the on-screen parallel to his mother getting a degree and a better job. All fine, as far as it goes, until the final shot of the boy looking with what I imagine is supposed to be admiration and love at his mother. Instead he looks as if someone has told him “Smile, or I’ll kill your puppy.” OK, bad child actors on commercials are to be expected, but as the last thing you see, it sure puts me off the product (if I weren’t already).
Here is the commercial, the face is at 0:55.
I have no idea what Chron’s disease is! I must say she looked remarkably calm sitting off stage instead of running for the ladies room.

This is a thread bitching about a lot of stupid stuff in commercials. My stupid stuff is just as valid.
You mean where she has that distressed look on her face, is offered food, and gets up and shuffles off screen? Or when she’s singing, stops, and says “I’ll be right back” as she leaves the studio?
This commercial for Clif Bar shows a man apparently regurgitating his Clif Bar into a baby eagle’s beak.
“It’s not gross, it’s nature.” No, dude, it’s gross, even if the eagle isn’t real.
It looks like there’s another new (?) Humira ad that I think answers the question of who the actress is. The original ad at ispot.tv lists both Chelsea Carbaugh, who is being referenced in the above quotes, and Stevie Steel. It’s the latter who is in that commercial, but the new commercial has both of them. Stevie is at 0:51 in the new Citrate Free commercial, and I think it’s Chelsea at 1:00 (even though neither are listed at at that link. I’m not trusting ispot identifying the right people!
Now the Arby’s sandwich guy is singing!
There’s an acting profile for a “Stevie Steel” from NY ( I think it is her) that says she’s 32(!).
Couple on a first date at a nice-ish restaurant. He compliments her: you look pretty/nice (she has on a dress).
She looks at the guy who has just taken off his sweater, and he has a t-shirt on. She is annoyed and tells him he looks amazingly casual.
Now, apparently the problem is that the neck is all stretched out, but unless your first date is some physical activity, who the hell wears a t-shirt and nothing else? I don’t think she would have been impressed with his sartorial sense even if the shirt not stretched out.
