If a picture paints a thousand words, what exactly would this TV commercial do for the image of librarians?
Note: Click on the arrow to watch the video. It will take some time to load, so I suggest you click on the "pause" button while waiting. The video will stop playing, but it will continue to load.The commercial is set in a library. The librarian—wearing glasses and with her hair in a bun—is in the foreground stamping books. Meanwhile, the library user in the background causes the shelves to topple like dominos. This, apparently, causes the librarian to have a headache, the voiceover promotes Biogesic as a safe and effective painkiller, and after the librarian gets over her headache—presumably because she took Biogesic—she tells the user, "Pulutin mo 'yan" (Pick that up).
I really don't know what to say.
