This Was Before I Was a Slasher, Oddly Enough

[masterofmidgets]

So, a few years ago, back when I still watched television on, like, an actual physical tv, there were these commercials for one of those internet travel-booking sites, I think travelocity but possibly not. The premise of these commercials was that there was this (fictional) game show where contestants had to book a trip somewhere as quickly as possible; contestant A would be using the site being advertised while being distracted by small children, animals, cooking dinner, etc, while contestant B would be undistracted but only able to use the horribly outdated method of increasingly frantic phone calls. Surprise, surprise, contestant A always won, whatever.

But see, the thing is, I can distinctly remember having the tv on at one point, and seeing that ad, and the set up for that week's version of the ad was that contestant A was a guy with a new boyfriend distracting him by hanging all over him and trying to make out while he's booking this trip. 

I just remembered this, and it is driving me ABSOLUTELY CRAZY that I cannot figure out if this ad ever existed, or if it's just some of weird commercial hallucination on my part. WTF, brain?

that...sort of helps. Except now I'm wondering why I saw it when we only ever had basic cable!
Thanks though!
