It's basically announcing the services of a Polish advertising agency (AimArt) explaining why its television ads, and television ads in general, are an effective means of promoting one's goods and services.

erikdepressant September 20, 2016 Share September 20, 2016 (edited) Those Merci ads make me contemplate the etiquette of chocolate gratitude. Like, how many thanks does one Merci cover? Mowing the lawn, fixing a leaky pipe... What is the two-Merci threshold? Teaching me to read, helping me quit heroin? There has to be an Absolute Merci Limit at which point the number of Mercis approaches infinity, but remains inadequate for expressing how grateful you are. Then ya gotta break down and get someone the $25 Sonic Gift Card. Maybe one Merci represents infinite gratitude: one box is as good as a hundred. Whether you deliver my mail or lend me your womb so I can be a parent, you're getting a single Merci.
