The Life Lessons Collection

As I attempted for the second day to read more than two pages of a weighty article in the latest issue of Harper's, the air was pierced when my spouse exclaimed, "I have got to get some of these!"

I turned to find him holding a magazine in his hand, with what appeared to be a pull-out advertisement for a figurine collection. I thought he had gone mad. He wants to start collecting figurines?

This turned out to be no ordinary figurine collection. The Life Lessons Collection is an ad campaign from TLC promoting some of its shows. I don't even know where TLC is on my dial, but I have to hand it to them, this campaign is hilariously creative and sharp.

Check it out when the weight of the world attempts to crush your optimism. Which may very well be pretty much all the time. If after watching the commercials you think "yeah, but I still need to be productive", make your own custom figurine and send it to someone you love! Or hate! Like Bill Napoli!
