This commercial for Broadview Security starts out like a normal commercial, with a girl turning away a date at the door, citing the fact that she just got out of a bad relationship, and going inside. She could easily be about to indulge in a single-serving microwave brownie or some Dove chocolate. But then things turn plain frightening!

With all the drama in this minute-long ad, you might think you’ve stumbled upon Jennifer Lopez’s fine domestic violence-themed B-movie classic “Enough,” but you’d be wrong. The commercial is simply saying that you should buy an alarm system so that when a stalker breaks into your house intent on finally ending your life, a shrill alarm will convince him to run away. Somehow I think a restraining order might be a better route to take. Or, better yet, a large dog and a shotgun. That’ll send those no good ex-husbands running, just ask any female country singer. Or you could always take the Jennifer Lopez route and get really buff so you can kick the dude’s ass and look cool doing it, even though he’s twice your size and no number of ab crunches is going to change that.

In conclusion, I’m saying “Enough!”…of these terrible worst case scenario ads.
