There was this commercial shown on television advertising the new flavour of Dentyne Ice.

The commercial went like this:

"There was this teenager trapped in some sort of clear bubble. Apparently there was a group of scientists testing him or something. As his what looks to be girlfriend and her parents walks up to the bubble, they let him out, I guess to "test" him or something. Before his girlfriend leans in to give him a kiss, the scientists give him the new Dentyne Ice gum.

Now this part I don't get.

As soon as the girl goes in for a kiss, he bites into it, sending the liquid from the gum, onto the adjacent wall. She backs off towards her parents, and the scientists close the bubble back up."

OK, besides the fact that they want to sell their gum, what's the point of this commercial? I seriously don't get it.

Oh, and bonus points if anyone can tell me when I should use "There", "Their", and "They're".

I'm a grammar whore otherwise, I just can't get those words.

Commercials are the brain child of group think and sometimes can lack meaning to the rest of the world.

There: used when describing an object's location
ex: My shorts are over there

Their: used when describing a possession
Their ideas for commercials are dumb.

They're: contraction for they are.
They're going to the movies tonight

Just for fun:
They're over there next to their cars.

k never seen the commercial but:

There - location. examples, "There is the plane. There you are. I am over there"

Their - possession. examples, "It is their car. It is their responsibility. It is in their hands."

They're - contraction of They Are. examples, "They're in the cabinet. They're coming later. They're in style."

:)
