This Toshiba commercial is about a love affair between a monkey and a dog, whose romance comes to an end when the dog moves away. Alas, the relationship is instantly lubricated by the Internet and the reliability of video chat. The voice-over says in the Toshiba commercial, "There are some things in life you can always count on. Like intuitive, reliable laptops from Toshiba."
Like pet, like master. The monkey and dog couple can't necessarily count on physical intimacy, but they sure can rely on their laptops. How many of your personal relationships exist mostly (or solely) on the web?
