I've got a Kindle 3. I love mine. But that doesn't mean that's a good commercial. They're obviously trying to show how portable and easy to take with you the Kindle is. Fair enough, but I think they're exaggerating. And the thing is, it's not like a car commercial. There's no obvious hyperbole involved. Frankly, I don't understand why they put such things in the commercial in the first place. Someone might, conceivably, put the Kindle in a drawer without a cover, but let their dog lick it? Put it in their back pocket? Those seem to be such odd use scenarios that I don't even know why they bothered. Tossing it on the bed, or accidentally getting cereal on it are at least things I could see happening, but the others almost seem like dares.
