Leaky Roof, Tampons, and Bologna
Dang. The roof in my office is leaking. I guess the construction combined with Dennis's rain was too much for the roof. Wonder if I can plug the hole with a tampon like the girl in the commercial...
Thinking of that Tampax commercial, I think it's a little vulgar. (I tried to find a clip but I couldn't--for those of you blessed enough not to have seen it, it's a sickeningly romantic commercial of a couple on a boat ride. The boat springs a leak and the woman, naturally, whips out a tampon and plugs the hole).
The commercial in itself is probably innocent enough and maybe even a little clever, but personally, I find the implied comparison of a woman to a leaky dinghy a little overboard.
Heh. Overboard. No nautical pun intended there.
It irritates me almost as much as the pooping bears on the Charmin commercials, which I posted about in January.
Commercials are just getting weird. What ever happened to the simple commercials like "My bologna has a first name..."
Whoa--I started this post about a leaky roof and I ended up ranting about commercials. Well, it's a brief stream of consciousness display for you, I guess.

I agree with you here. a lot of Commercials have bad taste, but you have to admit some of them are pretty funny.
Wait till you have kids and you have to monitor everything on tv they see

I think the mispronouncement of the word "lake" bothers me as much as anything. I agree that it's a tacky commercial--still not as tacky as the Hardees's commercial with Paris H. though!

No way! I can't believe they'd show a commercial like that. One of the benefits of no longer living in the US I guess is missing out on the commercials.
Cute site :)
