Zachsmom | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 07:47 pm     I've seen that hippy!!! YIKES..wouldn't use it myself!! Well..except maybe for a hand held fan on a hot humid day! |
Whoami | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 10:07 pm     I think I've seen that Hippy. Isn't it something that's supposed to braid hair real quick? Or is that something else? I remember the one I'm thinking of, and I could already see tons of broken ends in the "demo hair." Little frayed strands of hair all over the place! Yikes! |
Sawheel17 | Friday, January 03, 2003 - 11:18 pm     I love the new commercial about Miller light, where the two guys are fantisizing about the two girls fighting in the fountain and mud-wrestling about less filling and so on. Then it shows the girls sitting next to them going "Yeah Right". For those of you that hate the WAL-Mart commercials. here's a heads-up, the little smiley guy will be Robin Hood.I think that campaign starts in Feb. I bought my Honey AXE for Christmas and Told him to spray it on. "Tonite the Nite Big BOY." |
Hippyt | Saturday, January 04, 2003 - 06:27 pm     I just saw the new Sprint commercial,it had me laughing out loud! The Sprint guy and a rancher on the farm.Farmer says,'I ordered 200 Oxen,and they sent me all these weinie dogs'. There are Dauschunds running everywhere!At the end someone yells 'Stampede!' and a huge pack of weinie dogs go running by! Too Funny! |
Twinkie | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 10:31 am     Why does the cotton industry feel the need to advertise? Why does the milk industry feel the need to advertise? Do they think that someone is going to see their ads and say "oh hey! Milk! I never would have thought of that!" ???? |

Hermione69 | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 10:47 am     That weiner dog commercial is hilarious! I also like the VW commercial where all acts of kindness are being passed along. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 10:54 am     Sawheel17...are you aware that there are TWO versions of the Miller lite commercial...one for network TV...and one for cable? The ending for the cable version is a bit more riske'....just a tag line at the end...but VERY sexual in content. Eyes opened wide in disbelief...and I had to ask hubby..."Did she really say what I thought she said?" SHE DID! lol! |
Fanny | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 11:01 am     Has anyone commented about that damned toilet paper ad? I think it might be Cottonelle and all they show are views of people's butts? and the tag line is something about being/feeling clean? That is so <14> repugnant. I swear I will boycott that TP. I hate that commercial. It is disgusting. <14>. (there may be a certain ironic quality to this post but believe me *even I* have my limits) |
Heyltslori | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 11:23 am     I agree Fanny...especially that bowling butt!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 03:37 pm     HIPPY! I was coming here to post about that commercial. It is hilarious! It makes me want 20 more Toby-dogs |
Whit4you | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 03:45 pm     Twinkie - the thing I don't get is why the Plastics ads????? I mean come on... what a total waste of money. Who's going to see an ad for Plastic and go out and buy something they normally wouldn't buy??? |
Wargod | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 05:44 pm     We saw the dog commercial last night and rolled. I saw one for an anti-perspirant. The woman sprayed it on a manaquin and I guess she liked the smell since she kinda cuddled up to it. Then she started to rub its little manaquin nipple saying "do you like that?" Something like that. I kindof stiffleda giggle, and Dakota looked at me going "huh? I thought it was funy, but didn't like it playing while my 4 year old was watching tv. |
Sawheel17 | Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 10:21 pm     OMG!!! Marysfan, I saw THE OTHER version tonight. I thought,"I have to get to the TVCH and tell them, there's two versions!"OK,I'm red-faced and leaving now. |
Sadiesmom | Thursday, January 09, 2003 - 06:53 pm     I can hardly wait to the the ads sfunded by Arianna Huffington on 'buy an SUV help a terrorist' People are going to be annoyed and I will be so laughing with my 40 MPG car. LOL |
Wargod | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 11:06 am     I'm coming to comlain about another commercial I saw last night. It was I think Special K cereal. The woman was standing in a towel on a scale, and kept telling the camera that it couldn't peek. She had not an ounce of fat, her shoulders were bony and protruding and the announcer was telling her that eating Special K would help her lose weight. The whole message of it made me mad...it was obvious the woman didn't need to lose any weigt at all! Now, if they wanted to make the point that the cereal would be a good addition to a diet, they could have used a woman who wasn't stick thin...what kind of message is that sending to women? Ok, I know, this happens all the time and most the time I just ignore it, but I hate the fact that women are told if they have an extra pound or two they should be embarrassed by their weight and should go on diet to lose it all. End rant, sorry, it really,really bugged me though! |
Hippyt | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 11:51 am     I was coming here to say the exact same thing War!Good rant! That commercial is ridiculous. |
Whoami | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 12:44 pm     I'm really into e-mailing these kind of rants. Here's a "contact us" page on the Kelloggs site. It's one where you fill out info. I believe there's a list of stuff to click on, then a "still not what your're looking for, click here" type of thing.
Kelloggs Contact Us We need to let these idiots know how they turn off the consumer. Of course, the main page is all about weight loss, and all that rot. So, they may only be concerned about a certain demographic anyway! |
Dahli | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:13 pm     In addition DONT buy the product, I think they care more about what we do than what we say, so if people are ranting but sales continue to go well, they could care less... doncha think?? |
Twiggyish | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:30 pm     I hate that Special K commercial, too..for that reason and it's annoying! I LOVE the Saturn commercial with the car leaving childhood.. (A sign says Childhood). At the sign for "Old Age" the car turns to the right. That's one of my favorite commercials! |
Wargod | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:38 pm     I buy generic cereal for the kids, me and hubby don't eat it, so I wouldn't have bought it to begin with, lol. I just know too many teenage girls who think they need to lose weight when clearly they don't. And this is the kind of commercial where they get that idea. |
Whoami | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:41 pm     Uhhh, you know what? Now that I think about it, was that commercial for Total, not Special K? I remember, cause Mom said "maybe we should get some of that" when it talked about all it's "wonderful vitamins" and stuff. She had me write it down on our grocery list. |
Twinkie | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:49 pm     I'd just like to say that my sister owns and runs a weight control clinic and she is the first person to tell you that 80% of the American people are overweight. Which means that most ads and fashions are designed for only 20% of the population. I say the other 80% take a stand and say NO MORE! Write, email, fax these companies and tell them you will not put up with that anymore! Maybe this should have been in the rant thread. hehehe |
Marysafan | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 01:54 pm     I think it might have been Special K because they have been promoting the wieght loss benefits for quit awhile...remember the "little red dress" campaign? This advertisiing is very mis-leading however because if you read the box...it tells you to eat Special K for TWO meals a day in order to assist in weight loss. Most people would assume that Special K for breakfast would help to achieve those results. |
Spygirl | Friday, January 17, 2003 - 03:09 pm     And who would eat just cereal for two meals a day everyday? And besides that, who wouldn't lose weight if that is what you ate two of the three meals a day? Have you seen their portion sizes? LOL Sometimes I wonder if they smoke pot at those marketing meetings. |
