Who watches commercials anymore?

Why are these businesses making a statement about lifestyles? 

Does it matter in any way what so ever? 

So tired of everyone and everything needing to prove their political correctness. 

The booby girls are making a statement about lifestyle.  If you buy this car, this razor or this brand of dog food, young hot girls will throw themselves at your feet.  Same type of thing.

The bud commercials are another. 

What does a dog playing with a horse have to do with beer?

 No. Not the same thing. 

The booby girls are promoting a product.

In the Tylenol commercial,  the product is promoting a lifestyle.

The booby girls are promoting a lifestyle. The notion that if you use this, you instantly become sexually attractive to girls half your age. But, I understand what you mean. Do we now have to have Gay Tylenol and put the pride label on everything?

The only thing I wonder about is if any of our soldiers are offended by the man married to the Muslim woman. I wonder what they think?

I get tired of PC commercials. Some of them are better than others. Some of them are so annoying it's pathetic. Others are more well done.

I don't get the problem with those commercials. They present a non-standard or non-Christian family dynamic. So what?

Just because we choose to live one way doesn't make it wrong for other people to choose to live another way. I thought that was supposed to be one of the great things about America, freedom to live one's own life without having to worry if it upsets other people.

I support headache relief for gay men. We give them enough headaches that they need it probably more than we do.

I think it was Infant Tylenol.

Like I said, some commercials are better than others. If you have to work hard to present your agenda you're probably doing something wrong.

Shouldn't they just leave the PC statements to others and just make their products?

I dislike commercials that promote an agenda vs just selling the product.

The Carl's Jr. commercials are eyeroll-inducing for me. Always a super skinny chick eating a big burger. Uh huh sure. Because that's what super skinny chicks are known for.

 I actually identify as a delicate flower.

All 190lbs and 5'11" of me.

Yesterday I carried a calf up to the barn, covered from head to toe in mud and other, less pleasant things.

Have you seen the new Chobani commercial? Totally inappropriate no matter who you are. That does not need to be on TV...and I am far from prudish...

The second person appeared to be wearing a wedding ring, and also appeared to be female.

Is that the point?

They're a gay married couple ed. And she's rubbing yogurt on her partner. Thanks but none of us need to be in the bedroom of anyone else.

I don't care that they are gay, I would have had the same problem if they were not. Its yogurt. Why does yogurt need to be sexualized? I mean, I understand the passion jelly, that's the point of the product. I don't understand yogurt. That's wrong....

 Same can be said for the liquid plumber commercials.

There's a commercial around here for a rehab center. They show different people. One guy says, "I'm a husband and father and slipped and started using." Slipped? Like you just fell onto the drugs? Another guy says "I'm a first responder and still can't believe I took pain killers." Um, you still can't believe? Are you done with rehab? I hope not. The whole commercial is people saying stuff like this. I just think, "Wow, they must have missed that step where they admit they have a problem."

 Perhaps they want to introduce yogurt to a new market as a product that can be used the same as that jelly?

 But that would require the addict to take responsibility and we all know that's not the "nice" thing to do...<inserts sarcasm>

 Yeah, I need to go there.  They have saunas and pools and horseback riding and gyms and acupuncture and gourmet meals and all kinds of things.  I may need to "slip".
