I rewound and paused so I could count how many biscuits!
I did that with the Eggo waffles.

I missed the Wednesday chat but I did record the show, watching it now. Her delusion level is astounding. 'Don't eat that much' when her breakfast could feed our entire department at work???
When the hubs and I saw that, we were both saying "Holy s***, that's like 4 breakfasts for the two of us!" (As in, breakfast for dinner)

I didn't watch the superbowl so I had to google the Martha Stewart commercial and the Breaking Bad one.
They are both great
No, this one.

The Farmers Dog one was my favorite ❤️
That type of commercial, where the pet grows old, always makes me sad. I want my critters to live forever.

The Cologuard commercial with the people cheerily singing that bastardized version of "My Way" stinks to high heaven. Who came up with this shit?
The shit-talking ad agency for a company that analyzes shit?
All of which reminds me of the Cheech and Chong routine... "It’s Dave. I've got the shit." "Dave's not here."

The child beauty pageants have always struck me as messed up, but I've had a bunch of cousins come up through dance classes and shows when they were younger (which is what is depicted in the commerical that sparked this discussion). The kids loved getting dressed up in glittery outfits and theatrical makeup and dancing in front of an audience, and I'd hate to see that taken away from them just because there are creepy people out there who are going to objectify children no matter what they're doing or wearing.
Eh, kinda different animal. Dance is a skill that has to be learned. The emphasis is on the skill. And while there is theatrical makeup in dance, there are not spray tans, fake teeth, and ridiculous hairstyles.
I'm sure that there are skeevy people who get turned on watching little girls do gymnastics, too, but there again, it's an athletic challenge.

The other thing that bugs the shit out of me about these pageants is, what message are we sending our girls? That their value as a human is defined by their appearance? That their sole function is to be pretty? At least cheerleading is athletic!
Last night as I was researching whether or not these stupid pageants still exist (sadly the answer is yes), I came across an article about a young girl who committed suicide last year at age 16. Apparently she had been active in the child pageant circuit for years, and appeared on the TLC show "Toddlers and Tiaras." Her name was Kailia Posey.
Was her suicide related to pageants? We'll never know.

I've been seeing this commercial for some brand of taco shells which features people slamming their hands against tables with so much force that it causes things to "jump" off the table. Who the hell slams the table while they're eating or watching TV? 🤔
Me, if I'm watching hockey. Usually scares the bejabbers out of the cat.

Rant mode triggered! Fair warning.
Peacheslatour mentioned that the heavy makeup on a child reminded her of the child "beauty queen" crap that TLC(?) used to show a number of years ago. I totally agree! I hated the overt sexualization of the little girls in those "pageants." It wasn't just the makeup. The costumes were frequently inappropriate. I mean, what kind of mother puts her FOUR YEAR OLD in a costume mimicking Julia Roberts' hooker clothes in "Pretty Woman?"
And subjecting a child to clip-on teeth because they're a normal kid who's lost their two front teeth is child abuse, in my never-humble opinion.
I'm glad those things are no longer televised. I can only HOPE they no longer exist.

To me it's her heavily made up face. It reminds of that child beauty pageant crap.
Taking my response to small talk because this flipped a switch that had been off for a long time.

LaTonya reminded me so much of my cat. Overfed, well groomed, somewhat independent, charming, sweet as pie yet manipulative, controlling and downright nasty if they don’t get their way. I wouldn’t let him out in the yard this morning and he gave me the same baby voice LaTonya pulled on Dr. Now when she wanted gourmet hospital food. Then when I turned my back he’s all, “So what you saying is I should just take my fat ass home and die!”
OK, this made me hoot. So, what you're saying is that your cat is a normal cat 😄 So's mine, but only a smidgen on the chubby side.

Apparently we now have the scourge of "Ozempic face"!
"Ozempic face." Yeah, that's what I have! Never mind that I've never taken that drug and that I'm 75. It's the drug, I say! 😄

one thing we talk about in speaking or pronunciation classes is pausing in the right places.
Yes!!! There's a song titled "Legend" by the group The Score that contains the lyrics
"Blood, sweat, I'll break my bones /Till all my scars bleed gold and my name's forever known"
Unfortunately, the way it's sung is "Till all my scars bleed gold and [pause] my name's forever known" This leads to people mishearing it as "scars bleed GOLDEN."

Cpl. Fitzsimmons last night on the bridge with the young man! ♥️
Damned onion-cutting ninjas in my living room again.
Anybody else keep track of how many of these incidents are alcohol related?

I know I'm not the target audience for a jewelry commercial before Valentine's Day, but the dramatics of that one couple where they got married and she got "very sick. He came every day to help me learn to walk again." OMG! SHUT UP!
WTAF does that have to do with a blood diamond ring for Valentine's Day?
That one usually has me diving for the remote. I HATE that commercial! Of course, I hate most jewelry commercials.

I just overheard an ad for constipation medication. One of the side effects given was "increased bowel movements."
To which I say, "Thank you, Captain Obvious." (That's right up there with the warning on my peanut butter jar: Warning! Contains peanuts. )

The use of a stereotypical black voice for the poop makes this ad come across as racist.

What is a "black voice?"

SuperBeets sounds like the same kind of snake oil.
Edited 2 hours ago by littlebennysmom
Yes and no. There are numerous clinical studies that have indicated that beet root powder is very effective for numerous things, including blood pressure, circulation, and glucose control (links to them at the NIH website). But you can buy beetroot powder capsules for waaaaay less than Super Beets costs.

I was enjoying a Seinfeld "marathon" of sorts until the new Lume ads started. She now mentions using the product in "bifolds"? and butt cracks (as she points to these areas). WTH is going on with TV commercials these days? Is there no longer any control over what is said?
THIGH folds... the fold between the thigh and the mons pubis.

It's sppsd to be a remake of the original movie form the 1990's, right? I never watched the original, but judging by the trailers for both versions, they appear to be only similar by name.
I'm just an old white lady, but I'm offended by this type of "blacxploitation" movie. It seems like the creators are dragging out every offensive stereotype of Black culture (with the exception of the Stepin Fetchit type character, which mercifully has been dealt the coup de grace and buried.)

Oh, to clarify... the cans I'm talking about belong to us. We don't have trash collection where we live --- you have to take your own to the landfill.

Small Talk: About Big People
in My Big Fat Fabulous Life
Sorry to quote this but it's the easiest way to make a post.
Lovely people, I shall be leaving Primetimer. The incessant pop-ups are getting on my last good nerve, so for this and other reasons, I'm out. It's been great fun snarking with all of you!!
