topanga July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 (edited) There was a Kmart Back-to-School commercial was from 2013, but it might come back this year... There was a racially-diverse group of children standing around a playground and playing the dozens, but instead of insulting each other's mothers, they were saying things like, "yo Mama's so fiscally responsible, she got alllll that at K-mart and saved money." (or something like that). It was very cute. Edited July 17, 2014 by topanga 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3077-class-gender-race-etc-in-commercials/page/2/#findComment-208581

Watcher0363 July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 "Down there"? "V"? Christ, advertising execs; it's bad enough you market useless products designed to convince women their vaginas are dirty netherworlds in need of special, industrial-level cleaning, but it's made even more annoying by the fact you feel compelled to resort to these ridiculous euphemisms. It's a body part, not Beetlejuice; it won't come to life and torment you if you say its name. For men when it comes to the "V", the Vee Jay Jay, the pussy (sexy vulgar) or the vagina (supernatural vulgar), we live by the Spock axiom. Prolong contact leads to a certain degree of contamination. It is nearly impossible to rid one of the contaminate, you know, like the ring of Sauron influence. So one must not speak the name of the contaminate. For it is like Voldemort in that respect. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3077-class-gender-race-etc-in-commercials/page/2/#findComment-210588
MrMattyMatt July 27, 2014 Share July 27, 2014 I still see that racist KFC commercial with the black family. I'll have to watch closer to see what sides they added. It is so horrible on so many levels, The dining room they are sitting in is sort of in the shadows giving the impression they live in some sort of shack. I was expecting a distant sound of gunfire. Regarding Latisse... My mother used it for a while and it definitely works. She has very limited lashes and after about a month of using it, her lashes were thick long and full. She eventually stopped as it's expensive as hell and you have to keep using it.

janie jones June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 What a stupid commercial. First of all, who eats yogurt like that? Secondly, who doesn't mind if someone tickles their foot when they're trying to sleep? Thirdly, she takes the sheet off the other lady at the end, which no one likes to have happen to them. I can think of three scenarios for where that yogurt came from: 1. The yogurt happened to be sitting next to the bed (stupid). 2. She went and got the yogurt naked without disturbing the covers and came back and got under the covers (then why does she have to steal the covers now?). 3. She stole the covers before and then covered up the partner and then stole the covers off her again (asshole). That yogurt-eating lady better never let the sleeping lady go, because she's the only one who's going to put up with her nonsense. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3077-class-gender-race-etc-in-commercials/page/2/#findComment-1247829
