Ashforth March 12, 2020 Share March 12, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, peacheslatour said: What the hell is wrong with people? From NBC News: A black business owner whose company was flooded with racist reviews after being featured in a Target ad said she's grateful for the controversy and the growth it offered her company. Beatrice Dixon, who started The Honey Pot Company in 2012, told Essence on Tuesday that she's not upset after dozens of racist reviews were posted about her feminine hygiene products. The negative reviews were posted Monday in response to Dixon's comments in a Target ad in which she said she hoped her success could pave the way for black girls. "It's all good," Dixon said. The USA is full of abhorrent racists (and we are not the only country in the world to have this problem). Those of us who don't share racist views must use our actions to fight those who do. 2 hours ago, dleighg said: The "bushes" thing was an ad for a "personal" grooming device for women for "down there."

Same here, only the commercial is clearly an updated version because they're all wearing helmets and we didn't even own helmets when I was a kid. It's a quiet suburban street populated by a lot of families with kids; I have two friends who live in areas like that (neither of whom have kids, so I don't know how they can stand it, but that's another issue), and there are always kids playing in the streets when I visit on the weekends. Only they're not as quick at moving out of the way as the kids in the commercial; those little shits expect you to wait while they finish the round/drive/whatever of what they're playing. 5 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/483/#findComment-6009789

She asks, "Yeah?" and he says, "I fell." I think her "okay" is a pitch-perfect response, and it just gets funnier from there. I think the dialogue is poorly written all around, but I'm more irritated with the kid in that commercial. All the kid says is "I fell." Unless it's an I've-fallen-and-I-can't-get-up situation, what do you expect your mother to do? The mom says where the band-aids are, because apparently she's a mind reader, and that's when the kid finally mentions bleeding. The kid sounds old enough to get her own damn band-aid, so I don't know why she was even calling her mother in the first place. If anything, you show your mother your wound if you want sympathy.

ETA for clarification: Accidentally yanking hair in that area is painful. Also for bikini line purposes for men who wear Speedos and bikini briefs. Again, a possible yanking hair situation. Oh because yanking hair off a vulva feels so good.

First off, I hate how the on-screen instructors call everyone "Peletons," and I hate the smug narrator's "not everyone can do 20 minutes after work (or in the morning or whenever it is)" or whatever other asshat thing he says. And now there's the one with the little girl being brainwashed from hearing her father's bike talk about not half-assing it (not the actual wording). There's one I saw for the first time recently where they list all these things that aren't for everyone, and then announce that Peletons are for everyone, before stating the subscription cost, which I assure you, Peleton, is not affordable for everyone. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/483/#findComment-6009846

Ohwell March 18, 2020 Share March 18, 2020 My issue with the kids in my neighborhood is that they don't have sense enough to get out of the street when they see cars coming. They just stand there, looking dumb, as if they don't know what streets are for. Plus, there's a huge playground with all sorts of shit just a couple blocks away. So yeah, I hate that ad and those kids. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/483/#findComment-6009935

We'd see the streetlights start to flicker and we knew it was time to pack it in. And going out Trick or Treating in groups, without any parents. The older kids would look out for the younger kids. That was the only time we'd get to stay out waay after dark. We didn't even go out until it got dark and what's that in Oct.

An hour later now than it used to be, thanks daylight savings! The entire thing still boggles me. What's the point in trick or treating while it's light out? (Don't get me started on trunk or treating.) 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/483/#findComment-6010204
