KLovestoShop February 8, 2023 Share February 8, 2023 I can’t stand the hyper-sexualized young girl in the prescription medication. Do they really think that putting her in a pair of shiny hot pants, and strutting her stuff like and adult is appropriate ? While I’ve never been a fan of the idiot Jamie on the Progressive ads, I despise the new guy “TV dad”. He’s an obnoxious jerk, and I just can’t figure what he has to do with insurance. ‘The M&M ads are beyond stupid and if they’re doing them to prep us for Super Bowl commercials, this is an epic fail. 4 1 Link to comment

So, there are a couple of chocolate candy controversies that at play in the Maya Rudolph fake rebrand. Which brings me to my other annoyance - previewing or promoing your Superb Owl ads prior to said Owl. Your 30 second spot should not need homework or additional ads to support it. I’m already tired of the Gronk ads and others and the stupid “real” ad hasn’t even aired yet! 9 Link to comment

If you are getting that many UTIs, it's time to see a doctor to confirm there is no underlying cause and for Spencer to look at his hygiene too. Stop grinning and wash your dick! 8 3 16 Link to comment

Haleth February 10, 2023 Share February 10, 2023 There are always going to be dance, cheer leading, and gymnastic competitions with young girls in skimpy or tight clothing. Are you suggesting they shouldn't be used in advertising because of a small (hopefully) number of viewers that sexualize the children? 3 Link to comment

Bruinsfan February 13, 2023 Share February 13, 2023 Maybe they're trying to be inclusive and promote body positivity? The swimsuit/underwear brand of an entertainer I follow just branched out into using a chubby model for some of their web ads for bikini bottoms. (I applaud the intent, but seeing them just verified that skimpy swimwear would look horrifying on my body type, so I question their effectiveness at selling product. I'll never in a million years be buying any for myself.) 1 1 Link to comment

And then the commercial is for a rearview commercial not a side mirror and they never mention race cars again. It's driving me batty y'all. Absolutely batty. I've seen the commercial more than once. With conventional rearview and sideview mirrors, if a car comes up beside you there is a blind spot where you can't see the overtaking car to the driver's left. The rearview mirror they are selling eliminates the blind spot so you can always see an overtaking car and know not to move to the left because if you did, you'd hit the overtaking car. My car has a sensor that warns me of an overtaking car - shows up in the sideview mirror as a blinking orange cars warning me not to change lanes to the left. Very helpful. 5 Link to comment
