I thought it was cute too. I don't even consider that even close to a bump or grind. It was a cute dance. I can't imagine choosing not to go to a store over something of little significance. Sounds like you don't really shop there anyway so you aren't missing much I guess. I haven't been in KMart in years. They just tore down the Kmart that was closest to my house. Their parking lot has been empty for the past couple of years.

I guess pregnant women are supposed to just stay hidden at home.


Not at all, for heaven's sake. My personal opinion is that those gyrations belong in a men's club, not on TV for kids to see.

There was nothing wrong with the way that they danced. That was so not the "bump & grind". And if kiddies are going to be scarred for life just by seeing that commercial, then they must live in a cave, because I'm sure that they see much "worse" in their daily life.

Re: K-Mart Commercial During the Holidays

For that level of store, I like K Mart, I only wish there were more around... So their ads push the envelope a tad. They're trying to remain viable and their ads don't really make all that much difference to me one way or the other.

It was a fine commercial. Unless you are Mormon. But then, you should not be watching television.

I just watched it; hadn't seen it because I don't watch commercials. I had to google it - but I think it is VULGAR.

Re: K-Mart Commercial During the Holidays

They've been doing this with their commercials for a while. I think the first one was the one about shipping pants, and it probably got so much media attention they decided to continue with the 2 Joe Boxer ads. I guess it's the policy "no ink is bad ink." I don't care for the ads, because that type of humor doesn't appeal to me -- but many people think it's fun, and again it seems to generate plenty of chatter about Kmart.Wink

Re: K-Mart Commercial During the Holidays

I think the K Mart ads are crude. I guess there's no such thing as a "lady" anymore, or a gentleman for that matter. The ads they ran last fall with the children, made them sound very uneducated. Just what type of people are they trying to market to? Our K Mart has some really nice things. They don't need to run those types of ads. It makes me have a negative attitude about the store, so I don't bother with them.
