@grandma2pkmh  I so agree, this commercial takes it too far.  I really don't think they needed to go there.  Literally.  👙

This Verizon FIOS commercial a few years ago was pulled/banned after many complaints poured in.  The commercial started out showing a very young girl made up to look precocious.

These commercials never bothered me.  Even the gush informs that it can be a problem that requires the right product, possibly more informative for the younger female viewer.  Maybe older females are more bothered, I don't know.  Why make more out of it than what it is?  It's over in seconds.  Almost painless.

Some of you have forgotten the onslaught of the Cialis and Viagra commercials that were ridiculous.  The visual by the couple pitching a tent was quite intended. So yes, we've had our share and more of male issues.  All are problematic issues that many people have concerns about, if they are disgusting, sorry, they are human issues and I have no problem with them being normalized.  Made silly, not so much -- but often that's the only way some people will accept the message even if laughing at it, like the two bathtubs next to each other outdoors and the tent. 

 

Maybe individually such messages are palatable.  But if taken into a discussion, or in a room where others are also receiving it, there's some need to tee-hee or be outraged.  Some kind of social pressure goes into play.  Just guessing, trying to make sense of it all.

I don't know about you but I'm waiting for the day someone thinks it might be a good idea to demonstrate the proper way to put on a condom.  Yuck all around.  Talk about pushing the envelop with commercials.

For the sake of convenience, I always record anything I watch .... to watch when I have the time.  You can watch a one hour show in 43 minutes and FF to avoid all those stupid commercials.   To me, that's a good thing.

Thank Goodness they haven't "discovered" where Preparation H is applied.

 

Or we'd be treated to that demonstration in living color!

I notice a pattern with these kinds of commercials....it always is around FEMALE ISSUES....

 

POISE IN HER PANTS... for incontinence...

 

The "gush"Commercial. For feminine protection...


The three women  shaving the bush in front of them for the shavers... or the new Venus commercial...

 

I rarely  see commercials for Men  issues....they are far and few. And they have PLENTY of issues! 

 

I wonder why?

If you object to these commercials, you shouldn't hesitate to let the companies know.  There have been several that I've contacted and the ads didn't last long.  It's not that I was a influencer but maybe me + 5,000 other people were.  It's so easy to go to their website, find contact us and blast away.  They don't know they've gone too far unless you tell them.

@Kachina624 @your so right.   People think that one person doesn't t make a difference so they don't make there voice heard .  I learned years ago from a company I worked for that 1 complaint is more then likely representing that person plus thousands of others that just didn't contact them.  I e contacted companies and have gotten results ,  not always ,  but often.
