I saw the above commercial a few days ago and nearly crapped my pants at its blatant sexism… and general stoopidness. Seriously, Crystal Light? You show two women who are apparently soooo successful and amazing, they’ll never have time for a “real” life and always be alone (::sobs!::). Thankfully, one of them is smart enough to drink Crystal Light just in case they crash land on an island and there’s hot men there. Whew! I was really worried for a moment there… Continue reading
I spent last week hanging out with the family in Little Rock, which is also where my best friend is attending medical school. TWO FOR ONE DEAL!!! Woot! Woot! One night, my bestie and I had dinner and then hung out at her place reading magazines and chatting. Oh and she also tried to indoctrinate me with an insatiable love for Dr. Who. Since she’s an evil mastermind, her plan worked, but more on that later this week… Sufficed to say, it was awesome night.
Except for this atrocious ad I came across in Glamour that nearly ruined my mindless bliss of looking at shiny things I can’t afford or fit into.

So, apparently Reebok’s Easytone shoes don’t make your ass look so amazingly awesome that it’s totally okay that you get sexually objectified?!? I mean, this makes me super sad. Shoes made exclusively to attract the male gaze? There’s nothing but good that can come of that, I say.
Except, according to the Federal Trade Commission, wasting $80 + on shoes that don’t do anything special except be a shoe.
If you are a victim of Reebok’s false advertising, and general bad taste in commercials, you can click here to fill out a form for a refund.
So, first things first. I am not a Ford Motors fan. They are a bit too Nazi for me… I just can’t get the taste of their past “indiscretions” out of my mouth. Of course, as I’m considering getting a VW, I realize that this is ridiculous and inconsistent reasoning… I think I just don’t like Fords.
Anyhow, Ford recently released a commercial where they touted how they had gotten out of debt without ANY help from the government, like those other pansy bailout taking fools! Of course, this isn’t totally true because 1) as Elizabeth Warren says, no one does it by themselves and 2) Ford took federal loans, even if they didn’t take “the bailout.” Apparently, though, the commercial was an effective enough anti-White House message, that Obama asked Ford to pull the ad.

The Boy and I were watching our morning episode of Holmes on Homes (contracting done right is soooo sexy!) and, as expected, the ads were targeted towards the Home Depot weekend crowd, including this Moen commercial.
Twice a day. Seven days a week. 365 days a year. Moen is here to help you kill the earth… one beautifully wasted water drop at a time.
For seriousness, Moen–you’re supposed to turn off the water when brushing!!! Isn’t that, like, Save the Earth 101?
