**sigh**...The recent animated commercial for toilet paper that gets left behind is in poor taste. Momma Bear tries to clean Baby Bear's butt using a broom then a vacuum. Ack! it's a dingleberry commercial!
You do have a remote control for your TV right? Change the channel dumbass.
I can't wait until they build and race a tampon or a maxi pad car.

Nope. Companies have a right to market a better product for women. I am completely fine with that. Now, all the erectile dysfunction ads need to go!
I agree with the OP in that I don't really want to constantly see commercials talking about health problems. There are many things which are "facts of life" that I don't need to hear about on TV. I don't want to see an old guy complaining that he can't get an erection, I don't want to hear old people talking about the fact that they shit their pants and need to wear diapers, I don't want to hear a woman complaining about her yeast infection and discharge, and I don't want to see a couple riding bikes smiling because they found a drug that clears up their STD related genital lesions. I'm trying to eat dinner!
I think it's funny that when I'm walking in a stairwell with women, sometimes I get a whiff of a femenine hygeine product, such as Maxi pads. Remember when you were a kid and you'ld be in the linen closet, under the sink and there was a distinct odor from the box of tampons or pads that were kept there? Well then I'd say, "Remember when you were a kid and you'ld be in the linen closet, under the sink and there was a distinct odor from the box of tampons or pads that were kept there? That's what I smell, now." The women look at you all mortified.
Sometimes I'll lighten the mood up by hypothesizing that women use pads as a filter so that they can fart without anyone noticing, but I can. Then I claim confidently that men have an extra stink gland and that's why we can clear an elevator. But it isn't our fault.

Heh, I thought I was the only one who could pick up on that scent. I notice it a couple yards away sometimes. I am like wolverine with my enhanced senses, rofl.

So if these commercials are indeed appropriate to some of you. Would it be a ppropriate for me to walk up to a coworker or woman on the street and ask "Hey have you heard about these new ultra maxis with wings? You should try them out" Or ask "What do you use pads or pons? What brand?"
No that's not appropriate! Basically these commercials are making light of things people don't want to be public knowledge. If there were only advertised in like Cosmo or Lifetime it would be a different story. But If it's primetime NBC when I'm trying to watch the Office, maybe heaving a snack as well, the last image I want put in my head is this!
It would be a different story if they just said the product name and that was tht. But instead they go into how it works and whatnot.
I also don't like seeing couples having the freedom to rollerskate because their genital herpes were cleared up. Because in reality you know that wife is pissed her husband cheated on her and brought home herpes, and their relationship is really on the rocks because of the big H.

Annoyed, sure. Disgusted, not in the least.
Obviously we need more mandatory sex-ed in schools. I got the "disgust" out of me in middle school.

I imagined the theme from "2001" when it started.
I think Stanley Kubrick should make a movie about the OP.
Instead of crawling on the floor reaching for breasts, the OP could be looking up at a tampon string. :thumbsup:
"A Clockwork Red"
It would give a whole new meaning to "Singing in the Rain". :laugh:
Spelling =/= Grammar
Also, you sound too sensitive to such ads. But this is coming from someone who sees a lot of stuff so maybe it's just me.
Poor analogy. Would you talk about condoms in the workplace (you did give them your seal of approval remember). You don't talk about a lot of things at the workplace. Also, your post about what it would sound like with a woman coming in your room is absolutely hilarious.
