Why do they play tampon commercials when you're eating?

[AMDJunkie]

It never fails! And the phrases "maximum protection" and "heavy days" give me mental images that not only wants to make me puke up my lunch, but have given me severe mental scarring. Can I sue for that?

 

[Yeeny]

I think the not so fresh feeling commercials are worse myself. I think they should just tell those people to take a bath, problem solved.

Oh, and why couldn't you sue? Everybody elses does now!

 

[UberNeuman]

Eating what, kitten?

 

[AMDJunkie]

I need a 100% chance of wining in court or else I'd have to hire a decent lawyer who will take all of the settlement money.

AMD,

This is precisely why the remote control was invented. I've become quite adept at dodging feminine hygiene commercials before they get to to the graphic parts. As you gain experience you'll be able to immediately recognize the horror that is coming, and switch channels before it is too late.

Ah. most of them only take 30%. You will still have 70% to buy a vcr, so you can watch tapes, and avoid any future scarring brought on by network tv.

 

[AMDJunkie]

No, pizza! WTF would I eat kitten? Too much fur!

<< Can I sue for that? >>



I doubt I would try and sue a company that makes products that get shoved up people's bodily orifices. Common sense tells me they have REALLY good lawyers already.

 

[AMDJunkie]

I didn't have a chance Russ! I too have become quite good at it, but I had just turned on the TV and the first things to come out of the TV was &quot;Maximum protection for those heavy days...&quot;. I immediatly turned it off and put my head in between my knees to keep me from hurling. Then I rolled up into a ball, shivering from what horrors were lurking in my mind. I'm feeling better now, but who knows when it'll strike again?

Tell me about it. Those commercials always seem to come on at the worst times. Unfortunately, I've got quite a bit of mental scarring. Some things really don't need to be advertised. As a guy, I can only guess. But I'd hope that every woman doesn't need a commercial to tell her how to deal with those feminine issues.

 

[Russ]

That's why you should always leave the TV ON. Than it becomes impossible for them to sneak up on you.

I don't think I could be in commercials.

I could never stare a camera in the face and say:

&quot;When my hemorrhoids flare up&quot;

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

Hey AMD, next time it happens when you are eating, just think of the big, fat, old ladies that use them, and what that would smell like. It should cure you of the overwhelming urge to vomit... and very quickly.

 

[Shudder]

Whatever happened to Jock Itch commercials? They used to have those all the time when I was a kid

 

[UberNeuman]

Does anyone remember that diet candy that was sold about the late '70 -- it was called Ayds.

No I'm not kidding -- Ayds! It was supposed to help you lose weight:Q

 

[Capn]

I think the commericials for Nad's are pretty funny.

AMDjunkie;

Train yourself to defend your sensitivities using euphemisms; with practice, when you hear one thing your mind immediately replaces it with something else.

Next time you hear 'tampon', just replace the word with 'vampire tea bag'.



;Q

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

I love the Nad's commercials too

&quot;Made with all natural ingredients&quot; LOL
&quot;I named it after my daughter&quot; LMAO
&quot;I use Nad's on my arms, legs, and even my face! And you eat it! Its made with the best ingredients I can find. From my house, to yours.&quot; LMFAO

 

[UG]

I imagine the Nads company won't be hiring a team of cheer leaders to help sell the product.

 

[AMDJunkie]

One woman says to another, &quot;You got Nads!&quot; That line always kills me!

UG: If I think that they're cotton drainplugs, it helps releave the nausea.

So, how many males here aren't embarassed to show up at the checkout counter with your wife's/gf's feminine hygiene products, with or without her being in the store?

 

[Androck99]

What's with the tampon ads with no women in them? There are some with a bunch of buff guys frolicking or some with medeival armor and other guy-related stuff...WTF!?

 

[ltk007]

Anyone ever been watching TV with your mom and a condom commercial comes on?

 

[Redneck]

Ick! I hate those fricking commercials. At least restrict them to women's channels and magazines!

I should proofread my posts

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

Hell, I think they should how a few dozen models with one in, so I take see how well it preforms under real world conditions. How can I buy something for my GF if I don't know how well it performs?
