Just Another Day

My brain has been farting at me all week now about something. I swear, I MUST have smoked some good dope or ate some wicked glue while pregnant. My child isn't normal! Here is why.

He is not a kid that sits in front of the TV, but he will drop whatever it is that he was doing and speed-crawl towards the TV when he hears certain commercials. The normal "kid" ones like the diapers or pull-ups, with their little catchy jingles, cute kids and the giggling, but then there are the other ones that make me wonder.

Female shaving products, yeast infections & TAMPON COMMERCIALS!!!

What 1 year old BOY can't tear his eyes away from the TV when a TAMPON commercial starts. He will dance to the music and OOH & AHH when he sees the girls frolicking on the beach, dressed in white, feeling free after being protected by cotton stuffed in their crotch! At the end of the commercial, he will look at me then point to the TV as if to say...
"Did you see that Mommy???"
How does that time of the month make a girl wanna party? Let's be serious here. I certainly don't feel the need to dress in white and party every 21 days, OR chuckle about getting caught passing tampons around in class, as the teacher & male students are oblivious to what it is wrapped in the pretty plastic. She's a pearl girl!!! Shhhhh...don't tell! I think the worst one yet is the young couple in a row boat when it springs a leak. As he pisses around in his 2 feet of space looking for a bucket or whatever, she comes to the rescue by pulling the WHOLE BOX out of her purse, opening it, taking one out and shoves the damn tampon in the hole, closes and puts the box BACK into her purse just as he turns around. To make it even cheesier he's all...SWEET! and they proceed to hold hands. Very romantic moment there I tell ya!

Now the reason I bring this up is because I for one, think every one of those commercials are STUPID and need to stop. I don't see ridiculous commercials embarrassing men about jock itch & whatever crotch issues they may have. Ok, so maybe there is one MINOR one for the men. The hair loss commercials. Some of those are pretty lame too. Reason why I say it's minor is because it doesn't cause them pain, bloating, ruin their clothing OR make them wear fat clothes & grannie panties all the while huddled in the fetal position for a week. Hell, some women find balding men sexy! We all know what goes on with those lovely monthly cycles...must we go as far as to make stupid commercials about it? What will that accomplish? Will the commercials take my cramps away? If not, then I don't care! Also, they are on every SECOND commercial! You just cannot escape them. Doesn't make me run out there and buy their product. They all suck...the whole lot of them!

GAWD!

But the bigger question is WHY do they have to make them so bloody (no pun intended) colorful & fun that my 1 year old son can't take his focus off the TV? I guess the one thing these people are doing right is catching the eyes or their viewers...even if they are a bunch of toddlers.

Now, I'm not too sure as to why I rambled about all this. Maybe I had a point in mind and it got lost. Or maybe I just wanted to vent to my few fans who are willing to read this crap and keep coming back for more. (Ya'll must be bored, but thanks all the same!) Who knows.

To prevent any further brain leakage maybe I should stuff a couple tampons in my ears and dance around the room singing "I feel pretty, oh so pretty....."

**Hmmm...cure for memory loss? I should patent that!
