And I have to say I'm disturbed by the female friend who steals the "boyfriend" right from under her friend's nose.<br />That entire commercial just seems off.TeawithFrodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739446950032068589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-11977504772789650942011-03-15T17:44:36.603-04:002011-03-15T17:44:36.603-04:00I fully support birth control advertising that tar...I fully support birth control advertising that targets teenagers in that way, but yeah - it is a little insulting from a mother's perspective. <br /><br />Let's face it, we are very rarely represented in the media in a positive light ...unless its a Mr Clean commercial, THEN moms are THE BEST. *rolling my eyes*Farrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337745395320753878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-66505566068417666922011-03-15T17:15:40.579-04:002011-03-15T17:15:40.579-04:00I hate that commerical, too!!

I agree, throw in a woman turning away from "painful cramps" and buying a "pain-free vacation" or something (idk, I'm not in marketing) or a woman with children smiling and chosing "my family is complete" and it would work really well in the context of the commerical.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101142137510490314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-41659129103875332872011-03-15T17:00:42.037-04:002011-03-15T17:00:42.037-04:00Ha ha!

I think 6 times in 6 years (3 kids). Just cracks me up, the things ad campaigns use to get people to buy their products!XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-27603825945162670632011-03-15T12:29:37.005-04:002011-03-15T12:29:37.005-04:00They can have their trips to Paris.

I'd much rather have that than a vacation with a bunch of crepe-eating snobs. In fact, I can cook crepes at home and feed them to my kids IN MY PAJAMAS. That's way better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-11863592286996596262011-03-15T11:32:25.321-04:002011-03-15T11:32:25.321-04:00heh.

Yeah, a lot of commercials are insipid and love to throw moms under the harried bus ;) There is a commercial for a brand of IUD where the lady's with her kids (who are Being A Handful so she's a little frazzled) and the voice over is her saying, "oh boy, two is ENOUGH for me!"... then she's watching them be sweet, and you hear her "think": "Two kids are enough... for now..." (of course, this is while the ad extolls on how easy it would be to remove said device if you decide you want to be pregnant again).<br /><br />But yeah, what is with the "your life is OVER when you have kids"? not all that lovely a sentiment for the kids to hear either... yeah, your mom and dad have no life since they have to take care of you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
