Thing that bothers me the most about commercials is along the lines of what Matt was talking about. Only it’s not so much the blatant sexuality of the ads. It’s the products themselves. There’s been an ad here in Vegas for the last few months where a female comedian is doing a standup routine about PMS or PMDD or whatever. At the end of the routine she screams at the top of her lungs that the reason she’s grumpy is “BECAUSE MY UTERUS IS FALLING OUT!” The other day I almost shot my TV. That commercial, plus male enhancement (especially the one with “grinning Bob” the resident ED pervert), hemmoroid creams, douches, creams, pads, ad infintum, are all on during the supper hour and the early evening. Then there are the cute toilet paper bears with “pieces” on their tushes. Then when you think you’ve settled down to a relatively simple, quiet late night viewing of Forensic Files or similar stuff, here comes the loud John Holmesish porno style intro music with Cox Cable advertising their porno channel! I’m sick of it!

I’m probably not helping the infant apparel situation by buying a friend’s daughter a shirt that says, Daddy Drinks Because I Cry Too Much, and a pacifier that has vampire teeth on the outside.

Scott, throw a dart at a map of Florida and you’ll hit Swampstench. That’s my name for this God forsaken hell hole of a state. This summer, everyday is in the 90s in both temperature and humidity percentage.

most everything is aimed at adults. We actually don’t live in a very child friendly society. Sounds weird to say in a culture that has entire stores dedicated to children’s clothing and toys, but if you look closely, what we are doing is forcing them to be little adults by how we dress them and what we buy them to play with.

It’s already hard to shop for my girl and she’s ONE. So many of the shirts talk about boys and how they are either cute or they suck. Not on my daughter. I would also like a pair of shorts that covers her diaper, but hey, I’m a dreamer.

Children’s movies are bad about marketing to adults too. Somehow, Chuck Jones managed to make a product that appealed to children and the adults who care for them, but it’s impossible now. There are a few shining examples, but the likes of Shrek have really made dr zoon and I very cautious when it comes to letting our children go to the movies.

Rufus, we dvr everything. We got so tired of the commercials making for some very awkward questions.
