Obnoxious

First off, I am feeling much better in the b**bie area.  Thank god.

Now - my topic for today is that horrible ad from Just for Men hair dye featuring a father, his two daughters and his hot date.  Has anyone else seen this ad?  We watch a lot of football around here, which means I am already sick of viagra, cialis, and all the rest of those ads.  But the one I truly hate is the Just for Men one.



The ad starts of with two little girls (maybe 5 and 8 years old?) getting up the courage to give their dad a bottle of hair dye.  They finally do and tell him "It's time" and "he would be a really good catch for someone". ICK!!!!  The next scene is the dad on a date with an attractive woman and he takes a photo of them smiling at the restaurant with his camera phone.  The final scene is the two girls sitting on a chair together checking their (?!) cell phone and smiling and giggling and congratulating themselves on giving him the hair dye when they see the photo of ol' dad about to get lucky. And the slogan "Stay in the Game" - BARF!!!!

Okay - this ad is wrong in SO MANY WAYS!!!  Who took the girls to buy the hair dye?  The lady he is on the date with?  Did they order it online?  Where is their Mom?  If she is supposed to be dead and that is why it "is time", because they need a new Mommy, ugh.  Or do they think that dad is sad and needs some action?  Because he was just sitting around reading a newspaper? (Horrors!)  And he takes a photo of himself on a date and sends it to them?  GROSS!!!  And are they home alone waiting for cell phone updates on his date?!?!


I get more annoyed each time I see that commercial.
