It's 1.15 pm Mountain time, and I'm watching TNT. They're showing The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford.
And they've just shown an ad for Enzyte, the "natural male enhancement" pill or whatever it is.
Some guy with a huge smile on his face - but otherwise looking like a department store dummy, as if the rest of his brain is fried - is walking around with women giving him yearning -have sex-with-me-now looks. As always, these commercials glorify animal-sex, not romantic sex.
And who is watching these movies at 1.17 pm in the afternoon. Admittedly it's a school day, so those kids who actually go to school won't see it. But what about all the drop-outs?
Last night, I was flipping through channels and stopped briefly on the Family channel. The Family channel - a channel that is presumably supposed to be showing movies and TV shows suitable for viewing by the entire family. And what was the commercial they were showing, during a movie that would be watched by kids as well as parents?
It was a Victoria Secret commercial! The one where all these women are dressed in skimpy bras and panties, and lying on the floor and squirming around and acting like they're in heat.
Definitely not suitable for kids, yet there it was.

Sylvan - Commercial
Sylvan is a chain of private education facilities to teach your kids math and English, if they are lagging behind in real school.
Nothing wrong with that - more power to them.
But their latest commercial is soooo offensive. Some teacher is giving a lesson, when this smug teenage boy stands up and starts talking about how good Sylvan is. Okay fine - does it matter if the spokesperson is a boy or a girl? (Well, considering that girls always do well in math until they reach teenage years and then plummet precipitously, and that there is therefore this myth that girls are no good at math, perhaps a girl spokesperson would have been better in order to recruit girls to the programs.)
But what I found really offensive is that the boy is standing between two teenage girls, and these girls are looking at him - not appreciative at what he's saying regarding math, but just looking at him with moon-calf eyes as if they're in love with him. So is that the subliminal message being sent to girls? "Join Sylvan and there will be boys there that you can get for boyfriend, because having a boyfriend is soooo much more important than being able to do math!""
Very sad.

Maybelline Long Lash Commercial
So Maybelline has this new product. Women can add half an inch or something to their lashes (why? I've never understood it, I confess).
But does this commercial feature the long eye-lashes? No...we get closeups of the women's bare leg, and of the shadows around her breasts as she zips up a dress...
Sex...sex...sex...
The message here apparently is if you have long lashes, you look sexy and you can get some sex.
Just what today's girls need to hear.

America Ain't Got Nuthin on the Rest of the World
Being American and living in the US, of course most of my posts here are about American commercials and Tv, but it must be said that the US - at least right now - doesn't have anything on other countries.
Japan, for example, has gameshows on during prime time in which men compete to give fellatio to women. There's go-kart races where the woman is dressed in bondage-victim gear and the male drivers are the bondage- makers... disgusting... but an example of how the Japanese actually think about women...
(They have comic books called Hentai which are the same thing - young teen boys being mean to young teen girls, who accept it with no problems.)
Sad, sad, sad.

Lego Friends - Toys and Commercials
Lego has lots of fun toys for girls and boys - underwater world, harry potter, space...
And they could have come up with something .... four girl superheros or adventurers or something. Instead, it's 4 girls who like to cook and give their friends makeovers and crap like that. Typical girls only want to do makeup and eat and gossip and search for boyfriends. They don't want to explore and solve mysteries have have adventures, oh no!
Blech.

Fedex Golf Commercial
Watching the Northern Trust Open on CBS.
I've seen this commercial a few times. A father is strapping his golf clubs tenderly into his car, while his wife and little daughter watch.
It's not funny - how many men feel that way about their clubs as opposed to their kids? Probably quite a few.
There's a similar commercial - guy wants to send his golf clubs but wants a test run first - his wife's wedding dress and his "cold fusion" invention. Yes, in a sense it's "over the top" so you know it's supposed to be funny, but it just isn't.
Many a woman in a loveless marriage has fallen foul of the idea that if she could just present her husband with a child - preferably a son - that would cure the marriage, and of course it never does. All it does is drive them further apart because woman concentrates all her love on the child, man feels neglected and goes and finds himself a mistress.
If husband and wife aren't well-matched to begin with, having a child is just a bad idea.

"You had sex with me and my father: Who's the baby's father?"
That is the headline I saw for the Maury show as I looked through my TV's Guide channel.
And I'm thinking to myself: Who cares who the baby's father is? Dump the slut who had sex with both you and your dad.
There was another headline a couple of days ago. I can't remember which show it was on - a guy's show whom I didnt recognize, not that that's saying much as I don't watch any of that crap.
But it was some similar headline - my husband had sex with me and my mother, should I divorce him?
And I'm thinking.... Yes. Divorce him, and your slut of a mom, and go live among normal decent people. That is if you can find any.
One wonders these days if you really can.
I mean, a man - or a woman - having an affair with a friend while still married. That's somewhat understandable. But having an affair with a family member - that's downright sick.
And the fact that they even have to ask.... should I stay with this person... that's what scary. Of course you shouldn't. That behavior is unacceptable!
But there are thousands - hundreds of thousands - of men and women who put up with partners cheating with family memmbers, I guess if these crap shows are anything to go buy... it just makes you despair for the human race.
