Say Cheese... Now Smile!

Has anyone see the Tampax commercial where a guy and a girl are out in a boat and the boat springs a leak... so while her date looks back to find something to fix it with, the girl takes a tampon, sticks it in the hole, pulls the applicator out, and lo and behold, the tampon stops the leak!!! OH. MY. GOSH.

Its like that other Tampax commercial where the girl is at a party (wearing white pants... WHY ARE YOU WEARING WHITE PANTS!?) drops her prized tampon down the bathroom window so she chains together the other tampons and sticks a pad on the bottom and uses that to pull her own tampon up from the ground. Do you know how many tampons you're wasting just for your ONE? And the fact that she's a guest in someone's bathroom, wasting THEIR supply. Now what's going to happen to the girl who lives there when she needs it? White pants girl... you suck!

Its all so very disturbing. Do we really need to know that tampons, if needed, can stop your boat from sinking? That you can escape from a burning building by turning it into a parachute? I imagine that's what MacGuyver would do with it. If it can plug up a boat.. then by golly, its good enough for me! Its like those commercials where the animated bears use toilet paper in the forest. What!?! Why are the bears using toilet paper in the first place? Does it sell? Really? Do people go to the grocery and say "I want toilet paper that bears use."

I like the stuff that the angelic babies are peddling off. :) Who can resist that!?!
