His MeeMaw called him Moonpie

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A California woman says a laundry detergent ad offended her so much that she contacted her local congressman and even sent a message to Hillary Clinton.
The ad was in a Sacramento newspaper. It reads "smells like Meemaw" with a bag of potpourri above it. Next to it sits the detergent Gain with the line, "smells like yee-haw."
The ad left one grandmother madder than a spin cycle.
"I think I was particularly offended, maybe for me, because my grandchildren call me MeMaw, but I was like, when did grandmothers start smelling bad?" said Randee Reidy.
"I've contacted my local congressman, my state senator. I've sent a message to Hillary Clinton. I think she might be interested, and I don't know I think I'll just keeping kind of going with it, because it's not right," she said.
The newspaper pulled the ad.. and she got a letter from Procter and Gamble that said, "Please know that we thoroughly test our advertising with a broad group of consumers before airing it."
But no apology.
On Wednesdays, when the social security checks arrive, the local grocery store is chock a block with Mee Maws.
And a good number of them smell really rank, a stale urine stench that is overpowering. Too bad they can no longer notice it themselves.
I’ll take Gain over Mee Maw any day.
So, you ignorant idiot, just because YOU were offended by a stupid commercial, YOU feel it rises to the level of congress and the senate.
Not to mention Hillary, who, as we all suspect, smells like ass, anyway.
Have you no life?
Do you get up in the morning and LOOK for something to piss you off?
Are you SERIOUS, you dizzy old bat?
Sheesh!
The very original Gain of the pre-2000 days smelled really good. It just smelled clean. Whatever they have done to it makes the smell stick to clothes so that you can’t wash it out. To me it smells like an old moth-balled closet. I called Gain to complain about the smell and the lady was shocked that I didn’t like it. Now I use Cheer.
Not to be outdone by the MeeMaws who buy their Industrial Strength Old Lady Cologne by the barrel.
some one got up on the wrong side of the bed pan
I’ve always hated all the stupid “cutesy” names people use for grandparents.
Come on Freepers. If Me Maw smells like potpourri, she smells good. If the California loon dos not know that o.k. But you Freepers should know it smells good.
and Christians are outraged over the piss Christ- but we allow that free speech is a right- Get over it Mee Maw
How did you call your grandparents?
Regards,
Titles like grandma & grandpa are ok, I guess the others like Mee-maw & nana sound too much like baby talk. Can you picture a grown man saying he was going to mee-maw's?
Gain is explicitly marketed to Hispanics, who evidently like strong-smelling detergents.
mémé = French nickname for grandmother.
The real reason Hillary kept the press roped legions behind her stanky potpourri odor during her waddlings in that parade last summer.
It is the smell, man, that funky memaw smell!
Word is Huma is a paid quiffer whose sole purpose is to mask Hillary’s stink.
This is why these two are seemingly inseparable.
His MeeMaw called him Moonpie
Stupid outrage.
You don’t like the ad, write to the company. Stop buying the detergent.
Write your Congressman? What. The. Hell.?
