Did anyone catch the Dr. Pepper ads shown during the playoffs yesterday?
The first ad features the song "Stacy's mom" (...has got it going on), which, if you have heard it, is sung by a hormone-driven teen who flirts back and forth with his girlfriend's mom. The Dr. Pepper ad shows a group of boys about 10-12 years old playing in a park when a mini-van drives up. Very close shots of the driver as she gets out of the van, a sneaker, keys jingling, a "tease" as the wind blows her blouse a few inches above her belt. Subtle, sexy stuff.
The kids stop and look as she pulls the side door open and pops the top on a cooler of Dr. Pepper.
The kids smile and race to the cooler.
The last few quick shots have the words from the song "I'm in love with Casey's mom..." one child gazes reverently up at the woman, who gives back a knowing smirk.
It was just CREEPY. Gender test! I can't imagine this commercial with a leering guy and some pre-pubescent girls. Ewwww.....
Anyway, the "Diet Doctor Pepper" commercial shows a fellow screaming as he tumbles down a mountain on a snowboard. He crashes in a heap in front of a couple of teenagers, one who says "I think your getting it, dad". Dad, flat on his face and covered with snow, manages to move only his hand in a "thumbs-up". Just another incompetent clumsy dad ad.
Anyway, I was struck by the contrast of the two ads.
Considering all the older teachers with young boys crap going around, this ad is in poor taste. I saw it and thought it was way too weird myself.
snot is running down his nose,
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Where were those teachers when I was in school?
Almost didn't click on this thread, since the topic is tv related, and I couldn't tell anyone what is going on as far as "programming".
A tube for select videos is all for us. Weaning myself off of NCAA, NFL football was easier than I thought it would be (21 yrs ago), still watch some HS games though. Besides being loaded with "programming", tubes are time robbers. I look back and regret that I didn't spend more time with relatives that have passed away.
We had a neighbor about 40+ yrs ago (I was too young to remember him) that took his cattle to Peoria, and "stayed" overnight. Syphlis killed him.
"This particular mom's "got it goin' on" because she's the one who has the Dr. Pepper. The kids like her because she's showing up with their favorite beverage when they can really use it. You know, kinda like the mom who made hot chocolate for everyone after a hard day of snowball fighting. Makes sense?"
Nope... it would only make sense and be funny if the mom was smokin' hot and then the kids totally ignored her and went after the soft drink instead.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
MP3 Stacy's dad is really kind o rad.
We sound like we could be related. The only thing "live" I ever see is what I see streaming on S-Span's website.
I am so fortunate that my daughter has (so far) not been inundated with tons of inane advertisements and mind-numbing stupid programming. Of course, she gets in trouble for not pulling her nose out of her books, but that's a better problem to deal with.
We bought the 1st season of "Little House" on DVD. It's a great way to watch it, especially since each episode is over and done in less than 45 minutes. What a great show. Both daughters (9 and 4) love it. We need to get some other seasons.
BWAHAAAAA!

M'n'M's anyone?
Ah yes, the "tramp stamp". Sadly, still with us, but unlike 1995, they no longer airbrush them out.
Very expertly done, but too straight forward. No surprising comic twists.
Whoops. C-Span.
I remember watching "Little House" when it was new on broadcast TV ... makes me feel old! It was a well-done show, especially in the early seasons. Maybe I'll look for some episodes in the library later this week.
I've trouble with my kids and books, too! Back in Oklahoma, the homeschool regulation was (in effect), "If the state shows up at your door, the children have to demonstrate their education." I used to joke that it would great if they would STOP demonstrating their education long enough to chew their food! Last week my oldest used my Ann Coulter book to cover a pot of soup on the stove ... I could have stomped her :-).
I only know what I read on Free Republic :-).

I get it, but I still wish the mom was hot.
I'd have to agree with you assessment of Ms. Hunter - yummy. Check out this vid of Trace Adkins - click the one called "One Hot Mamma" ... and while you're there, grab some tissues and watch "Arlington."
