I can't stand it - reminds me of prune juice. A couple of my kids like it, though, and drink it sometimes when we're out. Yuck.
Dads who snowboard are cool (myself being the exception: I am a dad who rides, although I am decidedly uncool). Dads who try to be cool by snowboarding are not cool.
I missed the commercial because I was too busy fast-forwarding it on the TiVo. Haven't watched commercials in about two years now. But I do share your sentiment, especially about the portrayal of bumbling idiot white male fathers. It's ridiculous.
She is a bit pert, isn't she?
ok dad, whatever ;~D
Oh, I'd forgotten about that one! Indeed a good one!
True, and, yes, it might be vain, but I thought it was interesting enough. I looked into the matter and did a web search and found some other mentions of the topic.
I didn't see it the issue at FR and thought it was an interesting issue. I passed it around a little, and maybe one of the columnists will pick it up.
Well, you know.....all those Cheerios do have holes in them! :-)
I saw the ad and thought it was ok.
It does seem like they run at every commercial break. I don't know, they must be selling a lot of the stuff.
If I had a quarter for every time I've heard that phrase, I'd have a lot of quarters.
There's a steady drumbeat to mainstream pedophilia in this country.
I'm not surprised!
What do you expect to follow the erection pill commercials that seem to be obligatory for every break in the program?
Thanks - if only I were in your state ...
>>>>What creeped me out was how unattractive and asexual the mother was. The commercial made no sense at all because no kid would ever be hot for this mom.<<<<
>>Exactly, the woman in the commercial isn't attractive at all. It's just another dumb Dr. Pepper commercial that makes no sense.<<
That's the humor of the ad... It's not the woman is all that hot, or that the kids want to have sex with a grown-up woman. It's that to a kid, what makes "Stacy's Mom" hot isn't what the "Stacy's Mom" video is all about -sex- but the Mom who brings the best soft drinks.
It's flipping a pervert video about a Mom who supposedly would be a great sex partner into a less-than-pervert video about a Mom who brings what kids that age really want from women that age... good soda.
BTW, there's a lot of things wrong about the video:
1. The song isn't about children lusting after adult women. The singer of the song is probably supposed to be college-aged; only in the video does the first person become about 12.
2. The daughter -- also barely pubescent -- is sexually completing with her mother.
3. The video features a fantasy about Stacy's Mom being a stripper, climaxing with Stacy walking in on the first-person character as he's about to, well, climax in his fantasy.
There's a good reason Dr Pepper reminds you of prune juice. You've heard of Cherry Coke? Dr Pepper is prune cola.
Depends. It makes perfect sense as a parody - assuming you've seen the music video. If you haven't seen the video (vast majority of viewers I suspect), then I agree it probably wouldn't make sense and would seem stupid.
Just like just about everything else on teeeveee. Far too many (stupid) ads, far too little substance. I don't bother. And if the Arachnids win the Stuporbowl against the Horsefeathers -- it isn't going to affect my job one bit the next morning. Yawn.
... bowl of cheerios.
