I think the Miller and Nike ads are two of the most entertaining commercials I've seen in a while. Pardon me while I stop dragging my knuckles on the ground.

If you're going to criticize a commercial, at least get the facts straight.(not you Kattracks, the guy who wrote the article) The "let's make out" line is still in the commercial. When played on cable, it's in, when played on regular television, it's left out.

Actually, this ad doesn't bother me a bit. It's so over the top, no one can take it seriously, if they have any sense of humor at all.

Under the different strokes category, the current ad that does bug me is the Smirnoff Ice commercial where a bunch of heroin chic retards total out a laundromat and start dancing. Am I the only one who's noticing that more and more commercials (music videos have done it forever) that equate vandalism with having fun?

There's an interesting Capital One (credit card issuer) ad airing these days, that sells the queer agenda as hard as it does consumer credit. In 30 seconds, we're treated to: sexual role reversals (weak, feckless man; strong, competent woman); transvestism (the man is tossed into a pile of clothes and emerges wearing a pink feather boa and tiara), and the side-splitting humor of involuntary anal penetration (the credit card "monster" is impaled on a pencil).

Two sexy bombshells, one blonde, one brunette, come to watery blows over the classic Lite slogans of "great taste" vs. "less filling," but with their clothes falling off and suggestive flashes of bulging bikini-clad breasts and buttocks.

Take Pepsi, whose last prominent campaign tweaked viewers by suggesting septuagenarian Bob Dole was taking an unhealthy fancy to teen-pop sex kitten Britney Spears.

Sexy bombshells? Sex kitten? What the heck do these phrases mean? It sounds like the author of this article has trouble looking at women in anything other than a sexual way. Perhaps he has some unresolved sexual issues that he might be able to work out by spending some time on an analyst's couch.

The Miller commerical is so overblown, I think the gay sex innuendos on the major networks are much raunchier than a couple of girls getting into a fight in a fountain.

Maybe because I don't have kids and I don't watch a lot of television, I don't understand what all the fuss is over.

Are there lewd, suggestive ads that seem to be selling something other than the actual product? Sure. Hasn't that been true for at leats 20 years? Not to mention the lyrics in most pop music, the films that come from Hollywood and perhaps the vilest thing out there - FREE DAYTIME TELEVISION - McLuhan's lowest common denominator cesspool from Soaps to Springer to Oprah.

If you had a choice between your eight-year-old son watching the chicks in the Lite Beer commericial, a rap song from Enimem or practically any episode of Jerry Springer, which would you choose?

If he's like most children, he's already been exposed to all three. You just didn't realize it.

I think the Miller Lite ad is hilarious, myself.
