Question of the day:
Why is every other ad on tv for feminine hygiene products? I mean, everything about this is so wrong. First of all, boys don't need to be subjected to these ads. I feel for them. It's enough having to deal with girls who are currently on their period, and it just adds insult to injury to be assaulted by such advertising. Another thing - when was the last time you (if you are female) were watching an ad for some new tampon and thought to yourself "man that is so awesome!"? Isn't the point of advertising to make you want to buy something? An ad isn't going to change my mind as to which product I buy. And it certainly doesn't give me a craving for pads and tampons the way food ads make me want to go get a cheeseburger.
America is ridiculous.
