Least subliminal commercial of the day. It’s a slow day here at IHTM, so I’m watching Midnight Express on cable. The drug dealing kid just got sentenced to four years and two months in a foul Turkish prison when they cut to this commercial. It’s so over the top that even I, an incredibly sophisticated advertising professional, had to laugh. By the way, if you think this is over the top, go to YouTube and check out the 60-second version. Now let’s get to the important stuff – anyone know what time The View is on?

I hate that commercial. And I hate the commercials that show the housewife working to gether with the bald guy, and shaking hands (after all, she STILL did the work! This is the kind of thing the feminists should be bitching about, instead of dancing around dressed as vaginas, demanding free birth control.
You kidding? The biggest threat to feminists is successful women, who are able to rise to the top of their profession on skills and ability. After all we know people not by what they say, but by what they do -- and these are the women they attack with the greatest level of vitriol.
I just don't see a great deal of difference between these current commercials ( and there are many) and the "sexist commmercials" of the 50's and 60's. Slicker, betterfilming and acting, but the same message. WIth one exception. Dad used to be wise and smart. Now he's a bumbling idiot.
No word from Big Jim Slade on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ96dy93mP0
This commercial is hilarious, erotic drain cleaning sure beats plumbers crack
"Drug dealing kid"? Last time I saw that movie (or at least bits of it on TBS) that guy looked like a drug dealing old man. Wow how the time flies!
Umm.. what does this have to do with my 300 bottles of Liquid Plumr?
Might I suggest that Mr. Editor take some time off? Obviously the Liberal Tomfoolery is beginning to wear upon him.
Although I must admit, the lady in the video did seem rather excited about the whole thing.
Shouldn't you be posting naked Muhammad cartoons instead of watching TV?
OK, I can see that strategy with perfume, or luxury cars - even beer. But toilet de-clogger? That's just too ummmmmm... earthy... for me!
I hope that at least one of those guys is this woman's boyfriend of something...otherwise Liquid PLUMR needs to selling two fers.
That made my day
+1!
