Honestly, the Funniest Tampon Ad EVER
Even if you ignore the ridiculous brouhaha over the staid, old guard networks refusing to air an ad that has the word “vagina” in it (erectile dysfunction, anyone? That one doesn’t seem to offend them… kinda grosses me out, though) or even the euphemism “down there” to describe the most foul area (*shudder*) of a woman’s body, you have got to love the chutzpah of Kotex going for the laughs with this ad:
Describes PERFECTLY how I feel on those (now randomly occurring – thanks perimenopause!) days when I am visited by the red demon dancer. Kudos, people!
I love it! I’ve had enough of the “Have a Happy Period” bullshit. The only “happy periods” come when you’ve spent 2 weeks praying you aren’t pregnant. And even then, the “happy” only lasts long enough to say, “Yay! Not pregnant!” and then immediately turns to “Happy period, my ass.”
Oh, I had too many of those scares! And I was always the girl who couldn’t tell her gyno when the first day of her last period was … EVER! Like I want to put “bleeding to death – started today” on my wall calendar in the kitchen. Hey, thanks for stopping by … I lurve your blog!
