Well if one peron feels that way, I gaurantee theres a million others. I would prob watch it but I dont have a family or kids to worry about. I guess there is a general lowering of standards, the Watchtower had to be right about just one thing didn't they.

Dantheman,
I'm never sure if people here are just pulling our chains, or what, but if you really feel that way, good for you. I agree that alot of comercials have gone too far. I guess I've just numbed myself to them.
But anyway, you made a courageous statement for a football watchin' kind of guy.

Unfortionatly, I have to agree with those who said sex sells.
Even if I dont enjoy the comercials, I have to admit that my eyes are drawn to them, if even for their shock value. Kindof like a Marilyn Manson video or a gross horror flick, I dont know why, but I cant seem to tear myself away from it.
Most of the males I know, enjoy looking at women, or discussing sex. I have mentioned this before, but since we are on the topic, even my 5 year old son is intrigued. Not that I encourage it, but he is curious.
Once while walking into the living room, I noticed my 5 year old sons and husbands eyes were literally glued to the tube.
I asked, "So what are you watching?"
No comment from my husband, but my son replied, very loudly, "Girls in their underwear!".
Another time while visiting the wax musium in Wisconsin, we came upon Marilyn Monroe. Nobody else was in the room with us, and I know he didnt see anyone else do this. He just walked right up, and well,,,,, you'lle see. Take a look at the lower right hand corner. I could have died.

Its things like this (obscene and tasteless commercials, TV programs, and movies) that are still big "cult triggers" for me. I guess that's why I hate them as much as I do. The Watchtower always had us convinced of the moral depravity of "the world", and commercials like the the ones I've mentioned sure seem to lend some credence to that.
It's no wonder so much of the world views Americans as being amoral sex junkies. I think it's because they see a lot of American advertising, and think that they depict what American life is really like (they don't).
This stuff really depresses me. I enjoy watching football a lot, but the ads that sponsor the games are about as much as I can take!

Its ok to have your opinion on those commercials. I cant stand them, however i think people who cant stand them have a low self asteem issue.

I agree with ashi. The commercials are funny! My favorite is the Coors commercial, "most wonderful time of the year." It reminds me of my friends. What is not funny is how bad American beer tastes.

I think I'll start playing the guitar more and watching TV less on the weekends.
