Default Anyone else grossed out by new Dove ads?

Something really gruesome about 4 women shaving their pits on tv. Something I don't need to see.

I've not had the pleasure of seeing these commercials yet...

I do, however, like the ones (I think they're for Dove) with Thelma from Scooby Doo and Jane from Jetsons....getting lovely hair after using Dove loll...

OMG. Those commercials are icky and painful to watch. You know those epil-stop commericals or whatever? In which they insist on showing all the other methods of hair removal and exaggerating how painful they are? I hate it when they show people waxing and tweezing (is that really a word?) and it looks like it just kills them. I'll just be hairy like Paula Cole. (Not really).

Hey, it's no grosser than ads for tampons, birth control, midol, douche, FDS, or chocolate. I just can't wait until they use Dave Mason's "Let It Go, Let It Flow" for Stay Free, and you know that day is coming...

Actually, the best ad I've seen recently is an ad for M&Ms. They're playing strip poker, and the yellow M&M says that he doesn't want to show his "peanut" in public.

YOu are missing the point.

We aren't seeing women insert tampons or dushing ( ok I can't spell it) but we are watching these women SHAVE their pits and then put ON deoderant!

I just find that gross

There is that commercial the womean shaves her "bikini area" beside her bikini bottom, that's pretty bad.

In the Netherlands there's a commercial with an animated bacteria crawling under a toenail, it's really disgusting even though it's a bleeping cartoon. Got an award even!
You can watch the add here:

http://www2.trosradar.nl/?url=PHP/lo...683/20/2004/1#

Click on the little camera after the line "BEKIJK HET SPOTJE"

but don't say I didn't warn you.

There is a really bad ad here...they have a family sitting in a park having a picnic...and the shot focusses in on the Dad's toe and it has a fungal infection in the nail...it's really disgusting.

I jsut watched a pad commerical for I guess Stayfree. Where a woman goes into the store, and stops other women who apparently are annoyed by the leaking. So, she pours a fluid on there and tells them to touch the product, and their all amazed simply for the reason it is Dry! Now, the women are like fondling the pad, and going "Wow."

It just freaks me out that a woman in their bathroom might be doing that like right now
