What is going on with commercials lately. So many are gross, sexual, or just plain weird. And I have an appreciation for weird commercials, but I see so many that don't make me want to buy the product being advertised they just gross me out.
Earlier this evening I saw this burger king commercial, its one in a series dealing with a Whopper family. In this one the Whopper father is trying to tell Whopper Jr. about what happens when a Whopper man and woman love each other. Then he gets uncomfortable or doesn't know what to say so he gives Jr an extra napkin to keep in his wallet. I don't know about everyone else, but that didn't make me want to go to BK. It just creeped me out.
And just a moment ago there was one for Starburst. These two guys working at a zoo wearing wet suits because they are brushing a whale's teeth. One guy tries a 'juicy' Starburst and gives one to the other guy. They comment that it was a good thing they had wet suits on because they were so juicy. So then the whale pukes on them not once, but twice. Again, gross.
Fast food burger sex talks, puking whales. None of this makes me want to buy the products in the commercial.

About Me
- catholicandgop
- Catholic and politically conservative, I graduated with a BA in History (concentration in American) and Political Science. I'm between two parishes; one in Wisconsin that is fairly traditional, and one in Illinois that is fairly liberal. I teach CCD. I work in the food service industry, which basically means I'm working in fast food until I find a better job. I'd like to work for the church somehow. Right now I'm working on getting my teaching certification, although I'm unsure thats the correct path for me. This blog is as random as I am. I hope you enjoy.

lol, and furthermore, somewhere in a room there are adults thinking of these things and excitedly pitching them to other adults who all agree that they are good advertising! HELLOOOOO lol
Isn't it awful! I usually have to mute the commercials.
I completely agree.
Disgusting, and evidence that there is very little talent or original thought in the ad industry today.
I agree. I would also add that there are certain products which just shouldn't be on TV, ie Viagra, Cialis
Btw, would you be interested in doing a guest posting on 50 Days After?
If you are email me at athanasiuscmundo {at} g mail {dot} co m
People trying very hard to be edgy and hip... but just being strange and crass instead.
None of those BK commercials have made me want to go buy their junk in some time. The only thing that they succeeded in doing was associating their business with freakish behavior. That's not for me.
Three letters. DVR.
When I had one, commercials DID NOT exist.
The starburst ad guy is hot - I'd totally do him out of wedlock or even in wedlock. I'm not picky. And the whale isn't puking, he's spraying. It's a lovemaking sign in the ocean world.
God loves Whales.
