Great Ironic MTP Moment:

[PCIntern]

See, I'm watching the only network personality more gluttinous than Candy over at CNN, and the Captivating Advertisement from Nutrisystem comes on; you know, the one where the goofy woman keeps referring to herself as a size "2" as she giggles away. Parenthetically, it is the most effective 60 second ad I've seen in years, for many fundamental reasons. That aside, it is extraordinarily paradoxical for these self-serving white males, grossly unfit, sallow-without-makeup, heart-attacks-waiting-to-happen to run the whole media show, while the advertisers target those in the audience who have the same attributes, stating that they are without self-control, that they are personal failures for being so overweight. she states in the ad that when she lost weight she 'got her life back" and that her husband "got his wife back".

Tweety and Timmy, perfect examples of what the humorist and monologuist Jean Shepherd called "slob-art", should be generaly ashamed of themselves. That we know. The subtext at times is often jsut as bad as the overt transcript of the so-called 'dialogue'.

1. Glad to see someone else gets sick

at the Nutri System commercials -

See? she squeaks as her voice lilts ever higher " I'm in a Size 2" whooopie fuckin hoo; another bimbo says "I am my husband's "trophy wife", gag me.
Maybe they can revert from the size 2 to wearing diapers - weighing 20 pounds.

There are a list of commercials that I will not allow to be heard in my house and this is one of them

Others are:
Video Professor - cant he afford to update this sorry commercial with the idiot woman saying: my three year old is smarter than me.....
Head on (or is it ass out?)
E Harmony - this slimeball gives me the creeps

2. Yes to all:

and it's a tribute to them that we know each one verbatim.

The definition of success in advertising, sorry to say.

"these results are not typical"...or something like that. :crazy:

5. I HATE THAT COMMERCIAL. I turn it off!!! She is a class A twit!

6. Is that the ad where she says, 'now all my clothes fit me'

Maybe she couldn't read and was buying the fucking wrong size all along.

Why would your clothes not fit? Silly shit, ain't it.

8. It was striking

that there wasn't one woman at that table of "Important People." My dream is to one day see a Sunday political show w/a female host, female guests, and one token guy. :)

9. "Big Mac! Apply directly to the hips! -- Big Mac! Apply directly to the hips!"

I love Jay Leno's spoofs on modern culture. I wonder what happened to the corpulent barbecue restaurant owner who featured two fat-assed beautiful models in his ad?
