This commercial does not make me want their product. Companies are trying so hard to advertise appearance and sex that they completely ignore the product that they are trying to sell.
If they want to advertise this product, and show why you should buy it, I think their commercial should go like this;
Two people walk into a laundromat, each carrying a large basket of laundry. The first person has all of the typical laundry cleaners and such (each being in their own bottle and being very hard to hold with the laundry). The second person carrying their basket and just the box of Purex (they walk in without trouble and the first person sees this). Something like that would show the public what that product is good for without making the commercial all about the way we look or should look.

No, I do get it. And no, I do not believe that everything is better thinner. I agree with a lot of things mamav and other challenge, however, I think this was reading too much into a product that is, in my opinion, kind of a cool product.
I am not throwing a fit, trust me, you havent seen a fit.
I guess the “women should be thin” message is so subtle in this commercial I just dont see it or get it…

Shelly, you really don’t get it. Most likely, you have bought into the canard that items are automatically BETTER if they are THINNER, which is why you are throwing a fit over mamaVISION’s post.
