Sorry, but no, it's plain old dishonesty. <br /><br />And that brings me to the TV commercials. Since when did it become okay for a mother to lie to her teenage daughter about borrowing her blouse, the one that looks waaay too young for the mother in the first place?? I'm talking about the ad where the mother got a stain on the blouse then stuffed it in the hamper. When teh daughter asks point blank if the mother had seen her beloved blouse, the shameless hussie thinks back to what she did (and we get a visual of her and her two partying friends laughing it up as the stain happens)and then what does she do? She LIES and basically says "No." Then she goes back and washes the blouse with this magic guilt-free stain remover and afterwards stashes it back in the daughter's room. This is soooo wrong. I mean, how's this poor kid suppose to learn the difference between right and wrong? <br /><br />There are plenty more commercials that bother me, but I'll save them for another rant. :)Dee Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606850502412357781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-33754504888768464902010-11-29T10:30:21.217-08:002010-11-29T10:30:21.217-08:00Okay wasn't going to say anything till I remem...Okay wasn't going to say anything till I remembered this toy I got for my son a few years ago. Can't remember which one it was, but it advertised about it doing something and my son begged for it for Christmas! Well mom stood in line on Black Friday to buy such toy that is at 330 in the morning! Anyway on Christmas day we put it all together and he went outside to play with it. Came back in within an hour and the stupid thing wouldn't shoot as it had claimed. So it sat in my son's closet for a year before I just threw it out. Talking about being pissed! Here was a little boy wanting that special toy and the damn thing didn't work like they claimed. Now do you think I could have taken it back? Nope it was on sale he had used it. So no returns. From that day on never did a black friday or buy things on clearance with a guarantee I can get my money back.trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193965850283828350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-75251652714905485792010-11-29T10:04:15.149-08:002010-11-29T10:04:15.149-08:00HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

We have that commersial in the States too and when I first saw it I looked at the hubby when Vince made the nuts comment and said, "Is it just me or is that the perviest thing you've heard on a commercial in a while?" He cracked up at me, but he agreed.<br /><br />Shiela, you're a hoot, hon. The fu**cker comment about the Slap Chop had me howling again.<br /><br />And Sarah, I'll have to find you a coupla small candles at Dollar General.<br /><br />Marci, nearly everything advertised on infomercials ends up in our Dollar General in our neck of the woods.

OH GOD...&q...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha<br /><br />OH GOD..."In the basket you go, you darling candle, you."<br /><br />This is a riot. I'm tellin' ya, I can't recall anything right off, but products do this to me all the time. And you know the other day we discussed this candle thing. My pumpkin spice candle never had any scent. And Jess brought home some cinnamon stuff to put in this little pot that heats up--forget what you call it, sighhh, but there is NO smell. None. Now granted I have a horrible chest infection and maybe my smeller isn't working. But everyone else says it has no smell too. <br /><br />And you know what? The little pot is still on and everyone keeps adding the cinnamon herb mixture anyway? Why? I guess we keep hoping that it'll energize or something. Who knows? <br /><br />And Sarah? Stop dirtying up things just to test them. That's a bit much girl. LOL Just sayin'. Oh God..girl you kill me.Tess MacKallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066240659271231596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-4730467236592181472010-11-29T09:36:58.141-08:002010-11-29T09:36:58.141-08:00I rarely believe commercials.

For instance, when we were cleaning the carpet in our bedroom, Charlie wanted to use some commercial cleaner. Not me. All those chemicals in the air. Thanks, we have enough. So, I Googled online carpet stain removers and discovered that people used to use white vinegar distilled in water. You spray the carpet and dab at the stain, and voila! The stain disappears. White vinegar is also good as a fabric softener. Just as you love baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), I love white vinegar. It cleans better than Chlorox if you mix it with oregano oil, getting both viruses and bacteria without being toxic to the environment. Amazing, eh?<br /><br />Oh, and I've just thought of two things that didn't work as promised: Nair and this wash out hair dye.<br /><br />Not one hair from my legs washed off when I used Nair. (I think I was 14 or 15 at the time.) And that wash out hair dye? Um, if you are blond, don't do black. I had gray-green hair for two weeks.Marci Baunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850775917897362922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-20634801920316798132010-11-29T09:34:10.910-08:002010-11-29T09:34:10.910-08:00Great post and funny to boot, which is a bonus. Wh...Great post and funny to boot, which is a bonus. What kills me are the infomercials designed to dupe the inexperienced and the vulnerable. Seriously people, rubbing a bit of sandpaper over your legs will not remove all unwanted body hair, shaking a weight will not eliminate underarm flab - it will still wave every time you do, putting a clip on your bra straps only makes them bunch and pucker, and if you show up at a football game in a blankie with sleeves, especially if you are a guy, you will not be both warm and cool. You might, however, become the butt of every joke imaginable and may even receive an entirely different kind of snuggie. <br />Another problem with calming candles is the scent, if there is one, can be nauseating rather than relaxing.<br />How did we become such suckers? I agree we need to look at every ad as a lie and buy with caution.Becca Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854661507227735148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-42905324315446472362010-11-29T09:31:29.140-08:002010-11-29T09:31:29.140-08:00I just found this and had to share.
