The Ambiguous Women in Commercials
Do you ever notice how women are portrayed sexily to the hilt with almost no imagination needed in commercials? I mean you don't even have to wonder about nipple placement in certain commercials. So why is it that these commercials are so open about women's bodies but yet others are so timid?
For example, one commercial will start off "Hi my name is Karen and I have a yeast infection." Obviously, many women know what this is but to your average guy ...he probably thinks it has something to do with the woman's problems in baking bread. "Why is she complaining about that? Go to a baker, order a loaf or two...problem solved. I am going to be watching the bread she serves me more carefully!" Guys are very visual ...we need to see the actual yeast infection so come on ...don't hold back. Show us. Then we can say...Oh..I understand....well ...I am not getting anywhere near that tonight." Actually, guys might be more eager to get rid of that yeast thing for their girlfriend if it is going to affect a certain nocturnal activity. I could just picture a guy in a pharmacy to a worker..."I need this product to cure this yeast infection by 10pm tonight...you got something here that can do that?"
Why do women have to do the confessional thing on the commercial? You never see a guy coming on the tv and saying "Hi I am Brad and I have hemmorhoids and that is why I am standing right now. Please, help me to be able to sit again." "Hi my name is Harold and I have erectile dysfunction. My wife is about to divorce me. Make it go up!" I saw another commercial with a girl saying "Hi I have genital herpes." This girl spent the entire commercial being with her boyfriend. Hmm. I am thinking he is probably not the one that gave it to her or she would have thrown something like a huge metal object at his head. So if he did not give it to her that means she got it from someone else and this poor loser has no idea...unless of course he sees the commercial. I scream at the tv set to warn him but it is no use, he is being affectionate with her...oh well..I try to help in my own way but in the end you sleep in your own bed.
The last commercial in this group is the one where the girl is out on the beach in her bathing suit and the other friends are worried for her because she is having her period. She says "don't worry I took so and so brand and everything is all right. There is no cramps." I am thinking that cramps would not have to be your first worry. Umm how about having a real red splotch on the crotch of your bathing suit if you weren't careful. This is what the commercial should show. They should show a woman getting rejected for approaching a guy on the beach with her bathing suit because there is that infamous red splotch with some red liquid running down her leg. The guy would look at her and say..."Thanks but I am married..." even though he is clearly single. It is funny how these commercials can be amazingly gratuitous in terms of sex yet so discreet in terms of women's "health" to the point that we men have no idea what the fuss is really about.
