Dear Advertising Executives,
Ok, I get it. I’m a girl and I watch girl shows: Project Runway, What Not To Wear, Murder She Wrote, etc., etc., etc. I do girly things and have girly issues.
BUT, does that mean, every evening, I must be subjected to discussions of “feminine itching,” “feminine odor,” and “happy periods?”
I just want to watch my favorite television shows, without embarrassing interruptions. I don’t want to see a tired, disheveled woman, depressed because her Hoo-Haa is irritated. (Yes, I said “Hoo Haa.”)
Last night, my irritation was caused by a stupid Vagisil commercial breaking into my lovely Project Runway time — a commercial which prompted my Hubby to start making jokes. Yes, he gets just as uncomfortable as I do, but (because he has a 12 year old boy lurking in the dark recesses of his mind) he responds with immature humor. Go figure.
Is it really, REALLY necessary to pepper my evening TV time with so many of these commercials? Instead of instantly bonding with your sad actress, I get repulsed. Is that what you want from a potential (please God, NO) customer?
If you don’t mind, please stop airing your commercials during the following shows:
NCIS
Murder, She Wrote (oh, and you can stop the Viagra commercials during this one)
Law and Order, Criminal Intent
What Not To Wear
With this accomplished, I promise I will transform into your biggest cheerleader, recommending you each time I hear of a poor female suffering, again, from some mysterious Hoo-Haa malady.
Sincerely,
Tired of Hoo Haa Commercials in Houston
