Is it me or do all tampon commercials have women that are way too excited to have their periods? I just saw one for Playtex new gentle glide tampon with a unique 360 degree angle for the best protection ever! There are three girls dancing around in dresses like its the best day of there life…come on. You know what a real tampon commercial should show? A really pissed off women, in a real bitchy mood, with no makeup in a really dark room taking pain killers and eating chocolate ice cream. That’s me when I have my period, at least the first day, and trust me no tampon in this world will make me get up and dance like I just won a million dollars. But honestly, I don’t know about you, but the only time I ever see any one thrilled about their period it’s because they were scared they might have been pregnant. Other than that it’s a pretty not too happy couple of days. Or how about the ones with the blue water? What’s that about? I guess it might be inappropriate to use red. Even a little gross. I don’t really watch a lot of TV but I think if I saw a really happy period tampon ommercial when I had my period I might get a little pissed off. Playtex may be losing customers with this fake representation of women who need a tampon, who are they representing really? I would love to meet the bitch who relates to that commercial. I’d hit her!
