Well the last time I was in the US, it seemed that American commercials fell into three categories: impotence, depression, tuition for a business school that looks like a mini mall.

You must have missed the ones about feeling fresh and feminine.

Well US magazines....there is always a lady leaping scissor legged out in a meadow in white tights...

It's really not my place to offer advice....but perhaps those couple of days may not be the best time for bucolic gymnastics...
I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

The one that always made me giggle over how 'never gonna happen' it was, was the feminine hygiene product ad where the daughter asks "Mom, have you ever had that not so fresh feeling?" Then the mom launches into how wonderful the product is and how since starting to use it she's never had a worry.

Yeah, that is a conversation we all have with our moms. Seems they were on a swing, or the daughter was on a swing and the mother was standing beside her. It has been ages since I saw it aired.
“It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.” Joe Moore

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
― Dr. Seuss

Don't be fooled, Sonofasailor, some of those products are so fresh and wonderful that there is nothing more any lady would like to do than go roller blading through a field of daisies with her French Poodle at that time.
