I’ve been seeing a lot of holiday commercials and have come to one conclusion…”Love and nostalgia sells a lot better than portraying someone (child, parent, grandparent) as a complete idiot!” Any thoughts from my VN Sisters?

I got before and after pics copied and pasted in the reply box and tried to post, but the only things that shows up is the text I typed, not the photos.
Thanks May & Janice for all your helpful comments. I really appreciate them.
May - for the longest time, I said to myself that I will never want any plastic surgery done and that I will accept my body for what it is. Like many typical wome
My before pic.
I got my after pic copied here. this is at about a month after surgery. Still a little swelling to lose, but getting better every day. I will try to post my before pic, too.
I now have some before and after pics I'd like to post for you but can't seem to figure out how to post them side by side. May be having a blonde moment. Can you tell me how to do that?
I totally agree. I especially hate the kind of commercials (and shows, for that matter) that make men out to be morons. They are not stupid (well, there are a few…) and it appears that we woman feel that we have to be superior in order to feel equal. All wrong in my men-loving book! ♥
That’s one of my pet peeves, too! It’s as bad as it used to be when they showed the “little woman” in an apron and totally sumissive. Neither provides good roll models for kids. Another issue with me is that the men in most commercials and TV shows are normal looking but the women almost always look like models. Why can’t we see a normal looking woman with a normal looking man???
I agree..I do not like any commercial (or TV sitcom) that portrays Fathers as idiots.Unfortunately, there are many out there!
One of my favorite holiday commercials is from Hallmark. Two little girls are looking at a Christmas storybook that their Grandma is reading them but it’s actually Grandma’s voice recorded in the book. I never get tired of that one!
I’m just tired of Christmas commercials, period. I am always ready and like them in the beginning of the season but the beginning of the season is just too early now. By now, I’m sick of them.
You are SO right about that! Remember in the good old days when the commercials and ads and store displays started after Thanksgiving not after Halloween?
some of the commericals here started before Halloween. And was told that Mr and Mrs Claus appeared in the area Walmart before Halloween this year.
Advertising in general. I would really like to see real people models. Slimwear for example, is worn by young skinny women. I have seen one commerical for “Frebreeze” the women frebreezing was 50ish, nicely dressed etc, but she had a little stomach roll, and a little on the hips. The liked the commercial.
I agree! The average woman in this country wears a size 14. Let’s get R-E-A-L!!
In that case, I’m way more than real! ♥
haha…Love that reply!…. Last night I was complaining about my weight and my husband said, “Sweetie…It took me 34 years to get you just the way I like you!” (he appreciates voluptuous women) P.S. I’m keeping that man around another 34 years!!
well, if I keep eating sweets I may soon become “the average woman? LOL I totally agree, commercials are JUNK!! Any commercial addressing the average American woman should not be a size 2!!
Hard to lose weight during the holidays…With this freezing cold weather in North Carolina, I’ve been baking lots of goodies….Keeping the oven on warms up the house!
how about the anti aging skin creams and cosmetics being advertised by a thirty something model? Would love to see someone in their 50s, 60s and 70s being the spokewomen for those commericals.
THANK-YOU for expressing this!!! I agree 100000000000%!!!
Even though it is a car commercial, I like the tag line, The Season of Reason. Very appropriate.
I like that!
