[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 389267, member: 1233"] I always let the company know. I usually LOVE commercials, often more than the tv shows. Always have. My mom used to bring home the tape of the CLIO awards (advertising industry awards) and let me watch it and it was always a blast. She taught marketing, and I have a degree in it. I just thought that maybe things had shifted a LOT to let that word on tv at all. I think that the execs at Suave got conned by ad execs. I have seen several versions of the ad that do NOT include the lyrics, just the music, and do not spend as much time showing the women on the runway. Instead they focus on showing the stylists with the models saying they thought it was a $50 bottle of shampoo. My question on that commercial was that any fool who would spend $50 on a bottle of shampoo has more $$ than sense (I am an extreme tightwad in many many respects.). That version didn't anger me, but the one with profanity did. I have not seen the shaving commercial but would be highly offended by it also. Who the H do they think they are to tell me that I need to trim ANYTHING?? Maybe someone trimmed a bit too much of their brain cells with whatever they are smoking that made them think that commercial was a good idea. It used to be thought that as long as people were talking about you it didn't matter if what they said was good or bad. Now we know differently, MUCH differently. [/QUOTE]
