Reality Still Bites For Tampon Commercials

tampons
This Kotex commercial has been making the rounds because it's all snarky meta-commentary on how most feminine hygiene products have nothing to do with what they're selling. Right. Because no one actually wants a commercial that says, "Put this in your cooze, it will plug things up for awhile." What's the problem with using a little bit of flowery metaphors to talk about that very special time of the month, ladies? Are we all suddenly Tank Girl or something? Anyway, Ms. Sarcasm here below, in Kotex's newest advertising campaign of "You're smarter than most commercials, wink wink (except for ours)."

I'm firmly on the Tank Girl side! However, my bigger issue is that I really hate commercials that are EXACTLY like all other commercials for the same product, but think that if they're all 'wink, wink' about it we'll respond with, "Aw, that's like so awesome! That commercial is soooo interesting/unique!" Ugh. Spare me.
