i'll be the first to say that most times i have no idea what goes on in the heads of marketing teams. and, i suppose that it is no easy task to make feminine hygiene products seem interesting. but i am absolutely perplexed by what is going on in the world of the douche. if it's not creepy talking handsnatches being oddly ethnic and referring to themselves as your vertical smile, then it's some epic commercial (shown before a happy potter flick...wtf) extolling the virtues of the almighty and well-cleansed va-jay-jay...sort of a sparta for your genitals. this is vagina! tonight we dine in spring breeze freshness!
please. stop. now.
my bajingo is just fine without the aid or your products (always has been, always will be) or the implication that i would be a better female if i used your products. your ad campaign in toto is just plain embarrassing and slightly degrading.
update: apparently it is becoming rather difficult to find the offensively stereotyped, vaguely racist talking vag hand commercials on the intertubez. seems they are slowly being removed. and all my examples were broken. you can still get a little snippet of the "white girl" at the summer's eve site.
