*modest bow*

Glad to be of service, dear lady!  That's what I'm here for.  

This will, of course, soon be immortalized as part of the "XenoCorp and Now For Something Completely Different" parody at the XC Bard's Corner.  

Speaking of that, I need to get Sirgod's "Mod of w00t" song as well Toasty and Sirgod's "Holy Hand Grenade of w00t" parody up as well.

I guess you guys never saw Les Mis?

The current "Sex Sells" campaign that drives me nuts (been on about 3 years now...) is,  I hate to say their damn stupid product name... : Clairol Herbal Essences Shampoo - An organic experience... You know the commercials where the women have screaming orgasms as they wash their hair with it?

God damn I cannot stand it any more! The colossal stupidity of it, and endless irritation. What bothers me most, go to the drugstore, look at the shelves, and you'll find it nearly sold out all the time... people are buying this crap!

I have been sooo tempted to take a bottle of it up to the pharmacist and ask if it will really induce an orgasm in its user...

I have called the Advertising Standards Council of Canada about it but, I guess simulated orgasm is acceptable dinnertime advertising - no warning notice required.

At least clariol has toned them down a bit recently, they dont scream quite as loud or as long, but it is still a simulated orgasm. The most offensive version was one where three men washed one womans hair while she screams in extasy, and the commercial concludes when a nice big blob of white lather splashes over an onlooking womans face... I guess that one was too much.

If you are seeing these commercials in your area, please complain to the appropriate standards agency.

Holy camel toe!

Bonk Don't you think of anything else except "sex".  

Do woman "orgasm" at Basketball games. When They scream in joy when the home team scores a basket?

I think the commercial shows a woman going crazy over some stupid shampoo. I don't associate woman orgasms with a woman screaming "Oh God, Yes". Though I do think she might be a tad too much excitable emotionally.

Now if She is riding a vibrating Snapper lawn mower on the other hand. And Moaning, I guarantee I will be recording it.
 

[Bonk]

Oh come on, don't tell me a naked woman screaming YES! YES! YES! isn't using sex to sell... When was the last time you heard a real woman scream YES! YES! YES! when she is just washing her hair... Gimmie a break.

Try turning your TV down very low during commercials so you only hear the loudest parts, the kind that would normally grab your attention from another room where you cannot see the screen, what kinds of sounds would bring you back from the fridge to see the screen? I believe you will begin to see (hear) the patterns...

There is something else to think about?   Enlighten me please.

Maybe she is glad to be getting rid of hair lice?

Its like Britney's nipple. People believe they see it, others don't. Its a bit of perspective.

The Commercial people were smart and realized some people would associate the sound with "orgasms".
Now if they were a real orgasm. I would have my tape player ready.
