~__~ but...

despite both sounding and looking like it was wholly created by Willow Smith.

It is not the worst commercial I've ever seen.

no...

that goes to the banned Skittles half-time commercial that my idiotic (Sadge sun humour) husband "just had to show me".

I sincerely hope whoever was responsible for that vulgar nonsense was fired. I also will be keeping my child away from Skittles even more than before. (I've always hated that candy, but you see it in every trick or treating bag). I hope more parents will be boycotting them. Either the company is failing in this case or they had a monumental failure in moderating how their money was being used to produce the darn thing. Either way, I recommend - those who haven't seen it, who are curious - AND PARENTS - (not the numbskull youths who will just "giggle it up" here) to regard it away from both work and their lil ones... cause it is quite obscene to be viewed in the company of minors/social setting. And, you now if "I'm" saying it is obscene... it certainly is.

"Daddy'$" ~smh- typical~ I'm glad my wee one doesn't watch TV often. lol I hope and pray they don't air this on PBS in the mornings though... just to avoid the headache. I hate most ads these days anyway... I hate how things are marketed in general... especially, those "you gotta buy this crap" late night infomercial ones... saw one for some ear cleaning device... the ad says, "q-tips are dangerous", and shows this guy literally wrenching one in his ear going "OOOUHHHH"... like you f'ing boob, what the hell did you think would happen if you jam the thing in and twist it like that.... /sigh ~but the consumers are getting so vapid, and gullible these days... all it takes is one mention of "health" mumbo-jumbo, or some flashy "brand name" with smoke and mirrors imagery~ and they'll buy into it. >.<;

I don't play brand games. I love fashion,don't get me wrong... but I refuse to buy anything just for labels... and hope to teach my kid that too... unfortunately for me, I'm outnumbered by label-seekers in my husband's family... who will only suit their kids up in labels... and a husband who falls into that "line of thought" ever-so-conveniently, each time a baptism, or birthday rolls around... (UGH!) ~ but, I'd also say, sketchers... meh... I don't get what the deal is... the colours???? they're eyesores... lol I can just imagine some whiny teenager, complaining to her parents that she's all grown up and deserves blahblahbalh, while wearing those things... I'd look one time at her and say... "are you a clown? how in the world is anyone going to take you seriously wearing /that/?" >.<; but this is what is being pushed out~ and what is being taught and bought... what a waste of money....

I'd rather my vintage chucks back~ and such for my son... those were some good shoes. They lasted forrrrevvvverrrr... specially before the production was relocated to China. >.<; don't make them like they use to, eh? lol

Daddy's money alright. phooey ~

You're not talking about one featuring "newlyweds" are you? Because I just looked that up and there's no way I believe that's a real commercial (and as one commented more or less, not only was it too raunchy, it was too LOGICAL rather than WTF random for Skittles to use it, and btw while I thought the ad was stupid that observation cracked me up ).
