i experienced a VERY EMBARASSING moment at carl's junior. the bemused smiles from the 2 very sweet ladies made me feel slightly better but eeewww... germaine. you're dumb.

i was reading an article about the advertisements shown on local screens. usually they're informative commercials which i personally think its quite boring. where's those witty and mind boggling ones? some commercials simply baffles me and make me cringe... while some deserve to have their story board burn to ashes and never to be mention about it ever again. that particular brand of of drink with a dancing cow with a fruit hat is... -.-;

whilst that adorable baby in the mac ad is =D

males: if you're uncomfortable with this paragraph, please do not read it. but if you think you're brave enough to face it, then... you're da man dude!

the sorry state of sanitary napkins commericals:

local pad ads are so bad they're like memorable cheesy slapstick movies. yes, the intentions behind the ad are trying to show the merits of sanitary pads and at the same time, save the embarrassment from both genders but isnt it time to move on from the same old contrived 80's formula?

myths perpetuated by bad pad ads.

1) white bottoms are the preferred wardrobe option for menstruating women.
- what?! menstuating women avoid white bottoms at all cost. nobody wants to look like they sat on red paint.

2) cycling is good excercise during your period.
- with cramps that make wisdom tooth extraction seem like a walk in the park, chances are, we're likely to be in bed groaning and wishing we're born a man instead. let alone cycle...

3) the arrival of your period creates the urge to prance around mindlessly.
- jumping around or esp doing ballet inspired movements are is definitely a no no. we even try not to sneeze.

4) women expels blue liquid.
- need i say more?

its time we take a que from oversea's pad ads. in a mexican commercial, a woman kills her lover in a film noir style and then cleaning the mess effectively with her maxi pad. thank goodness there isnt any bicycle/prancing/blue liquid in sight. smart commercial.

here's the link.
