You know, just hypothetically speaking, if anybody were to ask me what my perfect girlfriend would look like, I'd show them this picture. I think I'm in love. I really really do. Help me. Now, please. *whimpers*

Oh, and you are a sick fuck, you know that? I'll get back to you on that one. *tries very very hard to suspend her disbelief*

Anybody know that STUPID goddamn commercial for Crest White Effects, or something, where a beautiful woman walks into a cafe with a huge smile on her face, and her friends go "Ohhh! You're in love! Look at the smile!" And she goes "Uh! There's no guy!" and they all go "WHATEVER!" because, you know, the only time a woman can smile so widely and beautifully is if there's a GUY there, just waiting to sweep her off her feet!

Now, I am not a militant feminist. I'm a realist, and I happen to think every now and then (gasp!). I remember that my smile around this time last year was huger than hers, and it had nothing to do with a man who wanted to sweep me off my feet. Besides which, why does it have to be a guy? Hmmm? What if she just had a great time with a friend? What if she just got really hot lesbian action? What if she just got a book contract? What if she'd just been promoted? What if she'd just, basically, succeeded in something?

Basically, commercials are evil, and they work on the basis that people just don't THINK, or don't care what the hell goes into their heads, and you know what? It works.

GAAAAAAAAH!

Oh, but Bravo's TV Revolution is on. It's the "out of the closet" episode. Woohoo!

Have I mentioned that vacation is a beautiful, beautiful thing?

Why aren't you a militant feminist? I mean, really. It's time to buy an AK and hit the streets for choice, young lady!

(This is another one of those times when I wish I had a font for "tongue-in-cheek...OR IS IT?!?!" I guess there is a font like that, and it's the font Morrissey types all of his lyrics in.)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I like moderation. *g* But it's SMART moderation, you see. I like being...fair...in my assessments. Heh.

Morrissey. That man has half the world in love with him, and half the world wanting to kick his ass. And all of them sometimes get confused as to which one it is.

MWAH!

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Heh, y'know, I was reading this comment, and I sniggered and went 'yeah, and Morissey writes all his lyrics in it'... and then saw you just said the exact same thing. LOL. You rock.

Holy shit, I AM the hivemind!!!

You know what bugs me? Everyone, every single person, in T.V. ads for home products (i.e. cleaning supplies, food storage devices, toothpaste, quick-and-easy-to-prepare food products, toilet roll, etc.) is wearing a wedding ring. This cannot be accidental. This cannot simply be that all of these actors just happen to be blissfully wed and didn't bother to take their ring off.

Don't single/gay/long-term-committed-but-unmarried people deserve disposable plastic storage containers and floor polish and designer toothbrushes with massaging rubber bits?

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know, I know, I know! AND, have you noticed how lately (i.e., AFTER the 90's), the husbands in the commercials are always fat incompetent slobs who sit, drink beer and burp, and their wives are beautiful and able women? WHERE'S THE FAIR?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Single/gay/unmarried-involved people SO deserve the time, and it irritates the FUCK out of me that commercials are so, SO far behind reality. And it isn't an accident. I feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it's fucking true - they are made by fascists who want to keep the country back by about 50 years. Ugh. UGH, I say!

AOL Time Warner/Turner Broadcasting/Whatever else secret affiliates that they don't tell you are all part of the same company is teh devil.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

They are. They really are. We're onto them. We're watching them.

..oh, wait.

*sigh*

We're just expected to buy everything from Ikea.

Mmm, swedish modern toilet brush.

[ballyharnon.livejournal.com]

Hahahahah. *leans back in Ikea chair while flicking ash into Ikea ash tray which sits on Ikea desk*

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Dude, she looks kinda like YOU.

*revels in sick-fuckitude*

[croupier.livejournal.com]

You said it, I didn't.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

You people are fucking weird! I mean, I WISH I looked like that, but...damn! I understand Del thinking this - she's never met me in RL, and she's, you know, insane, but Alli. You're just weird. :_P

MWAH!

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh. You're just in looove with yourself and you're projecting that onto your celebrity lookalive, Miz Tyler.

It's okay, Liz. There is help for you.

(I love you! No, really! Don't hurt me!)

I HATE YOU!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Hehe, you bitch. ;) I really do love you. What can you do. And Miz Tyler and I are not look-alikes by any stretch of the imagination. I mean, she's like a foot taller than I am. And utterly and unbelievably ethereal and absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.

Re: I HATE YOU!

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Oh, speaking of unbeleiveable, check this out.

*hates Colin Farrell more than ever*

Re: I HATE YOU!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Damn, I can't see it, there's no QuickTime on this thing. I'm sure it's bad, though. Ugh. Just...ew.

Re: I HATE YOU!

[croupier.livejournal.com]

Alli!

Thank you!

You just spared me from having the same discussion with Liz!

Re: I HATE YOU!

[cabari.livejournal.com]

Del, we make the bestest team. *high-fives!*

Re: I HATE YOU!

[croupier.livejournal.com]

Dude, you bug her about her Liv-ian cheekbones and I'll pick on her Liv-ian facial expressions. Together we can make her crazy!!!

Uh, I mean, WOOO! YEAH! WE RULE! WOOOO!

[cartthebest.livejournal.com]

OMG Liz, I'm in love with her too! And, frankly...it's embarassing. Because it's Liv Tyler. Wah.

Er, yeah... :P

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

HA! I know what you mean. I prefer to have her real image in my head, and a made-up image of the person she is, too. *g*

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

She is perfect! I'm in love with her too :) (just added one more pic)

About the person who made that horrid drabble request, I agree too. She's evil! :P

I don't know that commercial, but almost all of them are like that. Pure sexism. I'm rather glad that I don't watch TV anymore, I'm free from their shit.

I love you *mwah*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

You are free from it! Hee.

Gee, Ni, do you like Liv Tyler? Really? I don't think I ever knew that... hmmm...

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

And thus, my lifelong hatred of advertising. Japanese commercials are even weirder, you know, but have the minor blessing of being SO DAMNED CRAZY that they're rather fun to watch. However, there's an awful one with an apron-clad woman singing a little song about the cleanness of her dishes and then gasping in utter RAPTURE when they squeak under her fingers... if I see that again I might have to break something. x_x

(Dubbed Herbal Essence adverts - the infamous "Yes! YES!" ones - are the FUNNIEST THINGS EVER.)

Herbal Essence commercials - utter FALSE ADVERTISING! I want my money back! *g* I can only imagine what it's like. I think I would literally pee in my pants.

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Damn right. WTF EVER, stupid adverts. Fuck off and die and leave us in the 21st century, thankyou.

Also, Alli is evil, but she does have a point about the Liv-ness. Hee. *scarpers*

*runs back to shout 'Oh yeah, and I love you to tiny little pieces, only obviously not literally because then you'd be tiny little pieces' before running away again*
