Not that I need to tell you but I have been a bit slack with my posts these last 2 weeks. I blame getting older *lol* No seriously, ever since my birthday I have just been a bit out of whack. So much stuff seems to be happening but I am hoping that things will begin to calm down again, with the holidays coming and all. I need some time to get into the spirit

Anyhoo… yesterday I went to watch New Moon again (like I said… fanatic) and I was shocked to see how the ads have become the same as TV ads. I know that it has been going on for a while, but they usually play longer versions and they are mainly the story-like ads, so I never really had much of  a problem, that is until yesterday.

We were sitting there all innocently, waiting patiently (well,  an attempt at patience) and the next minute a Kotex ad comes on. You know the one with the chick walking all over the show and this weird scrunching sound keeps following her, and then you discover that it is actually her pad making noises while she walks!

I was like “Seriously?”You are advertising pads, at the cinema.” Is it weird that that freaks me out? I was so uncomfortable. Imagine you bring your kids to watch a movie and the pad ad comes on and they ask loudly, “Mom, what’s that?”

I would die! I would literally be begging for a giant hole to appear and engulf me!

Maybe it’s just me, but still. I think I should write to them,

Dear Mrs/Mr Advertising Manager for Pad ads around the world,

Please, I beg you, could you stick to girly mags and day time television for any advertising of sanitary products. It would be much appreciated!

Warmest Regards,
