Those stupid GRAVITE commercials

Not sure if this is for TV forum or for the RANT forum ...

Oh gawd ... those GRAVITE commercials are on all the stink'n time.    GRAVITE ... mens perfume.

The commercials show three women all in cocktail dresses sitting on stools in an empty room ... they blindfold themselves ... sitting there helpless and waiting for the man ... the dressed up man comes in and instantly they all smell him from across the room ... their noses are shown close up and sniffing away .... one stupid blonde has a giant smile on her face as he gets closer and walks by ... something that is supposed to be sexy sultry music plays ... then he walks out and the women miss him and one, the dumb blonde woman, screeches "bring him back please!' while flailing her arms.

I can't stand this commercial.

For one thing, if those women can smell him from across the room like that, then his man perfume is too strong and he's wearing too much.   It girls him up.   And another thing, it makes it look like the women are weak ornaments and play things ... and stupid.

UGH.

I hate this commercial too!!! A bunch of superficial bimbos. Had they left the guy in the room and allowed her to remove the blindfold, the first words out of their mouth would have been ‘How much money do you make?’

Another dumbass commercial is the Particle for men. You got a douchebag saying over and over ‘Why look like this — when you can look like this?’ The problem is, all the men in the before photos are squinting and smiling. The after photos they have a straight face to not expose any wrinkles.

Haven't seen it but men's fragrance commercials are generally oblivious to the majority female opinion.

I want the realistic Axe body spray commercial. Where instead of the model clinging to his enchanting essence she walks away thinking, "Jeez, you smell like sweat and bad aftershave mixed with a hint of dog kennel."

Commercials piss me off for their attempted manipulation. But the men's beauty product commercials sorta encapsulate the men likely to wear so much aftershave or cologne that you can smell them from such distances. The demographic of men that would appeal to are usually the most worthless anyway.

On a positive note, commercials like that help enable conclusive preidentification of inept assholes.

I actually have a commercial that pisses me off EVEN MORE!!!

1-877 Cars for Kids - donate your car today!

And at the end of the commercial it says ‘Now accepting donations for residential property, commercial property, OR ANY REAL ESTATE!’

Well no shit Sherlock! Why don’t you donate your fucking house and car to me?!?!

I own a business. I get at least one donation request a week. My response to ALL of them is — I’d be out of business if I honored every donation request. I got an idea: why don’t you call and ask to trade goods? Why is always ‘I want something FOR FREEE!’
