This is one of those cases where I really wish I could find a copy of this ad on Youtube. If one of you happens to come across it, please send me link. The ad tries to promote a new channel bundle that represents significant value for subscribers. But seriously, did someone bother to listen or watch it?
So the commercial ends with this guy talking about his bigger package, “Now that I’ve got the bigger package with Starz… my wife is happy, my family’s happy and boy are the neighbors impressed.”
Obviously it was the writers’ intent to make this sound like a Viagra commercial– or that Extends product. But during the daytime hours? And do we all think the ED product commercials are some of the best? I’m not attacking this from the standpoint of a moral viewpoint, though I do question their judgment there. My bigger issue is that it’s just plain tacky.
Remember the old Snickers Batman commercial? Now that was funny stuff. I wish we could more of those. I’ve included it below as a reminder.
Enjoy!

Pbbfftt… Don’t get your panties in a bunch there. I thought that commercial was really funny. But that’s just me (course you watched it over and over as well so…..). And it def wasn’t veggie porn by PETA, you know?!
LOL

LOL! It was okay. But it wasn’t that funny.
