I always think....if they are having sex in a bathtub wouldn't they only need one tub??????and how did they get those tubs to the beach or the mountain top anyway....must have been some trip hauling them up there for a little "us time".

BarbaraTx I love the etrade ads also. 'Riding the dog is frowned upon in this establishment!'.

Funny.

I, too, haate the AT&T commercial. I also hate the one for Yoplait yogurt when the wife is on the phone and the husband is looking in the refrigerator and she wants to know what he is doing. Isn't he allowed to look in the refrigerator? I think some advertisers think their ads appeal to women if they degrade men. Not me.

There does seem to be a group of women that appreciate putting down or degrading men!

How about the Hampton Inn one that guarantees a clean bed?? What you have to boast that you give us a clean bed? Really? Like this is a new perk if we stay there?

OMG, I so agree with you!! I find that so offensive and hurtful. How could they possibly find that in any way acceptable?

Agreed!

so many of them I remember the commercial but can't remember the product or brand ... not the intention of the company I'm sure.

And the viagra, female viagra, male enhancement, etc... They really are disgusting, and people wonder what has happened to our young people...[/quote]

Really!!! Enough already! These are my #1 pet peeve commercials.
