Worst toothpaste ad evah! This is wrong in so many ways.
I don't know what you're talking about, I love it!

You have got to be kidding me. There's no mat for her to step out on, which means she'd have to walk with wet, bare feet on the slippery, cold floor. That's just an accident waiting to happen. Ridiculous.

And where is her towel? Worst ad ever!
posted by iconomy 31 January | 09:10
And if the slippery floor wasn't bad enough, that huge toothpaste-box might topple over and could crush the kid!

She doesn't need a towel. There's no water of even a hint of any.

That kid looks genuinely thrilled. He is not acting ;)

Yeah - I was also a little worried about the fact that she seems to be taking a dry shower, and has no soap or shampoo of any kind in there with her.

Sure - 10 health promoting agents in your *toothpaste*, and body just crawling with germs and bacteria? Ew. Worst ad evah!

(I love the quote "Bad diseases can start in your mouth" from abcnews.com. Where do the good diseases start, I wonder?)

Lets not forget that gum diseases are an early pointer to alzheimers! (what does that mean? A signal the patient might have alzheimers? Is it because they forget to brush their teeth, I wonder..)

soo many questions.....
and is that crap in the left hand corner some dolly grip or other photographer equip.?
posted by dabitch 31 January | 09:27
That's the sink - ridiculous to use a reflective surface on it...so hard to keep clean! What an insanely high-maintenance bathroom.

That's one serious MILF, dude. My friends mom's never looked like that.

That is so wrong.

Nonsense my Cuban Nun friend. Ads are all about wish-fulfillment. At that kids age, my fondest wish was to see an adult woman naked in the flesh. Sadly it took about 13 years for it to happen. But had there been more ads like these, I might have worked harder.

Who are you to foil the dreams of young boys, lady?
posted by jonmc 31 January | 10:09
Yeah, 'cuz 9-year-olds buy a lot of toothpaste.

(actually, one of my bartenders was talking to another customer, and I heard him say that his baby daughter considers her infant toothpaste a treat, because her gluten allergy rules out most other tradition sweet baby treats. I imagine we'll see that kind binging on the Ultra Brite by kindergarten)

Um, apparently my Metachat is broken. :(

Y'all would appear to be discussing a photo, but it ain't showing up here. (Yes, I have images on.) Also, I can see the title of this thread from the "recent comments" page, but not from the front page or the thread itself. *nurses paranoid suspicion that he's being gaslighted*

I like the atomic tooth on the bottom half of the box. Nothing says 'healthy' like irradiated gums.

My friends mom's never looked like that.
That's because your friends weren't from Beverly Hills. I know all about the incest of the glamorous, though, and it's totally true: we do pronounce it 'mum'.

But the other threads show up ok, bmarkey?
posted by danostuporstar 31 January | 12:53
Yup. It is odd.

AGENTS IN MY TOOTHPASTE!

They will stop at nothing.

Is there supposed to be an image in this thread? I don't see one.

I clicked on dabitch's site and no picture showed up using Firefox. I used IE and there it was. Weird.
posted by deborah 31 January | 13:08
There's no link to dabitch's site, either. You guys are fucking with me, right? It's OK to tell me, really. I can take a joke. Ha Ha. See?

Here's the first thing I see on this thread:

Ohhhhhhh, it's British. I get it now.

Heh.

I thought that was going to be a link to Blackie Darkie Toothpaste.

Are you using Adblock with Filterset-G. I am and it seems to be blocking dabitch's site.

bmarkey, try going to this url:

Ok, everyone using norton internet snakeoil be aware that shite blocks my site and any other url with the letter combo "ad-" in it. By default. Kay? Not my fault, I've begged Norton to quit it, but what can I do?
posted by dabitch 31 January | 16:35
one of the symptoms is that any link even leading to adland, will vanish. (because by default Norton will "erase" that pesky "ad-" URL, assuming that it is indeed an ad!)
bmarkey - sounds like you have a case of this.

Adblock does it too, dodgygeezer? Man I'm so fucked.
posted by dabitch 31 January | 16:37
Yeah, that must have been it. I just saw it here at work... I hope I'm not fucked, too. (In the not fun way, that is.)

That's the culprit. Thanks, dodgy!
