I'm all for not being ashamed of your body, but if I see one more tampon commercial where they make a "rope" ladder or plug a leaking boat, I'm gonna go postal.
Oh - do you get that really cute one where the girl can't find her tampons and it turns out her boyfriend is using them as play mice for the kitten? They have Australian accents but we often get US commercials with Australian voice-overs - or we get US commercials recreated for Australia. This one is so cute!
And there's the one where it starts raining and three (totally, overwhelmingly cool)girls plug the roof of their car and merrily drive past the boys who can't get the roof of their car to work...

Dude! That one confounds me! Why on Earth did they put the stupid pad on the outside of the canopy where it was WET and IMPOSSIBLE to stick to? Why the fuck did she not put it on the inside? Yes, those girls are SO innovative.
Ah, commercials. Making females look bad, one tampon ad at a time.
Oooh, there's the fish one as well! Where the poor little fishy is having a nervous breakdown because it's little tank is on the shelf underneath the super-absorbant pads.
Oh, I like that one! There's something quite off centre about it. And have you noticed that the owner and the pet guy both have big, BIG eyes - like goldfish? That's gotta be intentional.
You see, dear, it's like this. Women's body's prepare every month to have a baby. Fortunately, most of us aren't going to. So the body has to shed those preparations......
What I want to know is why what these things are always shown absorbing is blue. I think if I were bleeding blue, I would have much more serious problems than how absorbent my tampon is.
I am so glad I stopped watching commercial television...and that I'm a channel surfer. I guess I'm lucky to have not seen these commercials. Last time I saw a tampon on tv was on Tuesday, when the Queer Eye guys were playing with one.
I like the current one where three women are standed on an island and use alllllllll the tampons they somehow managed to find/make/bring with them to spell out SEND MORE TAMPAX on the beach so the search team flying over the island can see their message and shake their heads and grin at each other and not land the helicopter to save them. Silly women, if you hadn't just used all those tampons to spell that out you would have been fine for *years.*

Wonder what MaryAnn and Ginger did. Hmm. Probably had the Professor make something out of coconuts. Ouch.
