Because it has played at least 8 times since I started writing this morning, and it is officially driving me insane.

The ad depicts a horde of completely insane women, screaming with excitement as a truck carrying 100 Calorie Packs of Oreo Cakesters rolls down a city street. We're supposed to find this hilarious and wacky, but this commercial just pisses me off. First of all, NOBODY ON EARTH gets that excited about a snack pack of pre-portioned soft Oreos. NOBODY. And secondly, if, as the ad claims, these packs are "goodies for grown-ups," then why are women the only ones going crazy over the cookies in this ad? The men in this ad react to the woman with a mix of "WTF" and "oh my god, you're crazy" which only serves to make the women look even more pathetic and ridiculous.

What say you, commenters?

My tallys of non-white models on fashion runways and in magazines got a mention in the WSJ! Oh, and fashion insiders are patting themselves on the back for dedicating a special Vogue issue to black models.

• A woman claims her fake breast was damaged when it was struck by a fake apple being thrown around the pool area of a La Quinta Inn. Women are saving less than men for retirement, in large part because because they are paid less. • Shopping mall developers are asking women directly what they want out of their shopping experience (answer: more food!).
