    Did ANYONE see the one where the cartoon's cell phone vibrates in her crotch region and she gets all red in the face? Frito Lay encourages female masturbation! What?!

    You know what would get me to buy the healthy stuff?


    If the advertisers clearly insulted me and women and calling us "fat pigs" for eating their more fattening, calorie-laden food.


    Not only would it piss me off big time (and trust me, Shamrockette pissed off involves a shitton of screaming obscenities at the top of her lungs and saying very mean and hurtful things), the guilt complex would come back with a vengeance and actually get my ass up from the couch and walk around the block, and eat a carrot instead of a piece of cake.


    I might just be fucked up in the head, but it could totally work!


    Or it could totally backfire and then I'll just sit my ass on the couch even longer and tell the TV "hehe, you got that right!" as I wharf down a piece of chocolate cake.

    @bloodflower: You see, you see? And sometimes I wonder if my crazed reaction to the endless re-hashing of these stereotypes in commercials and ads is over the top. But what if you hadn't been their to laugh at the stupidity and say "NO"? Really, it makes me want to tear my hair out.

    this is embarrassing but i'm comparing my workout habits to these fucking toolbag fictional frito ladies. I'm like..."HAH I work out more than all of them put together and I don't have a personal trainer" and I feel slightly superior for not counting "shopping" and "salon" as part of my workout routine.

    I saw this last night, it was mind-numbingly awful. The worst part is it is so goddam long! And it had nothing to do with chips! No one needs to market chips to me, I pretty much use them as a mood-stablizer.

    When they start explaining how to get the glow of a late night Cheeto or Dorito snackfest off the fingers of my right hand before an 8am meeting, I'll pay attention.


    That's what real ladies want to know, Frito-Lay. Take an effin' hint.

    Oh, Lord. One of them has a secret shame that she gained back 5 pounds she lost. They all have "woman" jobs. One them has "shopping" as an exercise. Epic fail. Perhaps the marketing team at Lay's should meet the Vanity Fair people - after all "journalist" is one of those OK woman jobs.

    I feel that hearing the words "only" and "women" has much the same effect on me that the beginning of "Kung Foo Fighting" has on Asians.


    You hear it, and your head immediately hits the desk, because you just know it's gonna be trouble.

    I once attended a women's leader forum and at lunch time they only served diet soda or water with our meal. I was completely stumped is it that only women drink diet soda or we're always supposed on a diet? Seriously? Needless to say a lot of the attendees were pissed at the subliminal message.

    @Fermina Daza: True story. I was just at a legal convention which was heavy on the menfolk and the Diet sodas were the first to go. All of the regulars sat out there all afternoon while people scanned for Diet Cokes before begrudgingly accepting a Pellegrino.

    It's like a modern version of the Girl Scout's Handbook.


    I almost barfed when I read one of the bio's that described the one as married to so-and-so, who dotes on her. The person who wrote this had to be high, it's the only explanation.
