Milk Commercial

Anyone seen the new milk commercial? I was watching Oprah today, and saw it......really ticked me off. The basic premise is many different men buying up all the milk.......and just about time when you want to scream why, the TV informs you that milk supposedly can make a woman calmer, happier, during "that time of the month".........

I was pretty ticked off, as I find it really insulting......any comments?

And I'd certainly like to see the research to back it up.....

I actually kinda liked it. Maybe it's cause I'm a guy.

During what time of the month for a woman are they referring to? The one day when men come to their senses and do more than just take the garbage out? I am just kidding.

If men had their periods they would probably brag about how heavy they flowed, how bad their cramps were and how much chocolate they could consume.

Yenta, that made my day.


This reminds me of a Friends episode where Chandler was trying to figure out what was more painful: going through labor or getting kicked in the nuts. But no one will ever know because no one can really experience both of them. Ho hum.

no pun intended eh Captain Obvious? *wink*
I haven't seen the commercial yet, but it sounds okay to me. I'm not offended and I'm a girl.

Oh, IMAGINE! Sanitary products would be advertised on race cars, and men would brag about tampon size - "Yeah, well *I* can use an ULTRA HEAVY! You know how long THAT one is??" followed by a manly grunt.

Can you imagine? "This game is brought to you by Manpax, THE BRAND THAT SUCKS UP EVERY LAST MANLY DROP."

Wait?!? If I got menopause, doesn't that mean I won't ever be able to, um... *beep* ever again?
