I have questions about two commercials. [View all]

1) I was told today that there is a Pampers commercial that advertises some new kind of Pampers that have a "blowout barrier". I'm not sure exactly what a blowout barrier is, but it sounds like something that might be useful to me. My questions are: Why can't I buy boxer briefs that have a blowout barrier? Also, is a blowout barrier in the back or the front?

2) In one of those "Balance of Nature" commercials, there is a woman who I think is a physical therapist. She says she is 60 years old, but has the energy level of a 27 year old, because she takes Balance of Nature. My question is: Why 27? Why not 24? Why not "mid-20's"? How can she hone her energy level down to the specific age of 27? Are you able to remember exactly what your energy level was at age 27? I can't.

Be careful when you watch these commercials.

They raise questions.
