Dear Kim - your rack is unreal
what did people think of that Super Bowl ad for Teleflora with Faith Hill in it? While I can see a guy thinking that, I can't see him writing that down, even at the urging of Faith Hill.

The commercial:

1. husband and i thought it stupid. my 15 yr old son thought stupid and worse
i told him just the same old crap making guys out to be 13. then looked at my boys and said, not to insult 13 yr olds.... lol. he said he and many of his friends would think it offensive.

tired old stereotype ad.

9. well, as I stated above
but, to expand on that, if this "Kim" does have an unreal rack, nearly every guy out there is going to notice it. However, even at the urging of Faith Hill, I don't think any guys out there are going to type that into an email as something "from the heart" unless they were drunk off their ass and egged on by their equally drunk friends.

11. jeff, gender is not specific on noticing physical attraction. what is unique is the always present
conditioning from our media to tell our guys that this boorish behavior is what our boys/men just do. of course most all men/boys know this would be bullshit. but it is the crap we are givng to our guys today. along with so much more.

16. according to TV, men are also incompetent & stupid
who only manage to get by because of our extremely tolerant & undestanding wives or girlfiends.

25. The media tells women they should act that way, too.
Even if they aren't really all that concerned about superficial matters, we men just *have* it coming.

2. Never underestimate the sheer stupidity of some guys
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UynBjCBqJKI/TFwYpIRI2-I/AAAAAAAAAro/421C05lZWKk/s400/Ron+burgundy.jpg

Ron Burgundy: I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. I want to be on you.
(Veronica turns and walks away)
Ron Burgundy: Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I... I wanna be on you.

3. To be honest she wasn't "urging" him to write that, she told him to
"write what's in your heart", which IS a good thing USUALLY, in this case not so much.:shrug:

6. I understand that she is urging him to write what's in his heart
however, he's not thinking with his heart when he writes that...

I guess because she's an attractive female celebrity, her urging can be a bit more persuasive than most?

17. "he's not thinking with his heart " I don't know, most of the men I know, that's
about as close as it gets, anything else would be considered sappy or sissy.:rofl:

15. And, the first "Kim" I thought of
was this girl I had a crush on back in middle school circa 1980 or 1981, not Kim Kardashian.

35. I found it to be a humorous ad..
while i agree that most guys would not write that down and send it, this was a flipping ad and real life doesnot matter.

36. It was awright.
You weren't supposed to believe someone would do that, btw. The purpose of such a commercial is to make people feel that they are not as stupid as the person in the commercial, yet still decide that the product would help them. It did that, it was funny. Not brilliant.

The World According to Jobycom. It's a masterpiece in the making. :)
