While Leo and I were watching TV this afternoon, an advertisement was shown which really offended me.
The ad is for an anti-ageing cream. One of the scenes show a man and woman seating at each end of a sofa. When the woman started using the anti-ageing cream, the man suddenly could not get enough of her and started talking to her and touching her face. Another scene had the couple both in the car. When the car stopped, the woman just got out without the guy paying any attention to her. But when she started using the anti-ageing cream, he not only stopped the car but got out and opened the door for her.
The superficial message is that if you use the anti-ageing cream, your guy will pay more attention to you. The underlying message there is that if you're not beautiful, no one will pay attention to you. Apparently, the advertiser does not support the adage that beauty is only skin deep.

lesson....dont patronize that product. hahahaha! what is the name of the product if you don't mind me asking
I agree with your observation.
unfortunately sunshine - there are women who actually believe this sort of crap. can you imagine how pathetic you are if you only have your beauty to rely on to have a life? for men - there are two sort of women - one you can show off to your friends and the other you bring home to meet mother.
I agree wholeheartedly! That ad is a load of rubbish so do not buy it according to Claudine. Also its target group are stupid women so do not lose sleep over it. Kaya pala Peter brought me home to his mother???? Hanun ba?
Si Peter - cut both way siya ha.
Peter: Look Mom, Dad! I brought you a daughter in Law!
Mom: "________________________________"
Dad: "_________________________________"

Peter: Mum and Dad, I met someone I am really crazy about.
Mum and Dad: That's nice to know dear. What's she like?
Peter: She's gorgeous! She's from the Philippines!
Mum and Dad: Phili--what? Wait dear we have to consult the Atlas. Where did you say she was from again?

Mrs Blackeby was thinking: Hmmm another one for his collection...Oh dear.
Mr Blackeby was thinking: I just hope she lets him play golf!
