Cogent Diversion - You know what I'm sick of?

You know what I'm sick of?

You know what I am really, truly sick of?

The motherf*ing IPEX bra from Victoria's Secret. I hate VS so much, I'm not even going to link to it....find it yourself.

I've been seeing the commercials for what seems like eternity:

two years in the making!
the most weightless bra ever!

It's a bra for crying out loud! You haven't found the cure for cancer! I don't care why it's Gisele's favorite bra! You pay Gisele a crapload of money...no matter what you do - she will love it! It's a bra! Not rocket science! Two years? You wasted some money, my friends!

I really just had to rant about that because every time I see those freakin' IPEX commercials I just wonder how they can make it so darn dramatic!
-------------------
And now, my roommate and I are watching a botox commercial
"I just found some shoes on sale"
"today i fit back in to my favorite jeans"
What the hell does that have to do with botox?

It's like herpes and whitewater rafting. Those herpes "sufferers" live such full lives. I will be honest...more than once I thought "man, I wish I had herpes...live would be great!"

Advertising is a bee-otch.

Your line about herpes sufferers - now that's just plain funny. Your post is great. I'll be back to read more, but thanks for starting my day with a good laugh!

Sure, the hype for the IPEX is utterly ridiculous. But ain't nothing wrong with VS commercials! (Blog Explosion visitor)

Gotta get a TiVo - no more commercials (unless they look funny).

A laugh inducing rant :) Give it some slack.. I mean come on.. it is THE most weightless bra ever. All those years in the past.. women have been carrying untold ounces on their chests from conventional bras. Now, they finally have an option to stand up tall and not be hindered by such a bulky and weighty bra. lol In other words, I totally agree about advertising. Don't get me started on my views.. In fact... maybe I will.. maybe I'll make it the topic for a post in my own blog.. I'll even give you inspirational credits. :)

Hello. I'm just making the rounds of all the nice people who blogmark me to say hello, and that I do hope you'll visit again and leave your link in my comments for easier access! I quite agree with your assessment of VS- plus, I must admit, I've never said "Oh this bra is just so heavy!" Uncomfortable, yes Too tight, yes Too loose, yes Floppy straps, yes Pokey underwire, yes But heavy? never Good job, VS.

So glad we don't have this Vs ad here ( we actually have no Vs ads in France) and as for the Botox thingie, maybe they offer a liposuction if you buy the product! lol j/k

You never cease to make me laugh out loud.. This is good shit. Yeah i remember thinking when i first saw that valtrex commercial.. "It's a brand new day..." *singing* and here is my thought process. Woman is riding bike - "Is that itching her crotch to be sitting on that seat?" Woman is dancing with man - "Dude if i had herpes i could get hot dudes too" Woman is being snuggly with man - "Does he even know she has herpes and if so, why the fuck is he gonna have sex with her?" HAHAHAhhaHAha!

I really needed to read this today. Hilarious! I wanted to try one of those IPEX bras on just to see why anyone would pay $50 for one.
