Trojan's Risque Commercials..
10/9/2010 at 3:05 PM
Before I say anything else, let me say I am not a prude. I was brought up in a house where sex was openly discussed and issues were never treated as taboo nor was the subject thought of as "dirty".
With that being said, I am not sure if I agree with the recent Trojan commercials I saw on TV today. Yes, I realize I am watching Spike TV and that it is catering to adult males (i.e. Manswers, 1000 Ways To Die, etc)... but these commercials go a bit overboard, in my opinion and seem to be encouraging people to have sex (not that most people need encouraging, lol). I have no problem with the commercials themselves it is the underlying message I might see as a problem with a lot of people.
I know for a fact this type of commercial would never have been allowed 20 years ago. Are we becoming a society that has finally accepted that we are sexual animals and that it is not dirty.. or are we headed the way of the Romans with hedonsism being the operative theme in life?
I am referring to the "blow your hair back" commercials.
