You are in the minority only because others are not forthcoming enough to admit it. I'm with you Peck. :rofl:

I haven't hear the commercial, but I trust you guys. I appreciate Kevin's response to the criticism. That shows he is listening to his audience.

I was unable to muster any outrage over it. Some folks are obviously more sensitive than others and I tend more to the less likely to be bothered end of the spectrum. I understand that not every ad needs to target every individual. I can tell when things are meant to be a joke even if I dont find them funny. Even the length of the commercial wasn't as bad as people made it sound. I guess I'm just lucky like that. :D

I can appreciate that as much as anyone. But you have to remember that there is a person attached to them.
Like Kant says: never treat people as means only, but also an end in themselves.
Fair point. I guess it depends what the end looks like.
God Peck!!! I nearly died laughing!!!

It was an overly long run of 4th grade level double entendres.
This sums up what I thought as well.

This seems to be the mentality of 99% of the male population, and what made sales such a fun and easy job for me. ;)
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a pipe to puff. :puffy:

Thanks for weighing in, Roadqueen.

The worst potential consequence of the ad would have been to have female smokers pull up stakes and leave the forum.

yaddy,
In my experience, the type of female that would smoke a pipe generally has a thick skin and it would take a lot more of a nudge to get us to pull up stakes and leave in a huff. While I wasn't in the least amused by the ad, I wasn't mortally offended, either.
I mean come on....you don't really think that pipe smoking is the only 'odd' thing we do, do you? :wink:
We're used to raising eyebrows and being tisked for our odd hobbies and behaviors. :puffy:

"Oooh that hot big pipe just squirted juice all in my mouth!..."
Duh! Had been loaded with some wet smoking aromatics before she started sucking it too fast ;-)
