Sick of the Special K commercials.
The Special K commercials are getting more and more annoying, but there's one that drives me absolutely bonkers.
Every single time I see it, I start yelling at the tv, I end up leaving the room I get so upset.
I can't find a video for it on youtube, but it's the one where a mom and daughter are sitting at a CHILD'S PLAY TABLE AND CHAIRS, and the phone rings, the mom gets up, and her butt is stuck in the chair.
A chair that is made for a child, but this freaks the mom out so much that she goes to eat some more Special K cereal to help her with quick weight loss.
It's a child's chair, the mom is already skinny, but OMG! She wants to lose even more weight because she gets stuck in a child's chair, one that is made for like a 40-50lb child.
Every single one of the Special K commercials is like this, the women in them are already skinny, but they need to lose more weight, they just have to, so all they eat is Special K.
I hate these commercials, can't stand them, I think they are just sending the wrong message to women.
Skinny but not skinny enough?
Not anorexic enough?!
Eat some more Special K!

I've seen it, I hate it, too. If she really was too heavy, she'd have broken the damned chair. If she could fit into it, that is.

Seriously, if it was a overweight person or even one with a tab bit of fat...they would of have the common sense NOT to sit in the chair...I honestly thought I was the only one that turned the channel when it comes on.

I haven't seen it.
Although, I do not like this trend towards too skinny.
Real men like curves, this one does anyway :-)

Hey, Mac...my husband like curves, too! He'd better, because I've got enough of them...LOL!
This one time, we were watching some late-night talk show, Letterman, I think, and Calista Flockheart was on. Mike took one look at her (he had never watched Ally McBeal or any other show she's been on), and said, "That woman has NO TITS!" I guess Harrison Ford doesn't like tits.

Gotta love how they market the product. Already thin women are not thin enough and since they say you can lose six pounds anyone who needs to lose substantial weight would not live on Special K alone. Anyone with a brain that is but maybe that is who they really are targeting.
