And while I ‘m not supporting other humans who (I suppose) have ovaries,
Published by Sid October 2nd, 2008 in marketing, General. Tags: No Tags.I HATE that new Glade woman. You know, the one who the creatives would have us believe tries to deceive her friends and family with the help of Glade products? The one who pretends to be a hardworking SAHM but who really plays tennis and lunches while her kids and husband go about their daily duties? You know, the one who pretends to be at a day spa whilst taking a bath at home, or lies about buying fancy French candles instead of grocery store Glade ones?
Yeah, her. I hate her.
Because while she may exist, this apparently vapid, deceptive, loafing woman is probably in the minority, and few Walmart candle-buying, sofa-spritzing women really have nothing more pressing to do than lie to her loved ones and ogle the tennis tutor.
What drivel.
This is not the reason I buy Method products–my cat dictates that–but it doesn’t help the Glad cause any.
Girl? Girl! Get out of my HEAD! I’ve seen this commercial before and it irritated the piss out of me. I was like, “what in the deep-fried-1950s-stereotype-so-fucking-out-of-date-who-the-hell-approved-this-must-have-been-the-same-people-who-approved-the-artwork-in-amanda-marcottes-book hell is this!?”
Srsly. I was pretty twisted about it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who say this and gave me MAD side-eye.
I haven’t seen this ad because I’ve been busy swanning around getting my mani, pedi and waxing done as well as shopping and being a lady who lunched.
Most of this has been done with a 15-month-old hanging off my hip. At least I got some mani-pedi and wax time to myself. And that sounds like a tired-ass ad concept. Sadly, I think it kind of taps into the whole “Real Housewives of Orange County” bullshit.
UM…SID. Long time no blog. Look…I also REALLY FUCKING HATE the Glade woman. I want to stab her every time those damn commercials come on. She’s a fucking lunatic. Did I bake a pie? Oh yeah! OH WAIT, it’s my Glade candle that I’m secretly ashamed of.
She lied about being at the Spa when she was really at home taking a bath and burning Glade scented candles? WHY?!!? Is that embarrassing? I don’t understand this.
I hope the Glade lady lights a candle, forgets about it and burns the whole house and then lies about that too.
