As a former commercial copy writer and producer I think it's great. It grabs your attention and it makes you laugh. It does its job. Now my wife...the little redheaded girl.. likes it for several very different reasons.

I think it is in poor taste, as it runs in time slots that are considered family time slots. Years ago the censors never would have allowed it. If they had left off the end it wouldn't be so bad also the version that zooms in on the smiley face with the tongue sticking out is over the top.

That ad cracked me up, I laughed so hard. Thought it was a hoot but wouldn't want to see anything more revealing!

After all the years of watching all the T&A for men on TV including: female newscasters, weather people, cooking in the kitchen and so forth displaying their cleavage ad nauseum, it felt like someone just slipped a shoe on the other foot.

It repulses me.

I like it, but only saw it on youtube. Still, it's very tame compared to what you see women doing on primetime tv...

I think it is crass.

For all the women that like the ad, how would you like an ad with a row of women shaking there chests to jingle bells?

Probably not.

My goodness, where have you been over the last twenty years? You were not watching TV, I guess.

Women have been so sexualized on TV that it's pathetic. It appears few woman on TV are worth their salt unless they have the girls on display, wearing extremely tight clothing, parade around on stilty shoes or are put in very suggestive positions. Women have to shake more than their chests to get a job while men can wander around in the three piece suit and not worry about such demeaning requirements.

I often think women have fallen way behind in the equality battle.
