I think it's cute.

I don't think I've ever been to a K-mart but if that's what goes on there I'll try it.

Very cute and kudos to those have posted about the cheerleaders and various ads using women... lighten up guys... it was all in fun even my husband laughed....and you see MUCH worse on TV and in theaters these days.... just my opinion of course

I guess us men are a lot 'sexier' than I thought we were.

My apologies but also.... thanks!

I'm going to the grocery store right now and shake my booty!

Loved it - finally something for the women. Women were calling the stores to find out which aisle these guys were working in.

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.

Amen, Peachie.

Clever ad and frankly funny, I would rather see this than watching ads all throughout the day on "erectile dysfunction" The ad is great marketing and certainly in better taste than so many other inappropriate ads

Thanks for posting that graciegirl. My Mom really hates that ad so I thought I better not post it as she might see this at some point.

I thought it clever and funny. Might be a little inappropriate at certain times of the day if shown to younger kids but then again if you look how far what acceptable behavior has changed with what is in even mild TV shows and movies, I am having a hard time making that argument. A lot of the 8 p.m. shows on the major networks are a lot raunchier and much less clever.

I have NEVER considered myself to be prudish in any sense of the word. Until now, that is. I am flummoxed at the need for some to envision dangling participles as a form of entertainment. How many copycats this holiday season?. you tube must be exploding. This is not a pretty sight, even in ones mind. I suppose that seeing it on the air at 10:35 AM on channel 4 in NY was what put me over the edge. My grandkids were watching TV and flipped to this commercial squealing about how funny it is to watch and 'where are the bells?' blurted about the room. The only thing missing is sense-around and a musky smell. I dunno. Somehow I think that there must be some kind of limit set. Gong Show, anyone?
