What Do You Think?

I think in the rush for some folks turning away from "political correctness," they have made a new art form in being crude and rude.  There is a balance to all things, and the pendalum may be swinging far away from having a little class!

I don't get most of the humor these days Kathy Streib as it seems to have all gone down the wrong path...probably why I don't watch much television anymore!

Uhhhhhh ... no, Kathy Streib ... you're not out of sync.  Just a good example of what Myrl Jeffcoat refers to above ...  and the pendulum swinging way too far ...

Just head to Duffy's on a Wednesday night for more fun and frivolity. Peek into the game room for an added bonus.

Probably would have had a different feeling for you if they weren't kids saying those things.  That's a turn off.

and what they are doing to those kids (if they were kids) in the commercial.. that is so poor and very sad they have to use crap instead of intelligence to market

It would turn me off too, not sure what age would find this attractive, but then I have officially entered that crabby old man stage a while ago.

Like you Kathy my reaction is "what were they thinking" too many people do not think on their own and have people write stuff for them and I see this in the entertainment industry a lot, when you look at how some of them dress for Award Ceremonies, I just shake my had and say the same "what were they thinking"?

Hi Kathy.  In a media environment where we have learned to let adds float past without notice, I think they wanted to grab the listeners' attention -- and it worked!

Good Morning Kathy -  I don't have a clue what his real message is.  If he is trying to get shock attention he did.  What is the goal?  I don't have a clue.

I do not think there is anything cute about having children speak that way. In fact if that's how the business owner raises his kids (with a lack of dicipline) can you imagine how terrible this restaurant must be run? I have no problem with shocking advertisements and in fact often find them amusing but when you involve kids that is crossing the line. 

Sounds tasteless to me. I am in agreement with you. People think they are being edgy and/or funny. I don't like it.

In this case, you are not out of sync. I'd think the ad campaign went off track.

It's not funny. Tasteless.

Regardless of what generation you are from.
