tostitos sex show



Make the Logo Bigger thinks this Tostito spot goes over the line. I'm inclined to agree, although I feel like a bit of a prude saying so.

I'm all for boobies and sex jokes in the football bowl game ads. But there's something about dragging little kids into the mix that's not right. Especially for, as Makethelogobigger points out, a brand that's meant to sell to families. Beer company, anything goes. Family product, not so much. What do you think?

Reminds me of a long time ago, when one of my kids came home from school with a drawing titled "I like to ride my dik." Of course, he meant "bike." So funny. I can almost see the teacher's face.

My fist reaction when I saw this on TV the first time was that it was funny - IMMEDIATELY followed by the secondary feeling that it wasn't quite appropriate for the target market.

Yep. It was funny, but even though my little ones are all growed up, still struck me in an odd way. Perhaps if I was single, it wouldn't have hit me the same way. Still think it would make a better spot for a doorknob/lock brand.
