OK...I know this has nothing to do with IA, but I think SOMEONE needs to comment on this...its been irking me since I first saw the commerical a few days ago....
There is a new commercial for an underarm deodorant/antiperspirant. In the ad, a group of women is given some antiperspirant, a t-shirt and a tank top. They are given 5 days in which to use this new 'pit juice', after which they must report back, wearing which ever of the two clothing items they feel most comfortable in. All but one woman return wearing the tank tops b/c, somehow, a miracle has occurred and they now have amazingly smooth underarms that deserve to be shown off. And of course, they are all bubbling with excitement over this newfound freedom to don a tank top!
Did I miss something when it comes to armpit hygiene? Is there suddenly an epidemic of women with rough, tough armpits that must never be shown? Is this a silent, previously taboo subject that thankfully can now be discussed in mixed company? Just how long has this been going on? And why have I been so out of the loop? Am I just one of the 'lucky ones' that has yet to suffer the heartbreak of ugly underarms? Am I doomed to come down with 'uglyarmpitosis' once I reach a certain age? What is a woman to do?
Seriously though, am I the only one that is tired of companies creating new ailments that women must be convinced that they DO suffer from, in order to increase sales? I really don't think I am alone when I say, "My armpits are doing fine and have been doing fine thanks!" Sheesh....its not like I need any convincing to use antiperspirant/deodorant....not like its a new product, or even 'new and improved'....I'm human, therefore capable of sweating and smelling. That's the bottom line. 'Nuff said.
