I had heard about this version but saw it for the 1st time today as well. I agree with you. This one goes over the line! I cant believe the FCC allowed it. Janet Jackson cant show an accidental boob, but we can make jokes about Viper owner's penises?!?! I think I'll drop the FCC and VW an email. Neither are going to be nice
I agree. Although language, body parts, and other "concrete" parameters of indecency are not obvious, there is still the kid factor to be concerned about. Although I personally don't have a problem with some off-color humor (see my posts in the alley!), I don't see why I should be forced by a commercial interest to explain things to my kids. When the girl in the Herbal Essences commercial is doing her rip-off of "When Harry Met Sally" I don't know why I should then be forced to approach a subject with my 9 year old daughter that I would not choose to of my own accord. "Gee, Daddy, why is that girl shouting like that?" We are ******* away our kids' innocence over a couple of yucks. Adults, no problem, but you never know who's watching.
Yeah... TV is so bad nowadays, I'm not looking forward to having kids. VW really should pull that version. Don't get me started on non-MTV (WHAT music? It's a wardrobe malfunction away to being kiddie ****.)
I saw a commercial for a cd where kids sing current pop songs and is supposed to be "kid friendly". Imagine my surprise when one of the song's lyrics goes: "I don't want to be lonely no more... I don't want to have to pay for this..."
"Daddy... what's he paying for?"
And if you bought the cd, the lyrics following the above that I heard: "I don’t want another lover at my door... It’s just another heartache on my list." Geeeeez
