Ignorant? Stupid? Blind? Deaf? Uneducated? SHEEP?!
Have you seen the new Nivea ad yet? My husband & I saw it . . . on SUNDAY . . . during prime-time viewing. I won't go into the whole commercial, but to celebrate their "100 Years of Skincare for Life," Nivea & their advertising department "thinks" (& I use that word lightly) that using the word "d*mn" in their new men's commercial will make them more cool, more appealing & make our men just want to rush right out & buy their product(s).
WRONG!!!
Well, here's what it did at OUR house: it made us throw away anything we could find made by them &, today, I wrote this on their website:
What low, uneducated advertising execs have you hired who would think that using the word "d*mn" in your commercials would make you "seem" cool? What low, uneducated leadership does your company have who would approve it? It is offensive (especially in front of family & children when it is shown during prime-time viewing hours), it is rude & shows the supreme ignorance & lack of respect your company shows for it's customers. My husband used your shaving conditioner, & we have used other products . . . but we will NOT be using them in the future.
Whew! I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent.
One more reason to make your own skin care!

it is only by doing just this (letting them know what we think) that they will ever get the point! Not everyone appreciates their rude and vulger language! I too have seen this. I do not at this time (that I know of) have any of their products. We must continue on this same path with EVERY product that is pushed at us. Make your voice heard.
ReplyDeleteWay to go; I think we all should stand up more often to let the advertizers how lame they are. I hate the bad language we are submitted too on a daily basis in all of the media. I look forward to a better day and that will be when the Savior comes.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!

You go girl!!!!!!!! God looked down from heaven and said, I am proud of you for standing up for righteousness sake. Well maybe He didn't say it, but I am proud of you. I will be praying with that the one that reads it would be convicted and that they would be flooded with mail. I will do the same tomorrow. Hugs, me
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised...good for you!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this commercial..but I agree there is no good use of curse words..and in advertising...yes, they have sunk really low..
