Oh good, we’ve been puzzling over that one also.
To be fair - it was also showing off her less than perfect teeth. I think the points are:
1 - You can get anything that you want at Alice’s Restaurant on Amazon, and
2 - Girl Empowerment. Nobody’s perfect, own it.
However - If she’s going to dance in her new confidence, while wearing the Jacket from the Magic Tour, she should be dancing to a Queen song. C’mon Bezos, you can afford it.
I like the commercial but didn’t pay any attention to the music. You’re right, that is very odd chanting.
Like “I Want to Break Free.”
Oh. I thought it was commercial for the clothing you can get on Amazon.
Totally missed the mustache thingy.
Yeah, Queen music woulda been better.
And now there’s that horrible commercial for the diabetes drug Jardiance, that looks like an 80s MTV video.
I e-mailed Boehringer-Ingelheim, who make the drug, to tell them what I thought.
Say what you will about that Amazon ad, it did remind me that I need a new beard trimmer.
I feel like the Amazon dancer commercial is exploiting an underage child.
Granted the actress may not be a real kid but they want their audience to image a sexy kid.
Sexy? It’s just a kid dancing in class.
You want to see exploitation, check out the whatever drug of the week of it is that has one kid for whom, “dancing is her life.,” … and apparently skin-tight hoochie-mama outfits made by Camel Toe Incorporated.
I’m sorry, but the last shot of that commercial makes me recoil in horror. Ain’t no jacket cool enough to fix that.
Is that the one that shows three little girls in the outfits running off stage after having performed some kind of routine? What kind of routine goes with the outfits they wear is unclear.
At least her teeth are better than Freddie’s.
No, the thing that really bugs me about that commercial is theat she has a Hot Space poster. No one has a Hot Space poster.
I think the girl in that commercial is wearing makeup, which seems wrong to me. (BTW, the commercial is for Dupixent, to treat psoriasis and/or eczema. My mother’s doctor tried prescribing that stuff for her skin condition, but her Medicare Advantage plan wouldn’t pay for it. Or to be completely correct, they would only pay for a tiny fraction of the cost, so she’d still have to pay something like $3,000 a month for it. That’s barely below the $3,587.92 list price of the drug.)
I felt like I needed to register with someone after seeing that.
I’m not naive enough to think that’s her real dance outfit - probably not even her real friends. But dancers that age wear similar.
I don’t know if you were trying to prove exploration, but congratulation. Yikes.
I had a choreographer who had us, as young teens, in every version of a cocktail waitress outfit you can imagine. For any routine. The Wizard of Oz costumes were outrageous.
Dorothy was not in a gingham pinafore.
The dance wear world is very ‘unwoke’
Maybe worse than pageant wear. From what I’ve seen.
ETA… make-up on stage is a given.
I meant, “exploitation”, not “exploration”. Please don’t call the authorities.
When I first moved up here, a local Mexican restaurant advertised their arroz con camarones. The voiceover was by a young woman who had a slight Valley accent (1,200 miles north of The Valley). She pronounced the dish ‘arrows con cammaronies’.
I noticed that as well. It does bother me.
My wife, who used to be a teenaged girl, scoffs at that commercial. She says the girl in the commercial wouldn’t do what she does in the commercial. A real teenaged girl would get rid of the moustache. If she didn’t, she’d be teased relentlessly.
I must say! I saw an adult woman with a not-insignificant tuft of chest hair between her boobs. And we weren’t naked at the time - she was working in a convenience store wearing a low cut top. She chose to wear that top in public for all to see…
