Sometimes the image is very low-res and pixelated, but they aren’t made up of innocuous things.
It might be that the image that is stored on the servers is high-res, and at high resolution, it looks like trees and clouds and such, and so it doesn’t trigger YouTube’s filters, but what gets served to you is lower resolution, and the images are cleverly designed to look like nudes at low resolution.
This kind of thing has been done forever, but it used to take a lot of artistic skill. Nowadays, it’s fairly easy to create these trick images using computers.
Too be fair for no good reason, gutter cleaning needs many trips up and down the ladder, and your average person is going to reach too far in an effort to reduce the number of trips up and down.
Yeah, I’d say not so good for use older Americans. Not like juggling chainsaws, true, but a good thing to pawn off on someone younger.
No! No! No!
One trip up, clean them from the roof. You wouldn’t even get dirty! One trip down.
It blows my mind people don’t get that!
Gutter cleaning is one of those jobs where the best tool is your checkbook. That’s the tool we’ve used for at least 15 years… 
This thread has really gone into the gutter!
There’s a new stupid Liberty insurance commercial getting a lot of airplay. Every Liberty commercial I’ve ever seen has been annoying and dumb, not funny at all, IMO. Especially the ‘park bench with the Statue of Liberty in the background’ ones. This latest one features the actor moron from earlier commercials who pronounces the company name ‘Biberty’. He has a first date meetup at the bench with a young woman moron, and they bond over both calling the company ‘Biberty’. Then they decide to get some lasagna (pronounced with a hard ‘G’) and ‘canoolies’. It’s funny because they both have speech problems!
How does that pitch meeting go? “We’ve got a great idea for the next Liberty commercial!” “Great, let’s hear it!” “We have the actor moron character we’ve used before hook up with a young woman, and they both repeatedly mispronounce the name of your company!” “Uhhhh…”
Has it ever been explained why people selling insurance would be wearing white aprons? Or that the initial spokesperson would be an obnoxious woman with too much makeup? It’s so stupid, yet at this point nobody even notices.
I just happen to remember the very first Progressive commercial with Flo, and I believe I can answer those questions to your satisfaction!
The first Flo commercial had a conceit where you bought insurance as if it were a physical product, like packages in a grocery store. And Flo worked the checkout aisle, wearing an apron, just as if she worked in a grocery store. As for the makeup, ‘Flo’ was originally this sort of out-there wacky character with Goth-y makeup. They eventually softened up both the makeup and the wackiness.
Here’s the original 2008 commercial-- I guess Flo’s original look is not so much ‘Goth-y’ as ‘Amy Winehouse Lite’:
I hate the fact that I have Progressive, so I’m subsidizing this shit.
Personally, I think the Progressive commercials are Shakespearean comedies compared to the Liberty commercials.
Hear! Effin’ hear!
We pay a local roofer to take care of our gutters every couple of years. We don’t have too many trees that drop leaves on our roof.
Icky commercial for Volkswagen.
Tween girls wearing school uniforms with plaid skirts, outside the school, when another tween girl comes out. She’s got all kinds of cute accessories, and is that a tattoo on her leg? She struts by with attitude, prompting one of the enviously watching girls to shake out and tousle her own hair like a swimsuit model. Cool girl gets picked up by her mom in a Volkswagen. Tag line: “for families that don’t fit in a box.” So…sexualizing little girls is where we want to go with this campaign?
Here’s a link, I can watch it although I don’t have Facebook.
Who is their target demo- the Epstein class?
I remember those versions. Back then I had a small accident and the other driver’s insurance (Progressive) paid for the damage. I must say it was a smooth experience with no issues. At that time Flo was visiting repair centers around the country and there was a life sized cardboard Flo at the counter with a sign showing her schedule. I did not get to meet her, though.
Malvina Reynolds must be turning over in her grave.
In addition to the ickiness of the commercial, there’s also the (to me) infuriating message that you can express your individuality by buying a product that many thousands of people will also own. Mass market individuality is not individuality at all.
I remember this and loved it and still love Flo and all her family and co-workers. “Wow! I say it louder.”
I hate Debbie Downer, but I like Jaime and how the cornfield calls to him.
Yesbut, now the Flo staff commercials have gotten creepy and stalker-ish.
Not a tattoo, that is paint from art class. The other girls do that after they see the cool car that she is pic ked up in.
In no way is this
@DrDeth, you are absolutely right. But as a dumb-ass consumer, I had to pay way too much attention to that commercial to catch that! It still has a sexy vibe to it, especially with her getting all the male attention.
