It has dancing pubic hair. I saw it during the Astros-Mariners game; are they giving women equal time since there are so many erectile dysfunction ads during games.

Link? I’ve seen two Gillette commercials featuring pubic hair, both online. Here’s [one from a year ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIlUNuSdJdA), and [here’s an ad from a couple of weeks ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8lm6N7tLW4). I don’t think either has anything to do with equal time. Gillette introduced a Venus pubic hair razor, and this was apparently the most effective marketing approach.

Medusa from the [Amazon Prime](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9HnqAASXpSU) ad where she kills the flirty guy. She should do an intimate shaving ad, with a nest of little snakes.

I was being a bit facetious, and hope I didn’t offend. Maybe I’m just tired of seeing so many ED commercials during baseball games and on classic rock stations. If the commercials are effective, more power to them. I prefer the Charmin TP commercials. Also, I’ve been waiting to hear our son say something to his gf during the Gillette commercial, but he’s been behaving.

Some clever rhymes but the noodle armed lady in the second one squicked me out, oddly more so than the anthropomorphic pubic hair chorus.

@jnglmassiv

“Anthropomorphic Pubic Har Chorus”

Great name for a Unitarian church chorus!

Perhaps I should suggest that to our church’s music director.

I’m not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t that.  
Just like if I told you I saw a OBGYN commercial, you probably wouldn’t be expecting [something that looked like it came from SNL.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFg-0EpDJVE)

How about this one? Geeze, it makes me long for the days when there was a thing called “standards and practices”. 🙂
