    Default Urgh... stripping on a commercial.

    There's these new commercials in Australia for mobile phones. It's saying, "Hey, this plan is so cheap, you can afford to make longer calls!"... there's weird ones like a a girl calling mum saying "THE CAT DIED!" and the mum going, "Too bad." and hanging up.

    But one bugs me. There's a strip club in the background and the daughter calls up dad and says, excitedly, "Dad I got a new job!" Then the dad says, "Good for you!" and hangs up. And the commercial continues by saying "talk about the important things" and how it's imperative you have longer conversations (it really insinuated that if he had the conversation that his daughter wouldn't be a stripper).

    It just bugs me. Like, for Christ sakes, it's NOT THAT BAD. At least she was trying to be open with him. Oiye.

    The overall thing was funny... but the rest of the series of commercials weren't all preachy like this one was. That's what bugged me.

    Sounds funny, but yeah I can see why it would annoy you...anything that makes the assumption or perpetuates the stereotype that stripping is 'wrong' is naturally annoying.

    That's the fourth commercial going around I've seen that makes a reference to stripping. Either stop bitching about it or stop using it to advertise your shit. Lame.

    I actually havn't seen this one and I love one of the first ones of this series where the girl says "Dad I'm pregnant" and he then says something like "great!" ... then there is the "Dad I'm gay!" one where the father says "Fabolous!" ... I actually like them and they are all meant as tongue-in-cheek humour.

    Don't take anything on tv seriously. If anything, you should be mad about the stripper at the bucks party in the home and away episode recently. I never saw the episode so I can't say if it was a good or bad or neither representation.

    All I know is that in the ads for that particular episode the voice-over was going "Is he going to cheat?" whilst the actress who was playing the stripper (and she looked like she had a decent stripper cop outfit) was dancing seductively. I didn't like that... I wish I saw the episode now.

    He should have been sitting in a strip club when she called, then look up just in time to see her put her phone away and strut out onto the stage.

    Oh god, I knew there was one I was missing. That one PISSED me off. And then the other day I saw on an Aussie TV show something about how these 'depraved' people were hiring strippers. wtf.

    Well, my point was that all the commercials are dealing with something bad... cat dying, father losing job, wife cheating... but this one is saying how terrible stripping is... like.. it's as bad as your mum cheating on your dad. Otherwise it's a funny idea.

    I tell you what ads i really hate - those late night phone sex stripper ones, lol. Geezz they are some of the the worst ads I think Ive ever seen!!!
    And well I dont think the ads are totally dealing with "bad" things. Is gay or pregnancy bad? No, theyre just things you'd usually talk about for longer than 2 seconds. (-:

    No way that would have pissed me off too ! The family guy ( a cartoon that makes fun of EVERYTHING) had an episode about the shame of being a stripper but that wasn;'t too bad until they had this fake public service annoucement at the end of the show about strippers being shit ..........I can not remember the actual words ok but it was rude , I think people tend to forget how many strippers there are in this world and how much we spend !!! They should be more mindful of us as a consumer base and our fans too !!
    Don't you just love me ?!?

    That made me laugh out loud.

    Speaking of crappy commercials....late at night, the club I used to work for (yay I quit!) had one...and it had this girl dressed in a gown sitting in the VIP section of our club...and a guy walks up and takes her hand, you only see the back of him and then the girls says "I've been waiting for you, you look great, now come here and give me a kiss" WTF!!!!! Every time I saw that ad I got pissed....a kiss??? No...I don't think so friends!
