Pepsi gives you worms

That's the message I get from the commercial.

Really, just not effective advertising. I mean, sure, it'll drum up lots of business but who in their right mind wants to do business with people who buy a product based on that kind of promise.

Further, I don't want an mp3 phone that causes mental retardation in my country's Official National Rodent. Nor do I want toilet paper which gives kittens the rabies.

I have no idea how to get video onto the internet. Mostly because I just don't care. And I assume my ISP makes it hard to do stuff like that. Mostly because they make it hard to do everything. I expect nothing less from a company that microwaves the brain of my country's Official National Rodent.

Anyhoo, the commercial in question has some retard dragging his ass down the sidewalk like a dog with worms. If you have seen it you know what I mean. If you have not seen it you are lucky.

Commercials are annoying enough but it really worries/confuses me when advertisers waste my time with commercials seemingly designed to discourage me from purchasing the product in question.

Do you mean the Pepsi commercial with Jimmy Fallen and Parker Posey dancing? I believe Jimmy Fallen does a bit where he's dragging his ass on the sidewalk.

I love that comercial. It's fun and Jimmy is a HOTTIE. Too bad there is so much sugar in Pepsi.

Butt scooting in dogs is more usually caused by clogged and infected anal glands.

My cat will sometimes scoot when he doesn't want to lick the poop off his butt.  I can't say I blame him.

Based on the fact I have never heard either name I assume they are some sort of "famous" people? Whatever, the commercial is one of the most annoying I have ever seen. The fact some of the people in it may actually exist just makes it worse.

But they do feel much better after having said glands expressed.

Anyone for squeezing your dog's butt?

Well, Jimmy Fallon (I spelled it wrong before) was on Saturday Night Live for something like six years and has been in several movies.

Parker Posey has been in about 50 movies.

Is that "famous" enough?

And, yep, Jimmy is a Hottie McHot-Hot. tongue

Ah, I see. I kinda lost interest in SNL about the time John Belushi died. Honestly, I thought it went off the air years ago. Whatever, the name Jimmy Fallon means nothing to me.

As for Parker Posey, that name means nothing to me either. Based on the context I assume this person is the chick wormboy tosses in the air in the commercial? What movies has she been in? Of course, I probably won't recognise any of the titles. . .

Generally, the more "famous" a person is, the more likely it is I have either never heard of them or have only heard of them in a context which would lead me to think they are fictional characters, like Wayne Newton or Burt Bacharach.

Parker Posey has been in a lot of indie films, mostly low budget, and supporting roles in a few majors. It's been a while since I've seen her in a movie, and I was actually wondering what happened to her the other day.

Re: Pepsi gives you worms

Nope, nothing on the list helps me. I watch the Simpsons occasionally and I have seen maybe 6 episodes of Will and Grace. I don't even know who plays all the main characters on either show - guest/bit actors are a mystery to me, with the exception of Kelsey Grammer. I recognise a couple of the movie titles but I haven't seen any of them.

One of my cats has stopped grooming her butt.
She's a long hair. I have to bath her weekly now (which she hates) and have her hiny shaved.

I think being a long hair, it was just too difficult - so she stopped caring.
