The ad owns, and I love how willing Kotex is to make fun of itself, because they sure as shit are guilty of the things in that commercial. But yeah, the whole U by Kotex thing makes me as a feminist happy.
What makes me less happy is that the original commercial used the word "Vagina" which is, you know, where the product being advertised goes and where it is used. 3 major networks rejected it. When they resubmitted the commercial with the euphemism "down there" 2 networks still rejected it. They had to completely remove any reference to where Kotex products are actually used.
Meanwhile, condom ads, Erectile Dysfunction medication ads, and fucking Enzyte have no problem repeatedly referring to dicks.
edit: just referring to dicks all day long.

I'm just glad that Kotex at least tried to challenge the double standard.

As am I, Steven.
You know, speaking of not saying the proper name for private parts on commercials.... I was up late the other night and caught an Enzyte infomercial. It was obnoxious, every time they explained the product they'd look at the camera with a knowing smile and say, "It's the pill that helps that certain part of the male body." Sooooooo silly. I'm sure the pill's a crock anyway, but still. Silly.

*bonk* I'm not putting you in my song anymore. :humph:
I would love to see the changes to the ads that Kotex wants.
No Blue Liquid, just pour a pint of pig's blood over them and see how much more it will sop up compared to Brand X.
Make it clear where it will go, with graphs and photos.
Show all the things that can really be done while wearing one.

The best ever tampon commercial I ever saw was on one of those banned ad sites. It was a French Playtex tampon ad with a model nude except for a pair of white panties. (France can do that apparently.) She then wakled across a large plastic covered stage where a table sat a pair of goggles. She puts on the goggles as a stagehand comes on scene with a firehose. Once she has on the goggles she nods and the firehose proceeds to dispense a torrent of a red fluid all over her in the huge quantities you would expect from a firehose.
The fluid is then cut off, the stage is covered, the walls are covered, she is covered, the stagehand is covered in the red fluid. A scene of unending red, except for her pristine white panties. Scene fades to a shot of the Playtex tampon box, then fade to black.
I know I will never see it again because:
3. It's at least 8 years old.
2. It was banned and foreign.
1. I REALLY WANNA SEE IT AGAIN! IT WAS A HOOOOT!
