Poehusy got arrested
that’s my favorite commercial ever! it has been a year or more since i last saw it – thank you, jonathan!
Happy Love Day! (All I need is cash) Hope everybody has fun at the bash. 😀
Cheers to all the party people.
there’s so much truth in that commercial it makes me wince.
there are days when i think having children was the worst mistake i ever made. i’m making the best of it, but….still.
{anti-breeders please feel free to skip to the next comment}
ellarosa, how old are your kids? I have an 11 and an 8 year old. My girl was always a joy, but my boy was very difficult and really not a lot of fun for me (he was much closer to my wife) until he got into Kindergarden. Now he’s my best bud and a great kid. So if yours are still really little, things may change considerably in the next few years…
ps- when my kids pulled anything like this, ten seconds later they found themselves out of the store/restaurant/home sitting on the bench (or in the car), with the options of (a) calming down and committing themselves to better behavior, or (b) going home. Sometimes we went home.
Replace the goatee’d guy’s face with that super-young looking 13 year old’s face (the one from Britain, in case you’ve been in a cave for the last three days) and that commercial is so creepy you’ll shiver uncontrollably.
my boy just turned 10 and his (first) sleepover party is/was tonight … my whole day looked and sounded like this!! not MY kid, of course because he’s a perfect angel who can do no wrong but all the other ones!! christ on a crutch it’s been a long day.
Great commercial. It may be banned on networks, but with Youtube and the internet can anything really be considered banned anymore?
why didn’t little alfie see this commercial!?!?!
I just can’t get over that guy’s resemblance to Bon Jovi.
sven: twins–pushing 7. both special needs. *completely* different special needs. needs i say more?
I hope that kid won an award. He did a spot-on impression of That Kid In The Supermarket that I see about once a month — mainly at Fred Meyer Interbay.
They were quite right to ban it. It could inspire kids to behave like that.
Maybe if they’d had everyone else in the store run to the condom section, it wouldn’t have been banned. Then it wouldn’t have seemed like a terrible dad hating his kid.
@11 — Bon Jovi, I was thinking the same thing! I love Bon Jovi without embarassment.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SHITTY PARENTS _ AND _ KIDS ARE JUST KIDS
THEY DO GROW OUT OF EVERYTHING
GRAMPS _ AND _ MY KIDS NEVER ACTED LIKE THAT
THE SPOILED BRAT IS A PRODUCT OF BAD PARENTING< JUST SAYING
ellarosa@7: *Wow*. No wonder you haven’t had time to research my HFC question. Hang in there.
One more thing: as it happens, I’m active in my local school district on legislative and bond&levy issues. If there’s ever a special needs bill that you think bears particular attention, please write to me through my blog and I’ll try to see that at least my little corner of my suburban district gets on the right side of it.
…that would be ellarosa@12, of course.
@8: Christ, I have no idea how to be a parent. But some people I know have had good ideas. Two great ones I’ve witnessed so far:
Saying “use your words” when a kid melts down. There’s probably some background explanation but this is all I’ve witnessed.
The “no thank you bite” when a kid refuses to eat.
It’s still hard for me personally to wrap my mind around using a “time out” instead of “hitting,” so please, no public tantrums.
