2. Oh my!

That is WAY too risque for American tv! :rofl:

[Heidi]

11. Yeah, but what's really risque about it?

Seeing these ads made me think, "Who's in charge of our airwaves? The people? Or the humorless, appointed Morals Cops?"

:hi: Xema!

(Can _anyone_ think of a rational reason that this kind of clever and effective marketing isn't used in the US television market?)

19. It keeps freezing right where he's about to get into the airplane

What happens next?

[Heidi]

21. SPOILER!

He flies the airplane because "My mom said I could," then you see him approaching Mom's bedroom door and asking, "Mom, can I put the cat in the washing machine?" From behind the closed door, you hear Mom saying, "Oui! Oui! Oui!" The little boy pumps his fists in the air and says, "Oui!"

The end-tag is: Hansaplast Condoms. Pure Pleasure.
