Diamonds From Sierra Poop-on
It happens every year. Commercials for diamonds inundate us with reminders of how much they show our love for our women. It’s the same thing year after year: commercials show up and make us real blokes look like shmucks for not buying our ladies 1.5 carat diamond rings or pendants. It’s the same with Valentine’s Day too.
I think the biggest problem I have with the whole diamond charade is the response of the actresses in the commercials after they get their big “carat orgasm”. The guys undoubtedly gives the little jewelery box to the broad in a very clever way to make him look sensitive.
Then the chick opens the box, realizes its honest-to-goodness-diamonds and not-cubic-zurconia and then gets all moist in the pants and hugs the guy like everything stupid he’s ever done in his life is forgiven. Basically she’s thinking, “Now I really know he loves me, and its all been worth it… fucking the baby sitter, getting head from my sister, blowing the kids college fund in Vegas; it doesn’t matter, I HAVE DIAMONDS!”
If a girl had any real brain cells, she’d require a hell of a lot more than artificially over-priced diamonds to keep her secure in her male-dominated relationship. Aww, who am I kiddin’… I’d probably suck some ding dong for diamonds too.
OMG…these are HILARIOUS!!!!
My least favorite diamond commercial is the one where the guy re-proposes to his wife during some jaunt to Italy in front of a slew of people (including her mother and impossibly well-dressed father). It’s just so nauseatingly unrealistic that I’m glued to the screen every time it airs.
As for forgiving stupid shit, I like diamonds but dude, they ain’t all THAT.
I hate that e-mail thing and I dont usualy post on blogs that demand it, are you paranoid…anyway, women are attracted by shiney things just like cats. Just give the dumb bitch some tinfoil.
ngregory00: Yes, very nauseating indeed….
DLAK: Ahh… I forgot that Wordpress has that set as a default in options. Don’t worry… I’m not paranoid. I’ll change it so you can post anonymously if you want.
I would never put up with shit like that; diamonds or no diamonds. But maybe I’m the only one who feels this way…
Although my birthday is on Friday…
oh, and I love the spell check on comment option…spellign is not my thing.
It’s the same type of mentality that advertisers use to get men to buy the male enhancement pills. Make us feel inferior then provide the solution, and add some peer pressure into the mix.
The one I hate the most is the guy who gets to the airport in a bad blizzard, looks at the diamond he sold his left testicle for, and then has this ingenious plan to steal a snowcat from the airport and drive it to his woman’s house.
Of course, she runs outside and has her “diamond orgasm” in the snow.
Perfect, just perfect.
That “pooper” one is hilarious.
Sometimes people put fake e-mail addresses so they can comment. On my site I’ve gotten ones like “fuckoff@leavemealone.com” or “nofuckingway@privacy.com”
Dear Jane: Probably not that many would put up with crap like that… but those commercials are just as degrading to women as they are infuriating to men. And I’m glad you like the Spell-check option. Quite a nifty plug-in…
The Pheonix: That’s the one that inspired me to write about it! I hate that one… God I want to shoot the ad execs who come up with that crap.
JJ: The “pooper” one is my favorite too… And I guess I’m not really against using email verification, but I probably won’t enforce it unless I start getting a lot of spam comments.
surburban whoredom.
Diamond orgasm! I love it! hahahaha.. And I absolutely hate those commercials, too.
I don’t want a “Kobe diamond” - I want honesty from a man.
gisher: I would agree…
Laurie: Orgasm just seemed like the most appropriate term… especially with the looks on the women’s faces in the commercials.
