BFD and Dildoos and Dutch Bags

Published on May 1, 2008 in Advertising.

Have you seen the commercial where the guy is having an out of body experience and he calls himself a “dildoo?”

Am I the only one that thinks the real word “they” wanted to use was “dildo?” Kind of like Domino’s used BFD, and said it stood for Big Fantastic Deal.

Next up: “Buy this or you’re a dutch bag.”

Haven’t seen the commercial. Which idiotic company approved that brilliant (NOT) ad?

The boys were watching a Nickelodeon show yesterday and they had a Ukranian-type woman expressing disbelief and outrage, and she yelled “Boosha!” Apparently you can say anything these days if you just alter it a teeny bit.

There is a car wash in Hermosa Beach called “Hand Job Car Wash”.

@Gretchen: and maybe this all is a good thing - just words with no shock value.

Well, I’m all up with George Carlin on the bad words question. “There are no bad words. Bad thoughts, maybe, bad intentions — and words.”

I still wish I could keep my boys from saying “douchebag” all the time though. Except I can’t punish them with a straight face while giggling.

@Gretchen: and as long as one is considerate of others… what’s the problem?

Offensive or not?

All I can do is shake my head. I must be really getting on in years when I see ads like these and do not see or understand the humour. Or is it just me?
