Seems like they're finally twigging to the Brits have bad teeth problem, and trying to sell them ever more complex solutions from laser whitening to strips, to toothpastes to combat the latest scurge - acid erosion. <BR/><BR/>All that OJ is finally ringing the death knoll for the chompers, apparently. The amount of money spent on advertising that I'm supposed to have gleaming white teeth and perfect breath every single second is enormous. <BR/><BR/>Of course, as I'm all wrinkly-faced and bacteria-infested, it's saying something that I would even feel compelled to smile! hahaah.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075173838509533833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585387429822166808.post-43446633767545132182009-03-12T13:02:00.000-04:002009-03-12T13:02:00.000-04:00I feel targeted by Weight Watchers all the time. ...I feel targeted by Weight Watchers all the time. I'm sure it's just because I feel massively overweight, but it seems like they are always advertising and telling me how much I need to lose weight. <BR/>Granted, I ignore them, turn off the t.v., eat some Jell-o (100 calories!) pudding, slather on some Oil of Olay lotion and clean the kitchen with my Clorox anti-bacterial wipes...

I'm disappointed to think that the only people interested in me are poeple who think I'm getting too old and too fat (lean cuisine and the like seem to target 30-something women, too).
