So I get home from vacation today and I turn on the TV while I'm unpacking and this is the first thing I see.

YouTube - Clearblue Pregnancy Test

After spending a few moments in a daze, I am still trying to figure out:
WHO THE FARK IS THIS COMERCIAL AIMED AT? Young men who may have had a little too much fun last night?

The guy doesn't have to pee on the stick, the girl does.

Plenty of women are a lot less prissy than it seems you give them credit for.

I thought he said sandwich as well, and I was all WTF? It's reminding her to make the guy a sandwich while she waits?!

Now that would be a pregnancy test that I would be fully behind.

I agree.


Something young dudes tend to let slip from mind (or don't know yet) is that the vast majority of pregnancy tests most woman will take is when they're trying to get pregnant. Some buy 'em by the case.

I always got a laugh out of:

Hopefully, this is only shown on cable channels.

It was funny (actually could pass for an SNL parody) but crass.

Is it a pregnancy test or a rocket?

I'd feel a little weird peeing on that work of technological magnificence.

Plus, the pee would splash on my hands, and that's gross.

Let's just hope they don't make commercials for colonoscopies.
