It happens.<br /><br />On the "is it bad" scale.. I don't know what qualifies, that would be your call. IMO, flippin' isn't quite as bad as the others, because at least if a child hears that there is a literal meaning to flippin' that you can use to "explain yourself" with. There is no such thing as "frikin" or "friggin" anything, except for tryig to clean up a word that is worse... <br /><br />I just know that a Microsoft commercial is not where a kid should hear this kind of thing, which is what led me to post about it.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-28572398162553601702009-10-26T18:23:21.096-07:002009-10-26T18:23:21.096-07:00Solomon, I don't think it's cool to have s...Solomon, I don't think it's cool to have swearing in tv commercials either.<br /><br />You should get a mac, you would love it.<br />I got my mac mini in August and it's SO fast, the safari browser. And it doesn't have to be expensive. About $1000 for the mac mini, add another GB of hd, on the $599 model, then get the office upgrade for mac, and one year of in person lessons, which I haven't taken yet, cause it's easy to figure out.<br /><br />I will NEVER get another pc, they are too slow, and have too many viruses. Once you go mac....you never go back ha ha.Amusing Bunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385840951446381247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-22681880193999469262009-10-26T13:22:31.441-07:002009-10-26T13:22:31.441-07:00nothing says, trailer trash, as loud as the casual...nothing says, trailer trash, as loud as the casual drop of the f-bomb.<br /><br />(even worse when done by a woman)<br />((extra bad when the woman has a tattoo))<br /><br />i too, probably wouldn't have caught that slang- and should do better on completely deleting my imitation cuss word usage in situations where i am alarmed, hurt or infuriated. <br />is flippin' bad? i have said frickin' i know that's not classy- my mom called me out on that once....<br /><br />and since You project smart conservative values, good spelling, articulation in your writing skills-and clarity on the use of proper language...<br />Are You Single?<br />just wondering-<br />i have a few- good looking 30-45 year old lady connections you may be interested in.

I actually caught it "out of the corner of my ear" and rewound my DVR for a double take... sure enough. <br /><br />And like I mentioned to Opus, I don't have kids, so personally I'm not offended, but I tend to think like a parent since I've had a girlfriend who did have kids, aged (at the time) 13 and 10. They popped into my mind the instant I saw this, because they were at that age when they start pushing limits, and they tried this word a couple of times with their mom. <br /><br />That didn't play so well...Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-20362767781635340272009-10-25T21:01:21.775-07:002009-10-25T21:01:21.775-07:00Opie, I don't know... and while it's not c...Opie, I don't know... and while it's not completely "profanity" there are some things that little ones don't need to hear. I don't have kids, but even I have more respect than that, for Heaven's sake.. <br /><br />And FYI - I first saw this commercial today (Sunday) at around 4pm, which is an hour when kids may be gathered around the TV watching football with (or without) their parents, doing homework getting ready for Monday.. they're certainly not in bed at that hour, even on the east coast. <br /><br />So yes, it seems this will air whenever.Solomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934220245789538762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-1231752655823181012009-10-25T21:01:10.609-07:002009-10-25T21:01:10.609-07:00With the way I tune out commercials (my kids are g...With the way I tune out commercials (my kids are grown so I'm not on the look-out like I once was) I never would have heard it.
