I doubt it.

I hate to break it to all of you, but the target demographic realizes this commercial for what it is. A mock of the Sir Mix A Lot ‘Baby Got Back’ video. The fact that only one person here seemed to get that reference makes me believe that most people here are not in that target demographic.

The guy who cooked at our local Carls kidnapped a young girl, molested her and then hacked her to pieces and kept her in his apartment .

I am about 4 years over the hill for their demographic. I guess I’m a geezer now and will just have to get used to it.

Actually the song “Flat Buns” is a modern day spinoff/remake/parody whatever of “Baby Got Back”. Does anyone know who sings it?

The 30-35 year old part of the demographic might know Sir-Mix-A-Lot but I don’t think the 18 year olds know him anymore than they know Perry Cuomo.

It is a little tough to take when somebody claims that a professional adult actress is a “victim”.

Is this ping list a “how to” lesson for teenage boys to get some love from their hot female teachers?

I don’t know where these women were when I was in school.

I’m sure many of them do. I knew plenty of songs from the 70’s when I grew up. Not all of them, but certainly the one’s that were popular enough to have invaded pop culture and lasted. I would say Baby Got Back has done the same thing. They may not know the video but they know the song. Heck, I just saw it on a Simpsons episode that was made this year or last.....

That’s true I suppose. I’m a fan of Pink Floyd and Led Zepelin and they did their best work when I was still 9 years old.

"How irresponsible can you get?” said the Tennessee Education Association in a statement on their website. ”At this very moment, there are female teachers in high school classrooms with 30+ students who are working hard to teach our children so that they can compete in today's world. It is unbelievably demeaning to every one of them to promote a television advertisement showing a young teacher gyrating on top of her desk while boys in the class rap about her body in order to sell hamburgers!"

The snotty huffiness from these folks is as strong as it ever was. They're much overrated. Sure, education is important. But just think how good it would be if large portions of the instruction time weren't taken up promoting leftist cant by teachers the majority of whom were among the least capable intellectually of their fellow college graduates, zombies from The Graves of Academe.

There was an article I saw today to that affect on Real Clear Politics.
