I'm just waiting for a Macaroni&Cheese commerical set to "Me So Hungry".

[rhombus]

It'll sell. The song is well known by the demographic they are aiming at despite any previous bans.

[Tax-chick]

Words fail me.

[joesnuffy]

They should combine ads with the new Burger King commercial..

[Rakkasan1]

maybe Applebees can do a " my baby's got back ribs" tune

[finnman69]

cum puella incedit minore medio corpore sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos

[Niteranger68]

I saw a funny twist on the original version of this song. See it here: http://www.compfused.com/directlink/615/

I think allowing this sort of material to be used in childrens ads induces children into sexual behavior, it's irresponsible of target to use this in their ads.

"MTV even barred the song during the daytime because of the rump-shaking women in the video."

Things sure have changed quickly. MTV has softcore porn now while the Walt Disney channel shows worse during their teenybopper shows.

Jewelry stores can now use ZZ Top's "Pearl necklace" in their ads.

[silent_jonny]

Some might be put off by the campaign -- after all, MTV even barred the song during the daytime because of the rump-shaking women in the video

Oh how times have changed.

We were in Target the other night looking for some clothes for our 5 year old daughter. Apparently Target has adopted the "Bratz" look in the clothing they sell for little girls. Prosti-tots, as Mike Stratka would call them.

Hip-hugger jeans, short skirts, short t-shirts with such witty and clever sayings as "It's all about ME", and "I love being a Brat", etc.

Lovely.

We went to Wal-Mart, and it wasn't much better. We did, though, end up finding some items that were proper for her, but it's getting harder and harder.

Why are people upset? They are using the SAME beat with DIFFERENT lyrics. What is the problem with the ad? Is there something wrong with the music once you take away the raunchy lyrics? I fail to see it.

"We like backpacks and we cannot lie, cell phone pocket on the side"... I almost fell out of my chair the first time I saw the ad.

Old Navy started it this year by resurrecting the song, 'Bust a Move' and changed the words to sell summer tunics. The song became, 'Bust a Tune'.

[zook]

They play the song at middle school dances. Nearly every kid knows it. I was at a friend's daughter's Bas Mitzvah recently and the kids were singing kareoke along with it.

It's become mainstream.

I saw this ad yesterday.

Can somebody explain to me why all the stores are trying to become hip-hop/rap oriented? Even Burger King now is joining McDonald's.

I don't get it. That won't really attract the youth like they think, and it will just turn off so many more (and I like some hip-hop occassionally).
