TV networks to air commercial depicting menstruating men and boys…

Several TV networks have agreed to air an underwear commercial portraying a surreal world where men and boys menstruate. The ad opens with an anguished young teenage boy sheepishly telling his dad, “I think I got my period.”

Dad later hugs him and tells him, “It’s just part of growing up.”

Many of the nine rapid-fire vignettes in the one-minute, 20-second ad are jarring: a man rolls over in bed, revealing blood-stained sheets; in a public bathroom, a man passes a tampon to another beneath a toilet stall partition; and a man walks through a locker room with a tampon string dangling from his briefs. In one, as a young man and woman suggestively kiss, he stops to say, “I’m on my period.”

As of last week, the commercial was slated to run on 18 channels beginning today, according to a Fast Company report that explained the ad has been selectively edited for certain networks squeamish about some of the content.

The best thing to do with mentally Ill people is to just ignore them!

Don’t give them any attention or even the time of day

My suggestion is get rid of cable and get rid of television

Whatever you ever wanna watch on TV you can always get on the Internet without commercials anyway

Where to avoid it...

“NBC’s Bravo and Oxygen channels, as well as MTV, BET, and VH1 will be airing the ad in its entirety. Discovery Networks’ HGTV, the Food Network, and AMC’s WE TV and A&E will show a tampon-string-free version.

ABC, CBS, and BBC America have reportedly rejected the ad outright.”

GEORGE ORWELL,"1984".....

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted; every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

And our very English words are being discarded, mutated or manipulated every day, also, as we all know.

Brace yourselves, folks....coming soon, these abnormal, Orwellian sanitary products commercials will soon be categorizing them as "menstruation and womenstration health aids".

You can bank on it.

Hey, I wish I had known blue balls were real. (They are, and no, you don’t need “release” to cure them.

This is so freaking disgusting. I mean there was a funny ad a few years back with men saying things women usually do, like: do these pants make me look fat? I have my mother’s thighs, I just have to accept that. It was silly and cute. Now we have shaving girls and menstruating boys. And these are American businesses shoving this down our throats.

What in heaven’s name is wrong with these people?

since there is a segment of women always whining about a "Pink" tax on female goods and services, do tampons for men cost less than those for women???

Kids just as shocked with that announcement - thought it appropriate.

Gramps has quite a few old time pictures of kids.

“....and no you don’t need ‘release’ to cure them”

Oh man!! Don’t say that!! That was one of my most persuasive and successful arguments back in the day.

Why does the article call any person that menstruates a man or boy? Language matters. Conservative news outlets must stop making it seem as though the lies of the transgender movement are possible. Men do not have periods. These “men” are obviously biological female. So this whole monthly cycle should not be news. So the only reason for such commercials is propaganda. Resist.

So how much were these men and boys paid for their self respect?

My tampon strings NEVER dangled. Plus, how big’s the blood stain (mine were in my underwear)?
Sorry if this upsets anyone.

At the next Democrat Debate:

The question to the candidates:

Raise your hand if you are in favor of providing "menstruation education" to male undocumented immigrants.

All twelve. That figures.
