I like having my drain pipe snaked just as much as the next happy homemaker, but seriously, Liquid-Plumr, "Double Impact"?! Why not call it "Deep Pipe"?
(Am also curious who their advertising agency is, Vivid Entertainment?)
And while I could be wrong about this, I think it's pretty safe to assume the "Double Impact" ad was created by a guy (Joe the Plumber?).
Truth be told, I found the Liquid-Plumr Double Impact commercial hysterical (as did the spouse), but I'm not going to rush out and buy a bottle, nor am I going to start fantasizing about plumbers. (I've had a lot of plumbers work on my pipes over the years, and the only fantasy I've had is them fixing the problem the first time and not overcharging me.)
Thoughts?

A long cry from "Josephine the Plumber." Remember her?

I didn't find it funny and in fact found it VERY insulting.
When will they learn that women are not swayed to purchase like a 14 year old sex starved boy would?
Tell me it works and is cheaper-SOLD!!! Bottom line me!
@Anonymous, I found it funny in large part because some person with a penis (though probably older than 14) thought that ad would convince women to run out and buy a bottle of Liquid-Plumr. (That said, I do find these over-the-top misogynistic ads -- Just for Men hair color, anyone? -- amusing.)
@Furbo, if Comet updated that ad, Josephine would probably be a bleached blonde with an enhanced rack, helping some helpless house husband.
