Special Wedding Panties

The other night I found a show on the other chick channel, WE tv, called High School Confidential. Kind of a documentary, it follows several girls through all four years of high school in a small Kansas town.

I thought it was interesting, so I kept watching. The commercial breaks were typical - ads for winged pads and birth control pills that cure cancer *and* battle acne - easy stuff to ignore.

Then there was a commercial that seemed like any other smarmy, hallmarky chick ad about something special for women, showing what appeared to be an older mother person and her two grown daughters, one of which was preparing for her wedding.

The clever camera angles and editing made it appear like one of the daughters was preparing for her wedding and talked about something special that would make the day perfect. Then BLAM - the focus shifted to the older mom - it was her wedding - and a giant pair of DEPENDS appeared in the upper corner of the frame.

I was not ready for that. Do older women really wear Depends on their wedding days? Wouldn't they make noise when walking down the aisle? Is that really the best way to sell the convenience of being able to pee your pants at any time?
