You're so right! I am middle-aged, and so terribly angry that I'm physically hideous. From this day on, rest assured. I will change my ways. I never realized that sex sells. Come to think of it, you're right! Never noticed that! I'm not so sure anyone else has, either! With your skillful wordsmithing, you may wish to considering a career as author. I sit meek and humbled by your insights. I'm sure countless others will be startled and enlightened by your revelations. That you took valuable seconds to enlighten me for my wasteful and ignorant post speaks volumes about your willingness to better the condition of women everywhere. Gratefully, Laura Jason:

Does that mean that their computers are not as good? In addition to growing up, maybe you should also grow a brain. And furthermore, how in the world can you justify

Grow up. It's a commercial. It's not real life and it's not intended to be serious. Sex sells. Both to men and to women. You're probably the type that believes that violent tv and video games encourage people to become more violent, am I right? You sound like a bitter middle aged woman who is pissed that she's not as attractive as she'd like to be and because of that is taking out her own self-esteem issues on everything in sight. Tough. Grow up, this is the way the world works hun, money makes the world go 'round and sex sells, for better or worse, these are the facts. learn to accept them instead of wasting your time posting things like this.
