Goodnites commercial.

[Raziaar]

Have any of you americans seen these commercials? With these 8-13 year old kids talking about wetting the bed, and wearing diapers of some sort called Goodnites?

How humiliating... i wonder if these kids are forced by their parents to do it. Can you imigine the humiliation of your friends seeing you on tv talking about how you wet the bed, at THAT age?

 

[CptStern]

the commercials I've seen feature kids from about 6-8 not 13 yr olds ....oh and they're actors ...child actors ...did you think they had a casting call for bedwetters?

I'm trying to picture the casting call.

EDIT: Wow, CrazyHarij... you avatar really shows itself.

Some of them are up to the age of 10-12 in the ones i've seen.

Yes, they're child actors, but child actors have lives too. I'm sure their friends would take the opportunities to tease the hell out of them. There is no professional courtesy in the realm of teenagers and pre-teens. Kids are brutal.

"mommy johnny called me a pee-pee-head, I'm sad, can I go play on my $9000 alienware computer I bought with my first royalty check? ...oh and the hoverbike I bought yesterday online should come in tommorrow ..can you get the bulter to pick it up? thanks, here's a "C"-note to tie you over till daddy comes home, luv ya mom"



you know they do have a choice as to what products they want to represent ...that's what agents are for

I guess in your old age, you've kind of lost touch with how kids can be <chuckles> But.. whatever, not gonna respond to you if you just posted here to argue about it.

I just saw the commercials, and I feel bad for the kids who act in these commercials, whether they really enjoyed doing so, or whether their agents/parents pressured them to. Most kids aren't beyond the point of not being hurt by childish insults and jokes, and you should know this. Especially kids who spend alot of their childhood rather than growing up as most others might.

 

[CptStern]

ya I can see how I lost touch with kids ...being a father and a former teacher does that to you :upstare:

I have freinds who've done commercials ...one did a beer commercial ..does that mean he's an alcoholic? the other did a dundruff commercial ...does that mean she has dundruff?

if they didnt want to do the commercials they wouldnt have done them

Dear god stern. I wasn't saying these kids WERE forced. I was just wonder if some of them were. And I mean pressured into it by their parents, or agents.

I am fully aware of the fact that if their parents didn't want them to do it, they wouldn't have to <rolls his eyes>

And are you stupid? I didn't say these kids 'do' wet the beds, I was saying if their friends saw them on tv talking about how they do. Stop being an idiot.

 

[CptStern]

do you have to be abusive? or is that just second nature to you? ...where's your christian love for your fellow man? or is that just for show ...turn the other cheek and all that nonsense


I guess it's the same had an actor done a hemorrhoid commercial or a yeast infection commercial ...sure they might get ribbed but when they pull in $5000 a month in royalties (on national commercials) for one commercial alone I think they feel it's worth it

Abusive? lol. I just don't have tolerance for idiots who come into my thread just to argue. Its not a political thread.

All i'm saying here, is that children are far less mature than adults, so you can't take and apply adult actors doing humiliating commercials, to children. And about my comment about you losing touch with children... I meant that as the fact that you seem to think all children are immune to being teased.

 

[CptStern]

heheh you're calling me an idiot? me? of all people?

stop being so childish ..I had legitimate points ...you just think everyone's out to attack you

oh and I meant it, for a christian, you're not very christian-like

Well good... cause I don't like to fit your view of a christian. You're a huge anti-christian who think they are nothing but warmongers and the dreggs of society. By your own words, you don't respect christianity. So why would your comments about me not being a christian hurt me? You don't know anything about the religion, obviously.

I'm a very nice, reserved and all around fun guy. I just happen to break loose when it comes to online discussion forums. Alot more abrasive than I am in real life.

 

[CptStern]

fool, I'm a former catholic who went to private catholic school all his life ...I also took theology in university

...and yes I have no respect for christianity, I dont hide it ..when they stop preaching hate, I'll reassess my opinion till then they'll receive my scorn and derision ..cuz wtf? it's my opinion ........right?



anyways back on topic ....commercial actors are extremely well paid ...I dont feel sorry for them

Preaching hate? LOL. What, are you listening to those mother****ing KKK pricks or something? All the non politically motivated christians I listen to preach nothing but love and acceptance.

Also... Your 'catholic' upbringing doesn't really have much to do with a non denominational christian upbringing, so how can you relate? I consider christianity and catholocism entirely seperate entities, loosely based on the same religion.

Does my 'insulting' you on a public forum somehow make me a bad christian? LOL. That's funny.

 

[CptStern]

same shit different pile ..or would you like to debate the finer theological points that seperate the 2 religions? where should we start? the catholic reformation? the council of trent?

spare me

Gays spit on Christ
"Homosexual activists who once asked for tolerance now show no tolerance or sympathy for Christians whose sacred symbols they defile.

k can we get back on topic? the kids have a choice , I dont feel bad for them

 

[Raziaar]

Why do you have the desire to turn this into a religious discussion anyways? Waaaay off topic. I hope you plagarized somebody elses link compilation like before, and didn't waste all that time doing it by yourself here just to make a point that I don't even care to read about? This isn't the politics forum, bro.


EDIT: LOL. like this webpage...

http://www.hatecrime.org/subpages/hitler/hitler.html

Do you 'ever' do any of your own link compiling? or you find websites that already have it done? LOL Much of what you posted here, was just a copy paste job from other websites. Quit stealing other peoples effort :-P

At least now I don't feel bad, since it took you about 20 seconds to make that post.


And you know what? I watched a gay vs anti-gay documentary, developed by the pro-gays... and on it, there was a old religious lady crying, and she said something along the lines of, "I don't hate them... I don't hate them."

You can disagree with somebodies lifestyle, and not hate the person. Things aren't black and white.

 

[CptStern]

I suppose the sign of someone who cant formulate an intelligent response is to try to discredit a single source in a sea of sources ......but thanks for trying

[Dalamari]

Have any of you americans seen these commercials? With these 8-13 year old kids talking about wetting the bed, and wearing diapers of some sort called Goodnites?

How humiliating... i wonder if these kids are forced by their parents to do it. Can you imigine the humiliation of your friends seeing you on tv talking about how you wet the bed, at THAT age?

If I was that kids parents and he wet the bed, I would heat up a pair of tongs until they turn red, then grab his penis with them and yell "BAD!"

 

[JellyWorld]

Well the issue is that adult actors choose to act in the commercials, whereas children really don't have a choice, their parents pressure them to do it.

I agree ...factual inacuracies bug me ...so I couldnt help myself :E

 

[Raziaar]

I agree ...factual inacuracies bug me ...so I couldnt help myself :E

And judging an entire religion based on the actions of small or large groups who practice that religion, bug me.

You know, that would be like calling all muslims terrorists because the terrorists strike out against the world in the name of allah, saying god told them to do it. You're as bad of a person as those losers who accuse innocent muslims of being terrorists just because of their religion. That's what bugs me...

 

[CptStern]

had I generalised, had I used only a single source, had I made blanket statements about christians I'd agree ..but in most of the sources I quoted it was they themselves who said hateful statements ..it wasnt implied, it was overt

You did generalize, and use blanket statements. I told you how not all christians preach hate, and you went on and on and on and on to try to 'prove me wrong', on how christians in general are scum, and how thats the reason you don't respect them. Because all christians are the same, right? Thats the way you go about it stern.

Me... I go about it much differently. I am able to observe and distinguish between those groups 'within' the religion. You have those crazy nutjobs who hate other religions... you have those people on a crusade against homosexuality, you have those murderous KKK **** suckers, and so many other groups within the religion. THeir actions do not define me, or other christians who are not apart of their own subset of beliefs that differ from the religion itself? So why should you disrespect the religon based on them solely?

Do you not respect islam based on terrorists?

 

[Dalamari]

This isn't about religion you dumb c**ts, jesus, stay in the politics forum.

They'd get teased intill they mentioned the Alienware computer. Then everyone would be bowing down and shut up. Seriously.. this will happen.
