    FYI I switched out the old pic which was this: [bblmedia.com]
    because some people thought it was racist. To me it just looked like a funny old white man but maybe I'm wrong. Anyhow BACK TO WORK.

    China's just doing our bubble, but doing it faster, cheaper, and with inferior quality and huge portions. So many people though.. so many credit cards to issue and granite and flatscreens and cars. Theirs could take 10-20 years to blow.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Disagree. The Commies would have put a single bullet in the head of their bankers if they crashed the world economy. We give ours $30 billion dollars in bonuses and the right to charge us 30% interest on credit cards. Communists do capitalism way better than we do.

    I suppose there's no benefit whatsoever to getting oral sex from someone who's been doing it for 40 years. Just saying.

    --Every older woman is not a grandmother. Why are women still being defined in terms of biological capacities that they may not have used?

    -- "Old person"? Looks like old women are the only ones being made fun of in that ad.

    --On the news today I heard that something called a "Grandma's Law" had been passed. It's an anti-violence measure. Like old men aren't victims of crime?

    Apparently, sexism ends only at death.

    Having experience in these matters, watching this sophomoric attempt at an ad only makes me wonder about
    the takes they shot that didn't make the cut because they were in poor taste. The one where octogenarian heroine's pink tongue swirls around the tip of the creamy shaft of her cone, dribbling foamy spumescence onto her ample granny-bags, while the froth leaves a teasing trail as it heads south to her...

    Well, you get my point.

    Good thing I got out before it affected me, huh?

    @deardearfriend:

    Your instincts were right.

    It's definitely sexist and arguably ageist because of the way the subjects are presented -- senior sex is hilarious and disgusting -- ha ha ha!
