The Commercial That Gave Kathryn Lopez the Vapors

Underneath it all, they’re desperate and in pain
Wingnuts • Views: 52,662

I thought it might be interesting to search YouTube for the advertisement that inspired Kathryn Lopez to write her anti-contraception article, and it popped right up.

This nightmarish glimpse of a liberal dystopia is brought to you by Bayer. Feel the horror lurking beneath the surface, as these deluded, desperate women pop pills in a futile search for the true happiness only an unplanned pregnancy can bring.

Women walk into a store and literally shop for men. “It’s good to have choices.” A woman happily shakes her head at the stork and its offerings in a sassy “we girls can do anything” kind of way, promenading through an adult Barbie commercial complete with Ken, a dream house and a trip to Paris.

as an insider I tell you big pharma is your friend.

Sounds like every other commercial. I don't know what Kathryn expects.

It seems to be no different than any other commerical on broadcast TV.

I still find it hilarious that something showing women smiling and planning their own directions in life is so terrible that K-Lo got the vapors over it.

I am not real fond of abortion, that being said oral contraceptives are a much better way to go.

If there really was a War On Fertility, there would be stork feathers flying in the middle of that ad, and some good sized drumsticks on a BBQ at the end.

That's the problem. It shows happy, empowered women with freedom in their lives thanks to contraception and she sees that as a problem. To her, any commercial for Beyaz should be doom and gloom and such that no woman in her right mind would ever want to take such an awful, awful thing.

There are people who legitimately believe both of those things. Unfortunately, they hold elective office and are currently waging a war against women.

Heaven forbid a woman enjoy sex and like having it just for the sheer joy of it. Doesn't she know that every orgasm that doesn't end in pregnancy is one more strike against God? =P

19 the yankee  Sun, Feb 27, 2011 2:49:38pm

When I was younger like in the range of 12 or so. I use to watch Rush on TV and had a disliking of Bill Clinton because of him. The one thing that turned me against the conservative movement and the Republican Party was their stance on sex education and birth control. That later made me change my mind about abortion, I mean there has to be a point where it is more a sperm cell and an egg then a person.

I just find it cruel to not teach people about safe ways to have sex when the sex drive is one of the primal forces in nature. Evey living thing wants to have it as soon as possible, and they republicans talk about it as if it is easy not to do, then not have a system that will help these people out after they have a kid, just makes no sense.

It is hard enough to get a large portion of our population to eat right or do simple math or grammar or spelling ;) let alone get most of us to deny our sex drive after we turn 12.

Dang. Well, at least Augustine didn't explicitly forbid rubber wetsuits, fuzzy handcuffs, vibrating crucifixes, octopus, ceiling-mounted swings, clamps, chocolate pudding, flavored lubricants, Wonder Woman costumes, rubber chickens, exotic headware, whipped cream, video cameras, Silly String, roller skates, trampolines, nitrous oxide, balloon animals, feather boas, ball gags, or bungee cords, or I might be going to hell.

Fetishes for everybody! Wheee!

I find it hilarious that these anti-sex, anti-fun nutjobs like K-Lo always focus just on plain ol' intercourse, as if that's the only thing people do in the bedroom. They're in for a rather rude awakening. Heh.

28 jaunte  Sun, Feb 27, 2011 2:52:49pm

Kathryn Lopez:

The debate in Congress was given momentum by the Live Action investigatory videos, which raised significant questions about what exactly Planned Parenthood is doing

Stuart Schear, VP of Communications at Planned Parenthood:

“If a multistate sex trafficking operation is in place," he continued, "those responsible must be pursued to stop the exploitation of girls and young women. If these visits are part of a ‘dirty tricks’ campaign, they must be condemned. Falsely claiming sex trafficking to health professionals to advance a political agenda is an astoundingly cynical form of political activity."

It's not about the props. It's about taking pleasure in each others' kinks and fantasies. The props are just tools to help along the way. As long as both partners are on board with the idea and can have fun with it, who cares?

Sex is supposed to be fun. Why not mix things up a bit?

What I don't get about some conservatives is that they want us to keep kids in the dark about sex. I've said this before here but I am always going to be grateful to my Dad for not making sex and being attracted to women shameful for my brothers and myself. I saw a little about how some of my friends in both the neighborhood and school (not mutually inclusive since I had friends in my neighborhood who went to private school) and they just seemed more repressed.

Absolutely. It's a common rort - make a new disease that you can then rebrand an old drug for as 'treating' it and resell it all over again. If you're lucky you can get a whole new patent for the same drug, thus guaranteeing many more years of extreme markups without the drug going generic. At the very least, you get a whole new campaign to push for more prescriptions for your drug.

re: #27 Lidane

Well they may not be able to find a biblical reason to forbid sex acts in the marriage bed. It's not difficult to find fundamentalist christian churches all too conservative in this subject of course. But then some have what I call a far healthier view on sex within a christian marriage. Essentially a view that her pleasure is encouraged, and technique wise anything goes between the two of you.

A quote-"Most knowledgeable and spiritually mature Christians realize that God is the author of sex and love, and every part and sensation of the human body, and that He intended the relationship between husband and wife to be loving, sensuous, joyful, creative and full of pleasure."

Funny thing is, I was kept in the dark about sex. My mother couldn't even tell me about my period without using a pamphlet from the doctor. Her idea of sex ed was telling me not to have sex before I was married, and that was it.

If I hadn't had Judy Blume's books, or some of the teen magazines I was reading at the time, I would've been totally lost. I had to figure it all out pretty much on my own.

I use to think that about restless leg syndrome, one of the systems big pharma list in their silly commercials. Until I got it while taking a drug for my very real depression. I could not stand sitting down for more then 5 minutes. I hated driving places. The only time I could fill normal is when I laid down.

I guess different people respond differently. I just remember and I'll be blunt here but I remember my father's attitude on things about masterbation. I just basically remember him saying it was a natural desire and that there was no need to feel ashamed about it. Now, I made the mistake of opening my mouth about that to some of the kids I knew who went to Catholic school and this one kid said "Well if my Dad heard yours say that, he'd kick his ass."

True. Fantasy and kink aren't about need. They're about a couple exploring and trying new things.

The worst sex is the sex that becomes stale, routine, or where someone considers it a waste of time and loses interest. It's better to be fun and open and willing to try new things to keep the spark going.

The ones that I can't handle are the ones where the couple is side by side in separate bathtubs on a hill. First, the logistics of this boggle the mind.

Secondly, I understand that arousal is more likely if you're in the same tub.

re: #49 Obdicut

Heh. I figured out sex with a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves-- even though I'm a guy. It actually applies remarkably well across genders. And it made me understand what women were going through, which was a bonus.

I only wish my husband had done the same. I keep trying to explain to him how fertility works, and when I do, he puts his fingers in his ears and sings.

As far as I can tell, the man thinks that birth control pills are like internal condoms that last for about twenty-four hours. And the word 'progesterone' makes him break out in a cold sweat.

re: #59 wrenchwench

I see how that is a benefit for drug companies, but what about women who have severe PMS? Should it not have a separate name, and different treatment? Is that all "PMDD" is, really?

In short, yes. The question is not whether something is causing problems - severe PMS can indeed cause problems. The question is how far we want to go in 'medicalising' normal human variants. Especially in psychiatric and psychologic areas, there is a wide variety of what you might call the normal human condition. Once you start narrowing that further and further, declaring anything outside it to be a 'syndrome' or 'disorder' and thus requiring treatment, you not only start to overmedicate normal people, but also stigmatise them with a disease (although many people nowadays actively seek to be so stigmatised), and expose them to the risks of medication, not to mention the costs.

SSRIs are not benign. No drug is. The Yankee above got restless leg syndrome from taking them. That is, arguably, brain damage. Once you start medicating the normal human condition, these things are going to happen more and more frequently. In the case of PMDD, that's precisely what it is - Prozac was running out of patent, so Lilly rebranded Prozac under Sarafem, packaged this new PMDD disease, and sold the same drug, in the same dose, at full cost with a different name. Sure, a doctor could just give you generic Prozac if, for some reason, he really felt that your PMS was so bad that an antidepressant was worth the risk. But the patient is demanding Sarafem. And the drug rep is pushing it, and giving such nice perks. And the FDA doesn't approve Prozac for 'PMDD', because the FDA lets drug companies do whatever the hell they like to Americans. And insurance will cover some of it, and spread the cost to everyone else, and if costs are too much, there's always someone whose policy can get dropped or something.

This is just one article that describes these sorts of shenanigans. And it's simply wrong that Pharma is allowed to cheat Americans in this way, and expose them to the risks of medications, by medicalising the normal human condition.

re: #91 Renaissance_Man

I happened to find that article you linked shortly after your first comment on this thread. I understand what you're saying, especially about over medicating and over medicalizing. But I still have an inclination to say, with Simply Sarah above, that I'd be careful about denying its existence.

It seems so common in discussions about women's medical, or just physical, conditions for some one to say, "But X is not a disease", where "X" can be pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause. Sure, they're natural, but that doesn't mean some medical intervention wouldn't be appropriate and appreciated.

Most of all, I wish those conditions were better understood.

When a bunch of DA's in Alabama call you vindictive, that should really lead to a few moments of personal reflection about maybe, possibly being too much of an asshole.

Also, that guy needs to get over it. Sex toys should be the last thing on a state AG's mind.

I would kick the Koch's ass at croquet.

Especially if we play poison-style, and do it on the backyard court I have at my parents place in Connecticut, which is on a 15 degree slope, has a concrete cistern cover off to one side, a rosebush, and a mucky mire.

I love croquet. But only poison style.

i've probably played it wrong, but it always seemed like there was a point in most croquet games where i either got so far ahead or behind of the other(s) that the drama evaporated.

badminton, on the other hand, played on a proper court with proper racquets, is a rush.

I suggest Kathryn Lopez be forced to raise guppies at NRA-sanctioned gunpoint. When the tank is full to the brim with guppies eating each other, with more guppy babies on the way every day, and the water has turned brown and toxic, and guppies begin to float belly up, a public school educated fifth grader could explain to her how this illustrates the world at large. Maybe then she'd get it.

It's one big fish tank, Kathryn. God isn't going to save us or the guppies from the inevitable end of piss poor planning. Fewer guppies and a cleaner fish tank is the solution.

Terentatek
A creature mentioned in the video game Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Presumably created by the Sith to kill Jedi. On the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, a Twi'lek Jedi teaches Revan about an event called 'The Great Hunt' where numerous Jedi were sent out to kill the creatures. In the game Terentateks are encountered in the Kashyyyk Shadow lands (it is referred to as 'the ritual beast'), In Naga Sadow's tomb on Korriban and the Shyrack Cave on Korriban. Terentateks feed on force adepts, and are found where the dark side thrives. Slow but powerful, Terentateks use their large claws to strike foes. Many Jedi have fallen to the dark side on their quest to rid the galaxy of these abominations

I actually think that Canada made the right decision keeping this nutcase out, and I find evidence it was a correct call by the fact that Gates of Vienna and the Shrieking Harpy are spasing out over it.

'Kay, I realize the discussion has moved on, but that commercial was my real beef with Barbie. Yes, Barbie.

Body issues aside, I objected to my daughter being presented with the idea that adult life was an endless series of things to be acquired and clothes to wear. You can change your profession just by changing your clothes! Endless weddings without the bother of actual marriage! Houses that don't actually need to be cleaned, and cost $39.95!

Real adult life is nothing like that, of course.

This video was like that. Want a graduate degree? Walk by the table and pick up a diploma. No long nights of study and writing and research involved. Want a house? No need to save. Reach in and grab one.

Don't actually care much about the birth control aspect, just the false presentation of life's choices.

I kinda gave up on movies a years ago. Not much worth seeing and definately nothing worth the hassle and annoyance of going to a theater to see.

Maybe he's entitled to his own preferences? There's people who don't go in for elaborate, seven course dinners, complete with four sets of silverware. There's people who prefer tent camping to an RV. Japanese gardens are spare and simple, and so are haiku. There can be beauty and wonder in all of that.

There's porn and then there's erotica. The VHS player is for porn.

I think it depends on how hardcore you are and what games you play. The GPU is just as big a factor as the CPU though.

Not that I play anything other than nethack.

Yeah, if I were really serious I'd have two graphics cards. I'm more trying to find the best bang for my buck.

As Gene Siskel said at the time about LA Confidential: "If it were any other year, it would win." But Titanic was such a mega-hit it bowled over the competition. In a way, its delays (it was originally set for a summer premiere) actually helped it. Had it come out in July, it might have been fading just when LA Confidential came out to take its place at #1. But it came out in December and was fresh on everyone's mind at Oscar time.

Yes, America Still Needs Unions

Good article.

Behind the vague notion that unions are somehow obsolete is the suggestion that workers -- and their families -- are amply protected by the law's provisions prohibiting child labor and mandating minimum wages, safe working conditions, overtime pay and all the other standards that we now take for granted.

But if you listen carefully to "conservatives" of the ilk of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and billionaire financier David Koch, you'll learn that they want to do away with most if not all of those advances, hard won by the labor movement and its allies over the past century. Their core belief is that the state should never interfere with capital -- and therefore every law defending workers or consumers is a constitutional abomination. Their ultimate project is to return this country to the absolute dominion of the wealthy that existed before the rise of the Progressive Movement and the New Deal.

Maybe I haven't listened carefully enough, but I don't get that impression at all. My impression is that Walker agrees with FDR that public-sector unions are inappropriate.

Has Walker said that he thinks unions ought to go, period?

369 renata39.5  Sun, Feb 27, 2011 7:45:25pm

I don't know if this has already been noted (please forgive my lack of desire to read through all 368 comments. hahaha), so I'll just post it anyway. I find it interesting that Ms. Lopez states in her article that she'd like to turn back the clock to some idealistic time when women weren't promoting promiscuity. According to this article/study she'd have to go pretty far back. And based on my study of social history and literature, I don't think she's going to find that time. The ongoing socio-analytical problems caused by rose-colored glasses for the past and false fronts put up by Victorianism and then again by the Family-Friendly-Fifties never ceases to bother and slightly astound me.

Also, that commercial was ridiculously tame. I'm just struck by how pathetic it is for a woman to loudly decry the choices available for starting a family when a woman and her partner are ready and able. I never can get my brain around the idea that relegating both men and women to surprise children is somehow good for men, women, and children. *facepalm*

Here's their Boycott List...
U.S. Product Boycott List:
Vanity Fair
Quilted Northern
Angel Soft
Sparkle
Brawny
Mardi Gras
Dixie

A couple thousands kids in their basements are not going to hurt a billion dollar empire by canceling their prescriptions to Vanity Fair.

Umm, I think that Vanity Fair referred to there is a toilet paper, not the magazine.

re: #124 SanFranciscoZionist

OTOH, I fully approved of them going after the Phelpses, who are an exception to almost all rules.

While I have no love for WBC or the Kochs, I have less love for Anon. At Ars Technica a couple of weeks ago, in reference to one of the HBGary Federal stories they ran, I more or less called Anon a bunch of sociopathic misanthropes...and I stand by that.

There's nothing noble about them, they just glom onto the next random target-of-the-week and wreak havoc. No morals, no scruples, no brains...they can just be as bad as their targets.

I would just say that the commercial was incredibly lame. There is a lot more to life than just going shopping and picking up what is "available" on the shelves. But this "turn back the clock" mem is even more lame.

I liked Bagua (as a martial artist I actually know what bugua means) why stir the pot?

Well, Bagua is a disgusting, mentally deranged freak, so I guess it fiigures that you'd like him.

That aside, these losers are irrelevant and should be ignored i.e. not read. When you throw garbage out, that should be the end of the matter; you don't go back and look at it again and again. Especially not years later.
