TMI

i pretty much lack a filter. there is rarely a situation that i can say i subscribe to the idea of TMI (too much information). but, i have just been faced with a serious TMI issue that needs to be addressed. i will express this violation in an open letter:

dear advertising folks,

there is no reason to explain how your tampon is different because of they way it blows up in the body. there is no acceptable time to discuss a burning itch, or unpleasant odor on my television set. and further more, there is no excuse to show any young woman dancing around rejoicing her cycle.

i am a girl. i read girl magazines. boys don't read those. please share the intimate details of your product's ingenuity in an arena that only females will see. i would like to keep unattractive details of my canal shrouded in secrecy. let's all just pretend that neighborhood full of puppies and roses and playground fun. we should leave the decay and discomfort out of the story. it doesn't make for good press. no one will want to visit this garden if you are disclosing its dirty laundry.

thanks for listening,
trixie belden
