At The Commercials: Yogurt-slurping blonde hottie

Another quick commercial entry, since my previous post today was a pretty big Tag Team on the NFL playoffs and television shows.

But anyway, I enjoy this commercial every time it comes on. First off, yogurt is delicious. Every couple of months, I go on a big yogurt kick, and eat tons of it, but then I inexplicably forget to eat some for a while. After watching this commercial, I shall remember to eat yogurt for a couple more weeks.

And second, the blonde in the commercial is unbelievably cute. To insert even more numbers, one, she is physically cute, and two, I like her facial expression after she is done eating the yogurt. It makes me go, "Awww. Isn't she adorable?"

However, when I was looking around online for this clip, imagine by surprise when I found out that it is hated by many. Apparently, they equate the slurping noise she makes with oral sex, which makes me wonder what kind of oral sex the commentators are having. I don't consider that noise equivalent with finishing off the last of a Pepsi with a straw, which the commentators on that story do.

Also, the woman being attractive and marketing a diet product is an issue. Because, you know, if you're a company, it makes sense to have someone overweight pitching a diet product. I know that when I'm evaluating a diet yogurt, I'd really like to see someone 300 pounds asking me to buy it.

If you're curious - and I know you are - I was inspired to write about this now because some new, follow-up commercials with Heidi Klum have come out. You can watch them here, although I strangely don't find her as appealing as the nameless blonde girl from the first commercial. I'm not sure why, but Klum looks more normal than hot in her commercial.
