Gamestop Commercials: Maybe a bit too far?

Over the past few months, a few commercials have caught my eye, mainly because it isn't something that my mother would like to see. Gamestop has had a few commercials out, some of which, I've found very funny. Here was the first one:



And this one....



Now is it just me, or are these geared more at teenage gamers? I noticed the second one come on ABC once whenever I was in the living room with a few siblings and my mom. When she realized what was being blurred out she turned the channel and changed it back about 30 seconds later. I'm curious, have they pushed it just a little too far? Personally, I don't mind them, but I know a lot of parents that don't like commericals cursing, even if it is covered up by a sound like in that first one.

LOL those are the kinds of commercials you expect to pop up on World's Funniest TV Ads specials or whatever. I personally didn't think they were too bad. The second one, for example, merely pokes fun at a pretty well known joke, that ol' parents-find-your-porn-stash moment a lot of other commercials and sitcoms include anyway. They just usually show a bikini-glad model or something so they don't need to blur it.

If people think these are bad, they really don't watch enough tv to catch some of the really raunchy advertisements. Well, they're suggestive, at most, but compared to these, you could very well call them "raunchy"... such as the mattress commercial where a couple sees a tent in the sheets and pull it back to see... a loose bed spring. There's quite a few other ones I catch now and then when the tv is on.

You think that's bad? Check out these Levi commercials... I don't like them and i'm a 20 year old dude craving porn everyday and needless to say, very horny. I just think it's weird seeing this on TV.
