"The Banette Wheat girl in the publicity caravan."
So many questions. How many hours in a row does she have to be in that thing? Is she sitting down? Is there A/C in there or do they just let her swelter??

2nd on the Evo. The commercials overall arent nearly as good as last year, though. In fact, i dont even think i could purchase an Izod product ever again. Their commercials are just so ridiculous...and that song! Geeeeeezzzz.

Bugs = Bonus Protein
I'm sick to death of that Izod commercial, too. It's so horribly superficial. Who surfs in a collared shirt, for crying out loud? And that "race" with one whole car? Please. It's stupid. And the song is stupid. And I used to love Izod. In 1983.
I wish there was a way to email the PTBs and tell them to axe that commercial. (Powers That Be)
I like Fluffy protecting his bone and stuff, though. Cute.

Michael Jordan used to stick out his tongue when he went for a particularly hard play. But he didn't dart it around like a lizard... Originally Posted by buffybike

I laughed out loud the first time that Izod ad came on, well, at Bobke too, but that was because Bobke is so cute and funny unlike those Izod kids who are absurd.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
