i was never the sensitive infertile. in fact, it was always husband who avoided friends with children, cried with pregnancy announcements, and turned the channel during diaper commercials. i, on the other hand, just made plans for cocktails with friends instead.
this new line of commercials though, i just can't watch. wtf? i can even appreciate the dark humor. what, am i getting sensitive in my old age? maybe it's the dead baby stuff. i don't know. and brooke...she went through infertility...is that why she finds it funny? i guess maybe at some point before september 9, 2007 i would have found it funny as hell. maybe.

I don't know if I'm offended, but I do think it's in pretty poor taste. I definitely don't see how it's funny...
yea, I've never gotten those either.
Oh ya. I'm highly put off by those ads. In fact, I like her less b/c of them.
Those commercials have been skeeving me out since I saw the first one a few months ago. Tasteless.
I'm so glad someone else finally said what I've felt for so long! I used to like her and now, well, I just don't know how I feel about her!
I hate those, with a passion. Started swearing at the TV one day, which surprised husband, who hadn't seen them yet. So I suffered through it one more time so he could see (we have TiVo, so have the option to fast forward and not watch), and he was dumbfounded. "WTF was that?" and "extremely poor taste" were the highlights of the monologue he delivered upon regaining his ability to speak. So maybe it is a deadbaby thing, but certainly not just the deadbaby woman thing.
I hate it too and I couldn't put my finger on why. Maybe it's just the fact that she makes it sound like having a baby as easy as making the choice.
Ok, I'm in the minority here, I can't say I *hate* them, but I really don't get them. I don't see the humor, even if I try very hard to step outside my situation.
And I keep looking at the woman hoping it's a faux plastic thing under her shirt, because god wouldn't that suck to cut this commercial and then have your baby die?
Gotta agree not funny. But then again, I also don't enjoy those insurance company caveman commercials either.
