Hij staat ook al in een ander toppic, maar vind hem zelf zo leuk Na aanleiding van een gesprek met mijn man over het misleidende reclame toppic(in discussie) ging het over maandverband.
Hij werkt op het hoofdkantoor van een producent van oa hiervan.
Daar had ie gehoord over deze brief op internet.(geschreven door een vrouw in Amerika)
Zij hadden weer iets nieuws, leuke slogans op het plakstripje :roll: 8)
Oa āHave a happy periodā het mag duidelijk zijn dat de brief schrijfster hier anders over dacht :mrgreen:
(wel in het engels)
This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Prctor and Gmble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. Itās PC Magazineās 2007 editorsā choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your āAlwaysā maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, Iād probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and Iād certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I canāt tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing thereās a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from the curseā? Iām guessing you havenāt. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and Iāll be transformed into what my husband likes to call āan inbred hillbilly with knife skills.ā Isnāt the human body amazing?
As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, youāve no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers monthly visits from āAunt Floā. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize itās a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriendās testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Greyās Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy!
The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pantsā¦ Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: āHave a Happy Period.ā
Are you fuing kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless youāre some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything āhappyā about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you donāt march down to the local Walgreenās armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.
For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldnāt it make more sense to say something thatās actually pertinent, like āPut down the Hammerā or āVehicular Manslaughter is Wrongā, or are you just picking on us?
Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull sht. And thatās a promise I will keep. Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons
