I'm sorry, but am I the only person who is utterly fucking disturbed by the current Huggies commercials featuring the repeated, booming hook from the 80's Snap hit "I've Got the Power"? Whose idea was it to sell diapers using this? Is it a call to arms for children of today to rejoice in their inability to use a toilet, thus setting the pattern for a life to come where you are commended for your disregard for tradition and hygiene, celebrated for wielding excretory strength above others? Is this where society has landed? Will the future Donald Trumps have their character shaped because of this techno diva's call to arms, emboldened by the female announcer in the commercial who coos at the end "you're the MANNN!" ? I am not a parent, but still feel the need to speak.
you'd think huggies would've been better off using this line:
It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy

This blog is shaping up to be completely kickass.

The huggies commercial in my opinion was very cute.The kid finally was able to conquer going on the potty and it made him feel powerful. I don't see the problem with that.
