Music that makes you dumb (Europe, classic, quote, bands)

I guess you're not old enough to have seen the particular Juicy Fruit commercial I'm talking about, but it was horrid. And probably sexually suggestive. I think that's why they ended up taking it down eventually.
Surprisingly though, I just found the commercial video on Youtube. It's saying 1981, but that's when I was born so I guess it ran for long enough.
Check it.
Be warned, it's so 80's it may give you a rat tail and/or mullet.

Haha. I remember that ad. What's so disgusting about it though?

And there's no way that's from '81. It seems much more like the mid to late 80s to me.

The 80'sness of it, mostly.

But then again, they are talking about pulling out the stick and popping it your mouth. Combined with the 80'sness, it's a recipe for Nickelback's success.

BTW, I don't mean "disgusting" in the traditional sense. I mean shameful. Makes me hang my head in dissapointment and shame. lol.

Definitely a pretty retarded ad though not really different from a lot of ads from the time. What's the Nickleback connection here?

That song Nickelback has on the radio right now, something about "you look so much cuter with something in your mouth".
It reminds me of that juicy fruit commercial.

And that's never a good thing.

That's a pretty good example of why I only listen to the radio under the most desperate circumstances.

I usually echo that sentiment, but since all my music is currently in transit from Europe and car rides get ronely and I don't want to buy music I already have, the radio comes on.
It's the garlic to my vampire, but I gotta have something.
