Default So what do you call a modern family?

I'm not a big fan of Toyota or Honda. I totally admit that. But I don't think what I'm about to say has anything about me being biased. I've been watching commercials of Toyota about their ugly looking and totally boring Camry. The commercial is about a daughter talking to her mom about how her (mother's) boyfriend is. In bed that is! So they have a laugh at it and decide to talk about it over launch. At the end of commercial they call that family a "modern family" and off course their ugly car also a "modern car".

Call me crazy, old school or whatever. But I don't think a modern family should be considered a family who is divorced, widowed, single parent or others. I mean these things are not necessary things that people would consider a normal thing. Sure there is a lot of them and it happens many times, but it's not a normal thing. I don't understand how Toyota thinks this is a cool or neat commercial. I understand how a daughter or son can have sexual questions about her parents, but common it's not modern to have a single parent, divorced or widow status. It just seems very untrue and BS to me.

What do you think?

i think its just a marketing thing. i would guess that there is a higher percentage of "broken" families & they probably want to make them think they are normal (modern), that its ok to divorce, and that its ok to buy a toyota, honda etc. (not that this is right, but you do what you have to to sell a product) commercials are no different than the movies.

What the hell are you guys talking about!

It's not normal to be "broken" or "not broken".

While you're at it, don't forget to throw in blacks and jews. No, only a white male and female married couple with 2.5 f*ck'n kids livin in a nice neighborhood is normal. No divorce, no gay/lesbian, no minority, no tolerance, no diversity, no f*ck'n brains!

Watch what the f*ck you say.

Love,

one of the "broken" ones.

Yes, you have just been flammed![sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=laughat.gif]
