I dunno, I think a lot of commercials are out to make people look stupid, except for the person who uses the product, because they're smart for using this product. And people like to be/feel smart.
Like the Ikea commercials motto, "You don't have to rich, just smart," implying the people who shop at other furniture stores are dumb shits who pay for higher/full price.
Or how 'bout the one with the pot drainer. They show a slip of an absolute idiot who spills while trying to drain water from the pot of pasta using conventional pot lid, then she uses the new pot draining lid and the fucking thing is the best invention ever since beer. Damn, does she feel proud of herself when she uses that new pot draining lid that doesn't make her pasta spill.
Or the product makes perfect non-stick greese-free eggs. Again, shows an imbicile who cannot make perfect eggs, always breaking the egg when he/she tries to flip the egg and uses wayy too much oil. But when he/she uses the new product, the egg is perfectly cooked, in perfect condition, and NO greese. How fantastic!
So it's not just the tampon commercials.
