AmaCam+Digby Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 didnt see it on the morning show... more of a "the circle" girl myself (when I'm ever at home at that time :S ), came across it in a youtube-vortex, I really like it too.. its more of a light way to get the message across, especially at this time of year....

jacqui835 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I guess I'm the only one then who found the whole thing slightly disturbing - especially the part at the end where she hands him his 'parts' in a jar... I love Katherine Heigl and am pro most people desexing their dogs, but this commercial doesn't do it for me, I just found it weird and yeah, disturbing. I'm also not sure that I agree with the line of argument. Everyone knows there are too many animals bred, but they still breed. So lets make them feel like balls are ugly, and then they'll desex to make their dogs more attractive to society. Well, what about all the people who think a long tail on a dog is ugly? If you find a part ugly on a dog or human or anything really, you don't just cut it off... I get that it's meant to be a joke. Hopefully it works I guess. Or better yet, hopefully next time a big name movie star will spend 2 minutes talking about responsible pet selection, maintenance, training, care and the responsibility, time, money and effort associated and we can focus on treating the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms.

I agree, whilst it was funny, and it was entertaining - it didn't seem to address the real issues as to why desexing your dog is important. It did appear to just focus on the unattractiveness of the 'balls'. This angle has the potential to work - the amount of people who hang on to the words of celebrities because it's 'fashionable'. However the repercussions may indeed be that people stupidly thinking it's ok to 'chop off' any other perceivable 'ugly' part. Katherine Heigl cracks me up though. She's great a keeping a straight face throughout! I wonder how many takes it took to shoot this piece perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt this did much other than tittilate. The propped up boobs over cutting off balls grossed me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I loved It. What people have been doing till now hasn't worked, if this helps one dog from being used to have puppies then that is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It's a "funny or die" skit, nit an ad so I do t know what some people are getting so upset about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugeanjaam Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hilarious, and makes its point. Even if only a couple people listen and desex due to the humor and the message coming from a celebrity then it has served a good purpose. Sometimes I think people need to enjoy the funny side of things and stop analyzing everything to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It's okay. It's amusing enough. If it works, all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui835 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 It's a "funny or die" skit, nit an ad so I do t know what some people are getting so upset about. I wouldn't say I'm getting upset over it or anything, just didn't find it particularly enjoyable to watch and I found myself cringing a few times. Can you imagine the whole thing reversed? A man holds a woman's ovaries in a jar, while she begs him to borrow them for a night? The whole thing was just a bit weird for me. But doesn't change that I love Katherine Heigl and I can see what they're trying to do. It's just I feel like we've spent the last 10+ years trying to tell people it's not ok to modify their dogs for aethestic reasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 That's just weird. I find it disturbing that a dog is disgusting because it has what nature gave it. If it's meant to be funny or informative then it misses on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
