Now I just associate stinky, fecal, brown-stained pants with KMart.

^ I don't know about you, but I already had that association before I ever saw the commercial.
Even as a young child, I observed that Kmart was sub-par in terms of cleanliness, quality of merchandise, customer service, etc. We often called it Kfart. Then there was the store called Venture. Anyone ever been to a Venture? It was like a step or two up from Kmart/Kfart.

KMart reminds me of some of the department stores I went to as a kid---Woolworths, Bradlees, EJ Korvettes, Two Guys---but without the newness, the good lighting and the activity that those stores had. Also, without the grocery department that KMart has. To me, grocery departments seem to cheapen a department store.

Several year ago, back in the 80's & 90's, most of the KMarts around here were pretty nice stores. The one I used to shop at a lot was decent looking inside & the one up in Winter Park was (& still is I think) really nice. There was another one on the east side of town I had to switch to after the one I used to frequent closed down, that was pretty ratty looking inside & it has since closed too. When I was a kid back in the 60's & early 70's growing up over near the coast, there was a big store on Merritt Island called J M FIELDS. That place was the quintessential dirty, baragain bin, crap hole of which you speak. Looked a lot like this one. |

I love the link shorthand. One MILLION moms sh*t their pants? They must have - I can smell their crap from here.

So, they're upset about implied foul language?? I might see their point in being against the indiscriminate use of actual foul language*...but this? C'mon, already, "Moms"**!! Pick your battles more wisely.
* My main gripe is that people use the foul language, and then it gets beeped or silenced. I find that more distracting than whatever "bad words" they used. Thus, I'd rather people watch their language on TV.
** By "Moms", I mean the entire one or two members of this organization, which is probably more a website than an actual movement.

I remember going to KMart all the time when I was a kid, bought 45's there all the time. (Records, kids. Records.) The one nearest me closed 20+ years ago, and the next closest one closed within the past month. I have no idea where the next closest one is now. But they still show commercials, like this one. It's enough to make me wanna ship, Period.

I wonder what they think about Snoopy giving Lucy a big sloppy kiss/lick.

This commercial might be part of a trend- there is (was?) a cheap looking "game" show called "Oh Sit!". Then there was a movie family called the "Fockers". Ha ha

Oy vey.
But OK, I'll play along.
Here goes...
While your people bring us unpixellated images of fresh brown turds dropping from the exposed butt of a teenage skateboarder and splattering on the street.
Once again, oy vey.

Oh but they're not homophobic .. according to their delusions of grandeur, they're "Pro family" Nice, One Million Whatevers ... way to euphemize the fact that you're nothing but a group of shallow, hate filled, close minded, prejudiced C U Next TuesdayS. |

I honestly didn't know Kmart was still in business. They shut all of them down years ago around where I live. Target is the new Kmart here.

You probably just "shipped" your pants when you found out Kmart was still in business, right?

I half expected that to be full of fart jokes, considering K-mart's high standards of maturity lately. |

I guess I'm in the minority here -- I actually liked this commercial (the vid. in this thread being the first time I've seen it)...maybe just because it sounds like they're saying, I can "shiit my pants".
