By Thursday November 19, 2009

    So one Company “Method” wants the government to take out their competitors.
    From Method’s website Company Info

    “This is where method comes in – we see a world where toxic chemicals aren’t needed to get your home sparkly clean. Our entire line of home care and personal care products are non-toxic, made with naturally derived, biodegradable ingredients that clean like heck and smell like heaven.”

    Why doesn’t this have a BS meter or something fishy?

    They not only made a titillating, very funny video, they made their point.

    I look forward to a greater public interest.

    I say let’s get that advertising firm to do some adds about Congress. Maybe THEN people will PAY ATTENTION!

    …Oh wait. I think that’s the job of our so called “news” agencies. Too bad news reporters can’t remember history or get all their facts straight (either).

    Oh well. “Shiny Suds” is still funny even if it is slightly misleading. (Enjoy the brain damage, “happy happy joy joy…”)

    Now who are they supposed to be marketing this to?

    Twenty-something eco-minded women with a few extra bucks to spend or voyeuristic old pervs?

    If my wife ever saw this commercial, she would NEVER buy their products because it would remind her of peep-show scrubbing bubbles.

    Marketing too clever by half.

    2 Jetfire,
    “So one Company “Method” wants the government to take out their competitors.”

    Huh? Proper labeling is a Good Thing. Unless you like hidden toxicity in your products. Hell there is a whole generation of women that are called the Mr Bubbles generation… they all suffer chronic urinary tract infections. Look it up.

    @#7: Ummm… What product are you talking about? The commercial is supporting a bill, not a product. You think ShinySuds is real?

    #14 – Shiny Suds is not real. But “Method” is a real company – selling a competing “non-toxic” brand.

    I have no problem with Method advertising their product and selling it by showing the difference between their product and competitors.

    But, they also want the government to pass a law which will affect their competitors. That’s not a “free” market.

    It is pretty creepy.

    I loved it.

    Where did the guys get their cinematography training?

    The Alfred Hitchcock Academy? :-)

    But I get their point.

    My S.O. insists on Chlorox-ing and scrubbing the tub every couple of months.

    No problem, when we can breathe again walking into the bathroom, we presume its clean.

    #15: The ad is by method, but not for their products. If we give Method the benefit of the doubt, then they are simply supporting legislation that agrees with their philosophy of the environment, which is reflected in their products. Of course it could be an evil plot to make their competitors spend trillions of dollars adding a few lines of text to their labels

    #15 – Just more thinking – What if Volvo put seatbelts in cars first, and then supported legislation that all car makers should put them in as well.
