Baby Diaper Blues

I wish my computer would let me insert a video, but it's on YouTube and not my own, so check out this link:  Huggies Jean Diapers


That's right.  Jean-styled diapers.  Vanity at it's finest.  I absolutely love the commercial and think it's hysterical, but honestly, when did diapers become a designer commodity?  Last time I checked the real issue was a diaper's ability to safeguard against leak protection.  Now we're asking to dress up our little ones in designer poo-receptacles?  Interesting.  How vain are we becoming?  What's next?  In utero fashion?


Okay, okay, I exaggerate, but just think about it.  It is a bit ridiculous. Although, come to think of it, maybe it will mean people won't spend as much on baby jeans? If the diapers look like jeans it's one less clothing item to purchase.  Maybe Huggies is helping it's fellow man save money!  … maybe.


Either way, I still love the commercial.  I honestly waited for the cut-away to the real commercial, thinking this was the part that poked fun at the real issue, but the more I watch it the more entertaining it becomes.  I just love the serious rock-star vibe underlying the whole thing.  The words are so perfectly chosen, rhyming and having absolutely everything to do with pooping.  My personal favorite?  The last line:  "I poo in blue."  Watch the video.  You'll understand.  Next on the list?  The Depends version.
