"Is breaking up really hard to do? Not with the help of
Yellowbook. The possibilities are
endless."
Have you seen this new ad yet? I guess it's supposed to
be amusing, but it falls way short. A woman gets a call from her
boyfriend and he's dumping her; saying he needs more
space. All the while, his new half naked companion is in the
background. So what does the woman look up in the
Yellowbook.... Personal Trainer !!!!!
This is an unbelievably blatant declaration that when some idiot
breaks up with a woman, no matter what she looks like, it must be
her fault. i.e. ..... it must be that she's
fat, out of shape, etc.. that she is somehow lacking in the
physical sense?? There is nothing wrong with this
woman.. she's beautiful. Why don't they show her
looking for a dating service, a travel agent, even a place to buy
goumet chocolates? Instead they show her looking for a way to
change herself because of a low life, cheating scumbag of a
man. Why would they promote this concept?
I'm stunned everytime I see it.
Take a look at the commercial and see for yourself.

WOW Rowdy girl got some self esteem issues. Ever think maybe they are trying to portray the idea of don't get down on your self your better then that. Go out and do something to make your self even better.

She isn't looking up a personal trainer because she thinks she's fat. She wants to get some payback by finding someone to screw!

Um... If you would continue to watch the commercial, before getting your panties in a wad, you would see that she pauses for a moment, as if she has just thought of a brilliant idea, and "types" a new unseen search into her future computer. But, yeah... degrading and all that. Whatever.

if she was looking up a personal trainer because she thought she was fat and that's why he broke up with her, that is seriously messed up. what kind of morons would promote that in their commercial?
