Gross-plait.

I could be biased from my experience toiling in a dry cleaning establishment for a couple of (nauseatingly hot) summers, but it seems to me the chick in this Yoplait commercial is being a total d-wad to this seamstress lady for no apparent reason.

Here's the synopsis: wad lady enters a dry cleaner where she confronts a portly seamstress and mentions that because of all of the Boston cream pie and apple turnovers she's been inhaling, she needs her pants to be taken in. "Out?" says the puzzled seamstress. "No, in, you a-hole," says the d-wad.

Why would a person in any plane of reality would do this? Go in, mention you've been eating truckloads of key lime pie, never mention that it's freakin' yogurt, and then act like someone is a dope for not understanding why this would result in weight loss. To simultaneously flaunt your figure and make some random lady who is forced to work in 1,000 degree temperatures feel dumb?

P.S. It's nice and all that Yoplait does that whole "save your yogurt lid to fight breast cancer" thing, but man - whose job is it to gather up and count the pre-licked lids!? Gross. They should make the wad lady do it.

  2. This woman is a hipster.

    I hate hipsters, what with their edgy hair-dos, wrist tattoos, multi-colored suede Pumas and Italian strollers, which they've accessorized with some dumb kid named Hugo wearing a tiny Misfits tee.
