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?
That was the first time I have laughed out loud from an internet post in weeks.
This is the funniest thing ever…
I watched it like 10 times …. hahahha
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.
oh, so you’re supposed to spray the shiny suds on the shower walls and tub – i’ve been using it as a body wash. bah, i never read the instructions on the label.
I would have pissed them off.

Uhhh…. standing or sitting?
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.
I laughed my ass off, this made my day.
Friggin genius. Give these ad people an award!
@#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.
loofah loofah loofah
i think i went to college with those guys
this feels more like the work of The Onion
copycats, copied the Japanese. Slimes and sex is one of their whacky things.
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.
#19 From http://peopleagainstdirty.com/
“method believes in transparency + provides ingredient disclosure on our labels and online. learn more at methodhome.com.”
So don’t tell me this isn’t an ad for their products.
Why can’t they stand on their own merits instead of getting the government to do their dirty work.
Excellent and obvious attack on Dow’s scrubbing bubbles. I like it. Yes, it’s creepy. Yes, the chemicals in most of our products are fairly creepy.
I’ve got an older post on my blog about green(er) products that work, if anyone is interested in having fewer toxins in their daily lives.

I’ve got a few more I should probably add next time I get a round tuit.

I want to be a Shiny Bubble when I grow up.
#23, TML,
Become a Limbaugh acolyte.
#24 Mr. Fusebox – Thanks for the word “acolyte”. I had to look it up but I’m glad I did.
Do Rush Limpdick followers regularly gather in womens showers to watch the er.. show? If so I may have to become a worshiper of the blathering one.
“loofah loofah!” hahaha 🙂
BUT
What is the point of this Household Product Labeling Act when average Joe have no clue between i.e. monoxide or dioxide LOL
Example:
My supposedly well-educated friend tried to avoid common-knowledge “bad MSG” in the food, checking the ingredients on cans and such.
Just few months ago I realized she had no clue that monosodium glutamate IS the freaking MSG, hahaha!
I won’t even mention the idiocy of drinking DIET crap (laced with artificial sweeteners instead of natural sugar)…
Let’s see who is behind this HPL Act?
I’m sure there are some pretty good monies to be made from this Act 😀
Reminds me of fluffy soft. MTV had a crappy
show called “The State” with one brilliant
comedy bit.
I woman is ironing her clothes and talking
about the wonderfull fluffy-soft product.
A cute little teddy-bear comes out and
starts pitching the product.
She FREAKS and screams pounding the hot iron
into the bears head.
Chemicals? Boy this girl has a great body.
#10 – Kinda bent over and backed up to them.
888:
There you go! You got to my point and did it much better.
Just who is this supposed to influence? Guys? Hell no, we don’t care!
Women? With a commercial like that??
So they are trying to sell some labeling act. To who?
