Finally, an Incontinence Underpanty to Match My F-Me Pumps.

We dug the gimmick this time. And this time. And this time and this time. But this is one saunter-through-time too many.* And we’re not standing for it!

Especially for a product like sexier incontinence underpants.

Expect to see the ad, dubbed “Evolution” (like one of the aforementioned raping-time pieces), on national TV, in print versions and online through 2010. And you can thank zig for that.

Client: Tena, which seeks to position itself as “The evolution of bladder protection.” We got the PR direct to us, but props also to AdFreak for shooting us the spot, like, 2 minutes before, because apparently they’re slightly higher on the mass-mailer hierarchy.

*Poorly-executed, to boot. Catch that moment where the flapper outfit just randomly appears? Ugh.

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.
