At least one more Michael Bay post

Does Michael Bay make me lose my mind? Why have most of my entries this past week directly or indirectly involved him? Add one more to that number, because I wanted to describe a commercial of Bay's I saw in the Nineties and still remember. I've had no luck finding it online, but I can describe it...

Montage Gorgeous, scantily-clad women cavort and/or cast come-hither glances at the camera.

Soundtrack: "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals.

Scrolling message across bottom of screen as cavorting, come-hithering and "She Drives Me Crazy" continue: MESSAGE TO GUYS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS A COMMERCIAL FOR DOCKERS COLORED KHAKIS. THE COMPANY ASKED US TO MAKE AN AD SHOWING THEIR COLORED KHAKIS. WE SAID SHOWING SCANTILY-CLAD WOMEN WOULD WORK BETTER. AND THEY BOUGHT IT. OF COURSE, FOR US TO GET AWAY WITH THIS, THE ADS HAVE TO BE REALLY SUCCESSFUL. SO GO BUY LOTS OF DOCKERS COLORED KHAKIS. IF YOU DON'T WE WILL BE FORCED TO SHOW MEN IN THE ADS. LIKE THIS.

Music Stops

CUT TO: Bored male models standing in the desert, wearing Dockers Colored Khakis and no shirts.

Soundtrack: Wind noise.

Scrolling message across bottom of screen: ...WE DON'T WANT THAT, DO WE?

Back to cavorting, come-hithering and "She Drives Me Crazy"
