That really is bad. The only person I've heard use the word slacks in <i>years</i> is my 76-year-old grandma. I do buy my husband's pants, because he'd walk around with giant holes in the ones he's got if I let him... but yeah, I share your sentiment regarding the message. Wow, Lori. That really is bad.

Slacks? Seriously? How OLD was the MAN who wrote that, because I don't know too many women who buy their husbands pants, let alone slacks. He can buy his own damn pants! I'm busy buying my own stuff! I can't even look at that product now. They offended me twice over. I saw a banner ad in the mall that turned me off completely: “Surf the Internet while your wife buys you slacks.”

I'd hit the Spam button and into the Spam Black Hole it'd go. Then again, not knowing the actual product behind the bad pitch, perhaps it *was* herbal viagra and/or it *deserved* to be treated as such.
