Hi there.
Can we suck in our cheeks any further?

This guy is lining up a pool shot, and there's this cooey music
with female moaning and whispering "Dentyne Ice".
Just as our pool man is about to gnaw right through his cheeks,
this mystery woman comes up and just starts kissing him for no reason.

Should I really believe a woman goes to a pool hall by herself (in a cocktail dress),
armed with Dentyne Ice and ready to slobber all over some random guy
who is sucking his cheeks in like a goldfish?
Who do they pay to come up with this crap?

I recieved this note from the ad's producer:

Hi Nathan, Just want to set the record clear and straight. The Dentyne
Ice "Pool Hall" commercial is over 5 years old. How do I know? I was
there when it was filmed in Bayside Queens New York. Don't you think
it's about time you removed it from your site? It would also be nice to
finally give [name deleted> and I a break and remove the posting so that we all
can move forward. As a freelancer who has worked many years in the
business I need all the help I can get to stay working. This posting
should be removed finally. Who really cares what happened 5 years ago
anyway. Can you please give us a break already.
Signed: The creative team.


My response:

Hi [name deleted>,

I'm glad you and the team are enjoying the site and I hope to see you
as a regular user on the new message board.
It would be nice to see some opinions from "the other side".

You'll see that I've removed your names from the website,
and hopefully within a few weeks,
Commercials I Hate won't be the very first link when you google your own name.

I've also updated the page to reflect the facts you've presented to me
regarding the age of the Dentyne Ice commercial.
I hope I haven't done you a disservice by failing to remove my review.

I worked for years as a freelance PA and I would have hated to see a website out there criticizing my PA abilities,
describing how the 2nd AC on the Ludacris video failed to get the hot dog he asked me for,
or that I accidentally made eye contact with Missy Elliott, completely breaking her lip-syncing concentration.

I wish you continued luck and success and I admire your pluck in the face of adversity.

I still stand my my story that that guy was perfectly capable of getting his own hot dog.

Take care,
Nathan Alexander
