Depends Groovy Ads

Hey, man! Like, Depends makes their diapers look like underwear now, so people will just think you’ve gone to the bathroom in your actual clothes, rather than in a diaper! How awesome is that? And in honor of this newfound liberation for incontinent elders, or at least in honor of them being able to trick people into thinking their diapers are underwear, or whatever triumph this is for whoever wears diapers, they’ve got these new ads with that great old groovy keyboard music from the 1960s. I don’t remember the name of the song (It’s “Green Onions” by Booker T. & the M.G.’s), but everybody knows the music, and it’s pretty groovy! And they show these hip, ultra-confident people walking, no, strutting around because they know they’re wearing underwear-looking diapers that come in the color gray now (for men), and in lots of new colors and patterns for women (how sexist! Women always get the most fashionable diapers! It’s not fair!). In fact, these new Depends ads make it look positively hip and cool to pee your pants! Pretty soon everybody will be doing it just to try to be like the people in these ads! (But then they’ll regret it when they have to walk around in their own urine all day, or when they realize they aren’t wearing the Depends, and they have a big pee stain on their pants for all to see!)

Here’s one of the ads (There’s another one with a man, but it’s not up on the internet that I can find.):
