Every Kiss Begins With Kay

So I'm watching the Lions/Cowboys game and during a commercial break I had the misfortune of viewing a Kay Jewelry commercial, which claimed "every kiss begins with kay."

I gotta say I certainly hope this isn't true.

In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say MOST kisses DON'T begin with Kay.

Discuss.

    no, it's not true. though it is true that most last kisses begin with kay. cos god knows once she gets that rock she's never putting out again.

    Not sure about other languages, but German Küss begins with K.

    I gave my last girlfriend a plastic ring from a $1.00 candy surprise bag.

    If you don't get your girl a diamond or a Lexus, you're pretty much screwed. I'm supposed to be happy with getting a Braun electric razor though. I'd love to see the commercial where the girl is happy because she got a blender from Wal Mart. Thanks a lot tv, its not hard enough already.

    It's actually all the Da Beers corporation. I've brought this up here before.

    The Da Beers corporation controls 80% of the diamond industry and sets the market price on diamonds.

    Diamonds are really just compressed carbon. They are formed in kimberlite pipes in the earth under extreme heat and pressure. Methods have already been developed to create "synthetic diamonds" using the same process. http://www.lifegem.com does this with the ashes of cremated human beings.

    In the past people would pawn their diamonds if their relationship was terminated. Da Beers started a marketing campaign "A Diamond Is Forever" to encourage people to keep their diamonds. Similarly they created the marketing campaign "A Girl's Best Friend" to convince women that diamonds were better than other gemstones. It used to be that other gemstones were more popular because they were colourful and diamonds were considered bland. The rarity of diamonds is no greater than other stones.

    So you can thank Da Beers for the diamond parasite in our culture. Even though women might become aware of these facts, they don't lose their affinity for diamonds, proving that Da Beers succeeded in programming the culture.

    I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of those damn commercials!!! UGH!






























    Sidenote: I'm probably just bitter because no one's ever given me jewelry.

    diamonds are nothing more than a status symbol (and a stupid one at that) there are lots of silly women that size each other up with pretentious thoughts of "wow, since the diamond that my man bought for me is so much bigger than the one that she got from her man, it must mean that I'm loved more and that makes me superior"

    diamonds have become just an ostentatious way of people trying to put a $ value on love...and all kinds of idiots, men and women alike have fallen for that crap in their desperate need to keep up with the expectations in a relationship. it's sad that the merits of a couple's relationship are perceived by the rock the man buys for the woman to wear on her finger

    But tv said my girl will only love me if I spend a lot of money. I thought love was measured by the price tag of the gift I bought.

    I tried arguing with my wife about HD Tv's are so much more worth the money than a friggin rock......I asked...how long have you stared at this HD thing of beauty and how long you look at your ring I bought you......shit, I think she wore the leather coat "she really" wanted twice. And she isn't even really materialistic

    They make it sound like your a piece of shit if you don't waste 4 months of your pay on a piece of compressed carbon. I fucking hate those commercials. Uppity motherfuckers

    I wouldn't be with that girl very long if every kiss began with Kay. The bitch would run me out of all my money.

    Yeah, a blender would be nice to make some drinkies. :D But I'd be really happy if I got some massage oil, and a massage to go with it. ;)

    I don't know quite what it is about these jewelry store commercials that gross me out so much. Maybe it's the gross mass-produced jewelry being pawned off as some symbol of love.

    I feel the same way. It is SO Blah.. . People spend SO much money on rings and weddings and focus WAY less on spending their lives together.

    yeah the whole diamond thing is way overrated. sure they're beautiful, but i'd be pissed off if someone spent that much for a piece of jewelry for me. i'd rather go on a 3-week trip to europe or something instead!

    i had a friend who years ago, actually had her gifts of jewelry *appraised* to find out how much her boyfriend had spent on her :eek: suffice it to say i don't speak to her anymore, the materialism bent never quite shook off.

    i'm bigger on sentiment that monetary value myself. then again...i might just be cheap :o lol i wouldn't trade the jewelry my man has given me for the biggest diamond boulder that exists.

    i also always just hate the women's reactions when they get the piece of crap jewelry in those commercials- like the husband just cured cancer especially for her or something.

    Honestly, I am big fan of jewelry. I love artistic things. and I wouldn't mind a boyfriend or whatever to give me some. But it's like any other gift. it's like if a guy picked out some very unique piece of artful jewelry that he thought I would like, that would be a great gift. But it's still just a gift...and the stuff from Kay and these other places...not artful! it's like just throwing something shiny at the woman and hoping she'll have that stupid reaction the women in the commercials do.

    Me too.. four thousand on a ring could be quite a trip to Europe :D My fave pair of earrings are a pair I paid like 10 euro for at a little shop in Florence. They are so pretty and bring back the memories of my trip. That is what means something..

    fuck yeah, keep the rock and give me a plane ticket dammit. that'll earn *way* more than some funky kiss with kay from me haha

    i love wearing stuff that i've gotten or others have gotten me from other places, absolutely it's the memories they give you, if not of where you got it, then who gave it to you.
