| Have you seen this.. Dead Puppies, Dead Puppies?! Lately Kleenex has been running and re-running their commercials for Let It Out.com with the couch on the street and people are suppose to share moments that made them cry.. Well the one I can't stand or figure out.. is the woman talking about her wedding and the makeup artist telling her " Don't Cry" so as she walks down the aisle to meet her husband she thinks.. " DEAD PUPPIES, DEAD PUPPIES" as a way to make her NOT cry?? That is what she says. Lately the mention of dead puppies is not a popular topic.. ( let alone anyday in my book) But it is just bizarre.. it doesn't make sense to me.. am I alone? Does anyone else think it is inappropriate? If so.. here is the contact info. Feel free to send your thoughts..I did. https://www.kimberly-clark.com/ask/k...x.com&ssl=true And next time I hear about dead puppies.. I think I'll grab a PUFFS.

No Longer a Member | That is really dumb, and totally inappropriate for the moment they are trying to display. The only time I've ever seen the "dead puppies" or often "dead babies" comment is in some kind of sitcom or comedy movie when some guy is trying to keep from getting too excited with a girl. Kleenex is way off in trying to use that in this type of moment. Shame on them! That is in really bad taste. They'll probably get lots of complaints. I, personally, have never seen this commercial, but that sounds really bad. |

| Inappropriate????? OMK!!!! What were they thinking!!!!! Oh yea, one with NO brains can't think! I will Never buy Kleenex brand ever again!!!! I'm calling, and sending out a letter. They get a big in my book. I hope never to see that commercial again. I didn't know that's what she was saying until you pointed it out. Thanks Rhonda, if we all put our in put on it, maybe they will take it off, I'm sick of seeing it. I wouldn't use that brand now if they were givivng it away!

| I completely agree....i don't understand that commercial at all....Dead Puppies!!!!!?????? That would make me cry not keep me from crying not to mention the timing .... in the middle of a crisis with all of the recalls...the advertising exec in charge should be held responsible for such a poor choice. They are certainly paid well enough...you would expect them to be more sensitive.

Now that I hear it's "dead puppies" I understand and think it's disgusting and stupid! What in the everlovin' earth were they thinking? |

| Oh my goodness...I didn't realize that was what she was saying. I thought she was telling that her dad kept saying, "They're puppies." Like to calm her nerves about all of the people looking at her as she was being walked down the aisle. I didn't know she said, "dead puppies." ??? Tammy |
