Things I Hate: Chevy Traverse Commercial with Howie Long

November 24, 2009 in Baby Haters, Big Bad Business, Celebrity Kids, Entertainment, Oh KID! with 2 Comments

You know, normally I am the very last person to dislike a child.

But for some reason, I dislike the character this child plays in this commercial. I’m very tired of the “precocious redhead” type, thank you very much.

Even Welch’s Grape Juice got the picture after a while. Have you seen an ad of theirs lately featuring a wise-beyond-their-years preschooler? Nope, I thought not.

I’m all right with a kid just being a kid, not some sort of wise know-it-all. Because nobody likes a know-it-all. Especially a crabby woman with a newborn who isn’t getting enough sleep.

About Glinda: Playing against type, Glinda lives in the West with her husband, eight year old son and year old daughter. She is in a constant state of worry that her wand is going to break at any moment.

    Also . . . is Maggie wearing makeup? I find the idea of a 6 year old wearing makeup to be rather disturbing.

    Makeup aside, there’s something about her face in that last shot which reminds me of a tiny Elizabeth I.

    I cannot stand that Chevy commercial with that little red head girl. I cringe every single time it comes on.
