Monthly Periods as Presents

Guerrilla Tampax Stunt Puts Mother Nature On the Street

This hilarious commercial for Tampax tampons uses a woman with a very annoying squeaky voice trying to give women Mother Nature's monthly “gift” to women passing by. I just love the way women try to avoid her, especially on the escalator. The background song “Bad to the Bone” really works as well.
