There was a series of TV commercials a couple years back during which the driver’s child alter ego would be sitting in the back seat. Chrysler? Toyota? Who knows. At any rate, one has the Cosmo-reading mid-20s white woman driving her 11-year-old self in the back seat around, and the 11-year-old is criticizing the woman’s concerns over her appearance, which she attributes to making sure boys will like her. The pipsqueak immediately retorts something along the lines of “we don’t care about boys; boys are yucky!” Remember? Can you believe there is nothing on YouTube or even the Internet at large? Nobody filmed the ad and put it online? Nobody blogged about “boys are yucky”? This was quite the catch phrase for a while in some circles, dammit.
