These are the spots in which people are depicted lying, having or seeking promiscuous sex, and generally behaving like spineless amoral shitbags. The behavior is portrayed in a lighthearted manner: if it is not actually treated as a good thing, it is meant to be taken as completely harmless at worst.

This behavior hurts people and ruins lives. It pisses me off to see it being promoted as acceptable and normal. TV is poison.

Thought the same thing when I saw them.

"What happens in vegas stays in vegas. Except for the STD's."

You're right. It is a complete waste. I get free cable, and my TV isn't even hooked up or plugged in.

Ever seen the SNL "what happens in Thailand stays in Thailand" commercials? I couldn't find them in video on the web, but there's some screen caps and the script here, and still funny:

The guy whose site it is seems offended though.

They would never do a "waking up in Vegas" commercial.
