“Ugly Betty” Paper Bag Ad

Lol! That’s great

lol

There’s a great song by Anna Nalick called ‘paper bag’. It’s a very fitting song for ugly betty and this ‘ad’

Here are the lyrics to the song.

She don’t run from the sun no more
She boxed her shadow and she won
Said, “I can see you laugh through these bottle caps
And this wire around my neck ain’t there for fun

But someday we’ll all be old
And I’ll be so damn beautiful
Meanwhile I’ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where there’s no more rain and I can be me”

Yeah, they talk about her
She smiles like she’s so tough
She says, “Hey, can you talk a little louder?
I don’t think my heart is broken enough.

But someday we’ll all be old
And I’ll be so damn beautiful
Meanwhile I’ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where there’s no more rain and I can be me”

Some days I wade in the indigo
Singing that song on the radio
I blame these puddles on the rain
You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today
Gotta keep my cheating strategy
And baby I’m gonna have it made

But someday we’ll all be old
And I’ll be so damn beautiful
So I’ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where there’s no more rain and I can be me

And I’ll hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you, then you can’t see me
And it’ll be okay
Fly little bee away
To where there’s no more rain and I can be me

Where I can be me . . . yeah
I can be me
Ohh
Where I can be me

New Zealand rocks dude!

so funny!

LOL. This ad is so clever. It definitely gets your attention.

oh this makes me proud to be a kiwi lol

I’m a New Zealander and I hate the country. I’m going to move to England soon.

Yay-yah…..kiwis in the house lol. Loves it!!

Go the Kiwis!!!

Cantab here, love my country!!

Awesome ad!!

Also.. I love how people just jumped on the “that’s so good how that show can portray the beauty of a person behind these so-called ugly things, and how it can break down social barriers about our ideas of beauty”.. as if that’s ALL there is to it.. as if that is how girls take it. It’s just a perfect example of how our society will take the easy way out of things, jumping on the quickest way out, whatever removes the guilt from our shoulders. Those are just the words of Hollywood’s prettiest and most special, those who determine who gets the Emmy… those who have no CLUE of what it means to really be called UGLY, physically ugly. Those words did not come from teenagers, or pre-teenagers. Those words do not depict how teenagers view things, or how they percieve the message society puts out there. Just because Hollywood says one thing.. does not mean it shows the same thing, as America Ferrer proved when she showed up to get her numerous Emmys last year, looking for the world like all the other actresses.

Take a calm-down pill, Mary, sheesh! This is a photo of an advertisement, not an endorsement of the TV show. If you want to rant somewhere, rant to the makers of the show if you’d like. This is just an example of a clever advert.

Another Kiwi here! wow, there’s actually quite a lot of us on JJ.

I shall look out for this ad, I love it!

Ugly people who wear paper bags over their heads, usually cut holes in the front to see where their going. Parents of small ugly children just put the bags over the head and lead them around by hand, but I’ve never seen an adult ugly do it like that.
