I guess this explains the stereotype of the gay interior decorator

I'm enjoying Space's programming, but I'm getting sick of the ads that run in the break. Specifically the one for paint, which I've now seen about two dozen times, in which a woman redecorates the bedroom, she and her spouse exchange sexy looks... and fast forward three years and they've got two screaming children and she's pregnant with a third -- so she repaints the bedroom to be bland and boring and unsexy.

Every time I see it I yell at the screen, "or you could USE BIRTH CONTROL of some kind!"

But, no, human biology is why we can't have nice things, apparently.

Oh is thaaaaaat what's going on?
I usually only half pay attention to commercials anyway.
I thought it was a "Mission Accomplished!" repaint lol

At first I thought she was repainting it as a nursery, but she would have done that earlier if she was going to -- they already had three kids by that point. And the kids didn't seem like they were being presented as a positive thing -- they were all screaming and crying.
