Rooms so clean, they pass the tongue test

Um, I hope Extended Stay Motels has maid service, or this girl is in for a long night. Licking everything in sight doesn’t seem like the best way to ensure cleanliness. Isn’t that why they have the white-glove test? Camp Nama’s version of Motel 6 looks more appealing than this place. By Mullen. Via Brief Blog.

I guess people will do anything for money.

But let's examine what this says about the Extended Stay Hotels brand. To me it says it's a good place to shoot a porno.

She licks a spoon then puts it back in the drawer? How is this a good thing for a hotel to advertise?

I call either shenanigans or soon to be fired marketing director.

I don’t see what the big deal is. The woman has developed her own “clean test” instead of examining the room with a microscope or black light. The room meets her clean standard. She keeps lick testing everything because it makes the mark for very clean. It is very funny. . . if she can lick it you can sleep in it.
What are you angry about? Be angry about women who are objectified by brands they themselves purchase. Get angry about the fact that women still get paid less than men in the professional work place (and not because they lack the qualifications.)
I’m a woman and I am not offended by this video. It is entertainment. It is exactly what the online consumer wants and it feeds a certain gross out factor that affordable lodging brands are regularly criticized for.

The only thing dirtier than this idea is the production value. And speaking of value, the only kind this spot has is shock. I wouldn't leave the light on for whoever did this.

An utter cleanliness freak that she is i bet she uses Domex istead of a mouthwash to buffer up her oral hygiene!! Afterall she goes on liking comodes...Well, if she can push that many limits...then i guess she could as well go further and lick the inner environs of the shitpot so that the so called enterntainment-seeker (online consumer) gets absolutely convinced about the hotel's cleanliness! Disgusting Ad...itis.
