I saw a commercial for Degree deodorant the other day. Their catch phrase:

"Degree for girls. For all those OMG moments."

So we have moved "txt tlk" in phone commercials to things that have nothing to do with electronics.

All this considered...it was actually a funny commercial until they wrapped it up.

I couldn't find the commercial itself, but I did find them interviewing Ashley Tisdale about it:

Oh, I saw that commercial. Must I say, "Bleh!"? I hate "OMG". Not only is it text talk, but it also implies taking the Lord's name in vain. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, PEOPLE!

...Eh-hem...Sorry, I rant sometimes.
