I thought that was great. The mom just sitting there in shock and the dad pulling all the magazines out probably thinking that she's overreacting but he'll go along with it so he doesn't get in trouble, too.
Yowza. This is actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be at first. Seeing as how it started with a woman with a disgusted look on her face, and an odd plopping noise in the background, then cuts to a pixellated mass in her lap. It wasn't until it showed the dad pulling the magazines out that I realized what was going on.
@ViRiS: I don't know what parents might break in to the room for gift ideas, but I would imagine there are plenty that would do it for many other reasons.
"Shouldn't they be glad the son's not gay?"
How do you know it's a guy's room, and it could be lesbian/gay porn.
@ViRiS: I'm still trying to figure out how looking through their room would tell you what they want...as it's an absence of something that would drive somebody to want it.
I have a funny story though. Back when I was in my early teens, in the ages of dial-up I did actually have some mags, but I didn't hide them under my bed. I hid them, with other things my parents forbid me from having, in a backpack under a pile of crap in my closet. Not literally a pile of crap, but you get what I'm saying.
Anyway.
Imagine my dismay when I come back from a week vacation that I took without my family to find my room completely cleaned out. Mind you, we're talking about a teenage boy's room here. It would take at least a whole day for one person to clean it this well. I, calmly as possible, for fear of being watched, open my closet to see if it shared the same fate as the rest of my room. To my dismay, it had, and of course, the backpack was missing.
The funny thing about this story though, is that my parents never bring it up, and I dared never ask about the backpack. To this day, I have no idea what really happened to my parents that weekend I was gone. I guess they just figured it best to never ever talk about it.
@Theoutlet: Nice. Similar story-- I used to get home before both mom and dad, and I would sneak into dad's porn VHS collection and, uhm, have my way with it.
Once, I watched a tape and some-damn-how failed to put it back where it belonged afterwards. I still don't understand what kind of brain-fart I must have had-- I usually would note the time on the counter so that I could rewind the tape back to EXACTLY where it was... no way I was getting caught...
But yeah. After mom got home, I saw it just sitting there, on the entertainment center. I walked around asking myself 'whattheFUCKiswrongwithYOU???' for a good while. I overheard my mom talking about it to my dad, and expected the wrath of hell to find me... but it never did. Like your tale of woe, it never came up (this was 20+ years ago).
I assume my mom blamed it on my dad, which works by me...
@Tyber_Zann: Heh, it'd be hard to hide something in a LESS-creative place. Isn't under the bed the *first* place people look when searching for something?
What's funny is that no self-resepcting dad of that man's age would look under the bed, without thinking that he'd find somethin' nasty... Shame on him for breaking the Man Code and bringing mom into it...

And on top of that, why would they care if their son had Pornographic magazines? Shouldn't they be glad the son's not gay?
Goddamn, ADs these days...

How do you know it's a guy's room, and it could be lesbian/gay porn.
Also, being gay is a bad thing?

Awesome commercial, yet I find it hard to believe it came from Gamestop. They actually did something that wasn't a failure.

The ogre and rabbit, then our christmas commercials from last year.

If I have ever have a son, I'll know better then to inspect his HDD/history.
