Offended?
« on: February 06, 2009, 08:46:38 PM »
Let me start this with I am not someone that is easily offended.  I have a pretty thick skin and tend to just let things roll off my back.  BUT.......

There is a commercial for some cereal, I think it is Cheerios.  Where the box says that it is low in fat and the wife is eating it.  The husband comes in and says something completely common like "are you watching your weight?"  Well the wife gets all puffy with him.  If you haven't seen it, I'm sure it is on youtube somewhere.  Anyway, they wind up reading the box and at the end the wife asks what else does the box say?  He replies "shut up Steve". :Xo!

Anyway, that commercial just burns me UP!!!! (and no it's not because my name is Stephen) I told my wife, if I was him I'd have to let her  have it.  That commercial is rolls all over me.  I don't why it burns me up so bad.  I think it's because it is such an obvious stab at men in general.  Just because I am a guy doesn't mean I'm a bafoon.  Besides she was eating cereal that states plain as day that it is low in fat!  Anybody else seen that commercial?  What's your opinion?

I have a pretty big mouth and tend to say things that other people are thinking.  I also have this annoying habit of telling the truth.  Hard and brutal.

I told my wife that I would have to put her in her place.  My wife isn't like that woman in the commercial thankfully. 

I'm getting pissed off thinking about it!  LOL

Bill O'Reilly had something about this on his show last night.  I wonder why this is just coming up now -- that commercial  has been out for a long time.

To answer your question, no, I am not offended by it.  I do, however, find it to be annoying in the extreme.  What an obnoxious woman!

Based on what I saw in the commercial, I hope she was using fat free milk.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I always keep hoping that the commercial will end with her asking, "What else does the box say, Steve" and Steve responds, "It says shut the f**k up, bitch!"   >:D

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds that ad disturbing.

Seriously, think about the subliminal message being sent to women that it's ok to talk down to their husband or boyfriend.
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

Male bashing has become widespread.  There is a yogart commercial where a woman (B-) is on the phone talking about the flavors she has eaten and still loosing weight.  The husband overhears and is looking in the frig for the items.  She turns and looks annoyingly at him and ask "what are you doing?"  Burns me no end!!!!!!!!!!!
