Offended?

I am glad to see that I am not the only one who hates these commercials.  Just think of the uproar if the shoe was on the other foot and there was a guy talking down to a woman.  I can just imagine how that would go over.  It would be demanded to be taken off the air.

It seems that lately many t.v shows and  ads make the husband look like an ass clown I actually noticed it many years ago,even my wife noticed it.

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!"   

Same here Raz, this commercial annoys me as well. Men are already made to look like idiots enough. Don't get me started!  lol.     

Good points by the way, Stephen.

Maybe someone can do a spoof on that one and post it on the internet.  I can't stand that commercial, but it is just one of many examples of male bashing, whether it be 'men are stupid' or 'men are pigs.'  If that isn't bad enough, just about every kid show portrays parents (especially fathers) as total idiots and kids as totally disrespectful to their parents.  There are very few strong male/father figures anywhere in mass media.  Although a lot of those 1950's shows may seem quite corny these days, at least the men weren't shown in that light.

I always thought I was alone and I completely, agree! I hate, hate, HATE that commercail! I also hate the phone commercails with the mother nagging her son about old minutes (makes no sens) and the other for a car where the same woman yells at her son for taking a 500,000 mile joy ride in her VW and when the boy explains she pulls at, makes a B**chy comment and drives away. These commercails demonstrate woman talking down, not listening to reason and being plan rude!

Here is the commercial:



There is nothing wrong with the conversation he is having with his wife. It is just one more bash at men. This is too accepted in our society and soon husbands will be seen as not worth any more then do the housework and turn his paycheck over to his wife. Try making just one negative comment about wives and you get sued for sexism.

And when she asks "do I look like I need to watch my weight?" the truth is....YES she does!
