Sacks, 'Boys are Stupid' Designer Mix it up on CNBC

All animals are equal...

...but some are more equal that others.

[ahayes]

"Goldman says the publicity for his products is unprecedented and has helped sales. Men's activists say Sacks' campaign, which began in mid-December, has probably generated more publicity than the men's movement has ever received over one issue."

Maybe they're in cahoots. ;-)

When Goldman was asked if he had an "obligation to consider the impact" of the products on young boys, he answered "no"

Goldman Is Stupid. Throw Rocks At Him.

T-Shirt slogan writers are stupid, drop anvils on their heads.

Rush's comments were basically my thoughts on the subject. I am more concerned about the ominous double standards than the content of the stupid t-shirts. It's an every increasing slippery slope of disrespect for males and particularly whites.

Girls are goobers, drop boys on them.

[Humidston]

I'm a woman and I say it's time to put a stop to the male bashing we see in society today.

My most obnoxious TV commercial is the one where the son discovers he's been accepted to an "ivy league" college and the STUUUPID father starts hocking silver, selling his car, and brings in a Russian guy to rent their spare bedroom. Of course his brilliant wife has just applied for a home loan to pay the bills.

SICK SICK SICK! We should all revolt. Boys are being victimized by the radically "femanized" left wing!

[fml]

I thought it was a funny commercial (stupid, but funny)

[weegee]

"Can you imagine if a company put out a line of T-shirts that said..."

The media would fully support a Palestinian novelty garment maker if he sold shirts that said "Jews are evil, throw rocks at them".

[LegionofDorkness]

Personally, I think there's a whole lot better and more important things that this Sacks guy should be worried about. The t-shirt is funny. I would laugh if my daughter had one. And to claim that this could damage the self-esteem of 12 year old boys is ridiculous. My 7 year old son would get the joke. As a white male, I don't really feel oppressed. Unlike Sacks, I have a sense of humor.

[Seeking the truth]

Maybe those 3,500 stores will substitute this tee shirt design!

[weegee]

It's only a few years before radical extremist shirts like this will be carried by the department stores:

"Class War - We have found new homes for the rich"

[freedomluvr1778]

Goldman says his company sells many "positive shirts, including ones with the slogans 'It's all about me' and 'Chicks Rule!'"

I can only shake my head. "It's all about Me!" and "Chicks Rule!" are the positive slogans. Oh, boy.

[grellis]

Sacks countered Ratigan, noting "yes, it's humor, but it's adult humor being played out on little boys. Twelve year-old boys don't get the humor, but they feel the insult."

I am an adult. I don't get the humor. I am insulted.

[TheSpottedOwl]

My fondest hope is that Todd Goldman will one day show up on my tv in the middle of the night....doing cheesy infomercials.

[TheSpottedOwl]

He should be in politics. NOT!!! Positive shirts my rear end.

Point on Humidston! I am also sickened by the constant barrage of slings and arrows hurled at men. I have a father, grandfathers, uncles, male cousins and friends whom I adore and it breaks my heart to see them berated and belittled as if they were nothing.

In addition to the home loan commercial, the next two on my list are the Sure commercial where the woman drives up to change a tire for her stranded man. Her attitude toward him is one of complete condescension and incredulity at his lack of skills and intelligence. The other is the Jif commercial of the father sitting in the living room making the peanut butter sandwich when his young daughter walks in. She asks why he makes the sandwich the way he does and when he tells her "because that's the way my Dad did it and I always wanted to be exactly like my Dad," her response is "that's ridiculous." Seconds later she is eating a sandwich made the same way but has bitten the middle out of it rather than eating from the top. It's like slapping someone in the face and then offering them an ice cream so they'll feel better.

Give me a break - you are pretty shallow if you dont think this is a smite on boys. Wake up there is a culture war going on and if you are a conservative you wouldnt be agreeing with imbeciles who put this trash out there. You probably let your kid watch MTV and surf the internet while your not around too.

[Tanniker Smith]

But I would get in trouble for making shirts that said:
"Girls are B*tches, F*** 'em.

(tongue planted firmly in cheek, mind you.)
