I have always tried hard to treat all women with respect, so seeing this kind of stuff coming at men, fathers in particular, is beginning to irk me too.
Verizon's commercials (and service) are very pathetic and ALWAYS show the white male father (or father-figure) as a boob and a fool.
I especially 'like' the commercials from IBM and HP that make their customers look like arrogant jerks or complete morons.
The market fantasies of black-dressed prissies living in Manhattan.
