Many commercials today poke fun at males. I've noticed this for a while.
Its 'soft' persecution. I am sick of it. Fedex did this pap for awhile, so I avoided them.
Imagine if the roles were reversed, and the father told the mother to "go do the dishes" when she failed to help their daughter.
I've noticed this too, and I don't like it, especially when the guys in these commercials are decent guys trying to do the best they can. Let women take on the responsibility--the FULL responsibility that men have before they start making fun.
yep, it's been there since the NAG movement....always the "white" guy becoming the target...I mentioned this to my husband several years ago and just told him to watch the commericals....he's beginning to see what I mean...
It's Feminisation of our MSM and our next generation.
This is not to say that whenever a man is present he's depicted as a doofus; it's that whenever a doofus is depictd, it's a white man.
Chevy has a series of horrifying ads out as well, and you've seen them: they're the "hemi" ads. Bafflingly, they feature a highly icky couple whose prominent dynamic seems to be mutual loathing for one another. And this isn't very surprising, as the actors both come off as utterly repulsive people. The progenitor of this set of misanthropic ads has the mom cooing at the kid in the back about the gentle ride of the ginormous SUV they are navigating, and extolling the virtues of the DVD player and the gentle shocks. The irritable husband chafes at this, and says, "What are you DOING to him?" The terrible wife, adopting a rather glacial tone, responds that she's just trying to educate the doomed little sprite as to the relative benefits of their war machine. The husband rolls his eyes extravagantly, as if to say, "I can't believe I put up with this horrific **** every day." The wife of course looks like a vengeful rodent.Next you see the brutish dad holding up the kid and pointing to the vehicle's huge-ass motor: "There's only one thing you need to know about this car--HEMI! Can you say "hemi"?" The kid does, completing the circuit of dysfunction that will surely earn this guy periodic weekend visits once his terrifying wife destroys him in family court. Well done!
Like those Carl's Jr. "without us some guys would starve" ads. Irritating -- why don't they have "without us some women would starve" ads?
If you want to see how to poke fun at guys the right way, look at the Jack in the Box ads where the guy gets a set of tire chains in his meal. First time I saw that one ILMAO.
