More male bashing. The anti-male Gillette ad made news recently but I was subjected to this last night while watching a hockey game and there were countless critical comments from viewers. Talk about misplaced demographics. Looks as if Jeff won in the long run. Imagine this ad with the genders reversed.

I always refer to VWs as “Hitler Cars.”

Pretty much standard fare now.

Making the male look stupid, especially White male.

Inter-racial couples now make up nearly half of fantasy modern advertisements.

Showing White Male doing stupid things and Females and Children laughing as he gets hurt.

Reminds me of my unstable ex who smiled when the topic of abortion was raised. “My body, I can do what I want...” You know, killing babies is such a jovial topic.

With a chick that hot — and he’s playing viddy-o games?
He’s a jerk.
And there ARE some Real-Life Jerks.

I thought it was funny.

Sue me.

“He’s a jerk.”

She is a child molester and murdered both of her parents.

But I guess she is hot so the guy has to spend all his waking time catering to her every need.

Sue me.

And here's anti-Semite Henry Ford receiving the Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938...

"At a ceremony in Dearborn, Michigan, Henry Ford is presented with the Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle on his 75th birthday. Henry Ford was the first American recipient of this order, an honor created in 1937 by Adolf Hitler. This was the highest honor Nazi Germany could give to any foreigner and represented Adolf Hitler’s personal admiration and indebtedness to Henry Ford. The presentation was made by Karl Kapp, German consul in Cleveland, and Fritz Heller, German consular representative in Detroit."

No need to sue. :-)

The point is to sell an automobile. Discuss the performance of the auto, what to expect, safety, etc. If societal matters are integrated, why not bring genders together and create harmony rather than division. The feminists who create these ads would never show female jerks, however, and advertising is one vehicle, excuse the pun, that has been hijacked by the left.

Not like the Gillette ad at all. It’s a joke. It made me laugh.

I know a couple of white males like that dude. One found a chick as drugged up and out-of-touch as he is.

VW Beetles, Golfs, Jettas and Tiguans are marketed to and bought by youngish females. Rationality isn’t the best way to sell.

Wondering when leftists will demand that the male symbol be removed from the Volvo ads?

Ah...advertising. Through observation, I have come up with my own Madison Avenue advertising hierarchy.

From last place to first, it lists the level at which certain demographics can be safely ridiculed in advertisements. Let's call them the Power Rankings. The lower on the list, the more dangerous it is to ridicule:

YMMV

Ain’t that the truth. According to the ads, most Caucasian grandparents all of a sudden have at least one token minority grandchild. Reality is slipping from our grasp.

Maybe male bashing, but look deeper. Maybe if she treated him more like a person than a pet to control and train like an unthinking animal, he wouldn’t have retreated into virtual reality in order to retain his sanity. Just a thought. . .
