Thread Name: BS: Favorite or Most Hated Commercials?
Subject: RE: BS: Favorite or Most Hated Commercials?
I dislike every home products commercial which treats men like home-bound idiots. For example, the typical line goes:

Male: "Honey, I can't (find, wash, do, taste... - any action verb) the (soap, dog food, laxitive... - any household product)."

Female: "Why (Silly, Stupid, Dork... - any male bashing derogation) it's now (in the closet, in your underwear, New Blue... - any New! household product). Here, let me show you how to use (soap, dog food, underwear... - any product an Asian rock could figure out how to use)."

If ad agencies treated women like they do men, the boycotts would never end. Suppose they started a beer commercial like:

"Women anthropologists have claimed that cave men were "stupid and crude" for dragging their women around by the hair...

We at Blats Beer think that this may have been the first sign of innate male intelligence, as we have found through extensive testing, that if you drag a women around by her feet, she quickly fills up with sand, and is no damn good for anything.

Thank you, and enjoy your beer!"
