I know it's nothing new, but what's the deal with all the commercials, particularly on the radio, where men are portrayed as complete imbeciles who have to bow to the intellectual superiority of women?
I mean, guys on sitcoms are always p-whipped, but this is like, way beyond that.
The one I heard today was for Buffalo Wild Wings, where a guy brags about how great men are and why he should get the last wing. The woman eventually tricks him into giving it to her after he runs out of things to brag about and reduces himself to mockingly repeating everything she says. The worst part was when the man says "Men created fire" and the woman says "What does that have to do with anything?"
What does that have to do with anything? I has everything to do with everything! If somebody didn't make fire we'd all be waiting around for lightning to strike or something when we wanted a hot meal.
Now, I'm not saying it's a valid argument for getting the last chicken wing, but you can't just callously dismiss it like that.
And another one that really bothers me is for Cherry Coke Zero. The woman is going on and on about how great it tastes and how there's only zero calories. The guy says "That's great" or something and the woman just goes off on him with, like, "That's great because I need to lose weight?" or some crap that didn't even remotely imply. He blabbers about for a little trying to explain himself and then says "I'll shut up now."
Why are you shutting up? **** that *****! You were agreeing with her and she makes you feel like you did something wrong? That's so freakin' ridiculous I think I might be offended. Grow some freakin' backbone and tell her to take that Cherry Coke Zero and shove it up her fat ***!
