Speaking of gender issues ...

| | Comments (0)

Some of my cousins and I have been exchanging e-mails evaluating the Superbowl ads. Personally, I liked the e-trade "milkaholic girlfiend" one.

But for some of those ads, I'm torn between annoyance and a kind of perverse admiration at how they try to exploit male insecurities. Like the FloTV one.

To paraphrase:

"You're missing a football game to spend time with your girlfriend? YOU PATHETIC, EMASCULATED B*TCH! The only way you can reclaim your masculinity is to buy this gadget so you never have to be seperated from your TV ever again!"

Any guy who buys into that pitch doesn't need a new gadget. He needs a slap upside the head. Maybe this kid can administer it.
