These 2 commercials pretty much sum up the USA when it comes to relationships

This one isn't either,except for the end

There is a wave of commercials that are just terrible lately:


How about this, apparently the husband and love are now worthless. it's all about HER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1OFzIVhROc




All of these, if a bartender acted like that she'd make exactly 0 dollars.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUJ36nFdOyg



It seems like the message is "your husband is stupid, guys are stupid, and you deserve everything" and women are really good at buying into mass media messages like little lemmings so that works out great for that princess syndrome

Now some people would say: 'It's just a commercial, it's not reality.'

But any honest person will tell you that a commercial is somewhat reflective of reality - that's why companies pay millions of dollars for these ads - to connect with the consumer, to induce them to buy.

Secondly, commercials also affect reality as well. We are not as evolved as we would like to think, we imitate, we copy, and girls will imitate the princess behavior and guys will imitate the chump behavior of these commercials.

The bottom line is this, to survive in this new-world we must be even more balsy to overcome girls' inherent bias.

When I see these kind of comercials where the chick is in total control and the guy is a shmoe I simply make a mental note to no longer buy that product......

I vote with my wallet....

Possibly the only real way to stop this crap....

Over and Out.


EDIT: I also LOVE how all the chicks in comercials are stunning 5'8" to 6' and 110 pounds.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....go to the local mall / pool / beach and see the sad reality !!!!

 

[boomerick]

Another type of comercial to watch for is the shmoe guy who by using or having the product ends up with the hot chick(s)......

They always use a guy who seems to be a complete loser....

Currently the Keystone Beer "Keith Stone" commercials are a good example (guy looks like Cooter on the Dukes of Hazzard).....

Capt Morgan's commercials are another shmoe-a-thon......

If you're easily manipulated you're supposed to think "Hmmm...He's way less a man than me, a total loser, and he 's getting the chicks ....hmmm...if I use/have that product I'll get even more/better chicks than he is.".....

When I see these Gems of Marketing I think "If they really think I'm that stupid I guess I'm too stupid to buy what they're selling"....


Bottom line -- If you see a comercial with a less than favorible depiction of men -- A) Don't fall for it, be suspicious of the pitch B) Realize these marketing monkeys think you are an idiot C) Don't buy the product

Again, vote with the wallet....

Over and Out.

There is one beer company down here that doesn't pander to women's egos.
Go to youtube.com -search for 'hahn beer commercials'

Enjoy.

 

[jophil28]

This is the one that you guys needed during the SuperBowl.

Youtube - "The best beer commercial in the world "

Love that one!

No doubt though, it never appeared on TV. Those bloody double standards!

there is this one about an HD tv, where girls will come over to watch the game AND bring food so these guys are like DAMN this TV is aweomse

only problem - all the girls are hot and skinny..and love football YEAH RIGHT lol

 

[boomerick]

Stupid thing is a lot of the products that I no longer buy, I really liked....

I've actually had to find substitutes for these products due to ignorance on the part of the Marketing Monkeys, not dissatisfaction with the product.....

AND....don't even get me started on the mystery skinny attractive happy women that only exist in the disturbed fantasy that is American product marketing....(Where do they get them??? Where do they hide them???)

 

[MatureDJ]

I think a real DJ would not care about the commercial, but would buy the beer he likes the best. I almost exclusively drink microbrews that have no marketing budget.

 

[boomerick]

Uh...."real man" or "real DJ" shaming????.....hmmmmm....wow...

I think a "real DJ" (whatever that is ---do they hand out certificates somewhere?) has enough self respect and intelligence to refuse to buy items that involve disrespecting, demeaning and or exploiting him.....

If boycotting something on principle calls my manhood (DJ-hood?) into question then I am in good company.......

The American Founding Fathers, Gandi, M L King just to name a few.......hmmmmm.......


The "Real Men Don't Let It Bother Them" attitude has gotten us into the situation we now find ourselves in as men in America --- the donkeys that pull the cart for everyone elses benefit ---feminism 3.0-4.0, marriage 2.0 no fault divorce ass raping, being held in possibly the lowest regard in the history of the western world and paying the greatest costs.......

I'm not ready to protest in the streets but surely I can choose not to support products that do not support me.......its a tiny first step towards greater ends that anyone can do......

Over and Out.

Excuse me,

You guys are taking these commercials way too seriously.
Do you not realize that these commercials are either created for humor / to appeal to women?

Furthermore, what are you, the male version of feminists? Bi*ching about unfair treatment of men? Both genders have to deal with this ****. If you bi*ch about it, you're no worse than a feminist.

It is important to note the social environment you are in so you can plan accordingly. Does a general go to war without first taking into account the terrain?

You are subcribing to the "Man up and take it" social convention that has slowly been screwing American men for the last 40 years.....

If, for instance, as many comercials portrayed a selected minority constantly as stupid buffoons there would be civil unrest, and a public outcry against the companies and culture that created those portrails.......

But us stupid American men have bought into the idea that we are the majority ----the "permanent oppressor of all others" class and that we can't / aren't allowed to be the victim......

We seem to have bought into the "boogieman for everyone else" role.....

Which comes with the "American guys owe everyone an historical debt for our supposed rule of oppression" baggage.....

Since we seem to like feeling superior (although most of us are dumb cart pullers not captians of power) we also seem to buy the being superior and the majority allows anyone to say or do anything about you or to you...

So slowly the "man up and take it" (excuse to do nothing) idea has allowed other interests to litterally flip the historical tables on us (you included) ....

I don't really give a sh!t about any particular product and or company....

What I care about is how upside down things have gotten, how in a land of supposed freedoms and equality things are now so biased against men, and what my son is going to be dealing with in ten years.....

And as far as whining goes....by choosing not to buy products that have offensive advertising I'm taking ACTION however small it may be......

"Man up and take it" is sticking your head in the sand while others happily walk up and f*ck you in the ass.....

I think we've "taken" more than enough.....

Over and Out.


EDIT: As for being no better than a Feminist ......(more shaming).....hmmmm....haven't you noticed.....the Feminists seem to be doing pretty well for themselves lately.....at the expense of you, me , and our sons......

Perfectly articulated, Boomer.

 

[jophil28]

Do you not realize that these commercials are either created for humor / to appeal to women?

And do you not realize that prior to any of those commercials being shot, several pre-production meetings took place in which the script ,style and tone of the commercial was discussed. It was agreed at those meetings to pander to women's bloated egos by deliberately humiliating men and portraying us as incompetent fools who cannot make sensible buying decisions without a woman's help or supervison.
For fukk's sake, we men built this civilization with our brain's and our blood . IF it were left to women, we would all be living in caves or huts, and shivering when it rained. Our wives would be pumping out kids on dirt floors, and we would all be picking berries out of trees for food.
I am damned if I am going to silently stand by and let some pony-tailed 28 year old advertising whiz kid who drives a look-a-like Porsche insult my gender, on purpose, in a TV ad.

 

[boomerick]

Waking up to the idea that I was a great big dumb AFC sucker was painful and took education and work to overcome....

Awaking to the reality of how much western men have lost in the last 40 years is f*cking sickening.....

Our state weakened fathers abandoned us for our feminist mothers to nueter and turn into societies pack mules.....

I WILL NOT let this be the legacy I bestow on my son.....

He will know that which I was denied.......

Over and Out.

Just like a feminist, you are complaining about how society portrays you. Are you comparing men are a selected minority? What do you mean?

And what of the commercials where women are depicted as incompetent, selfish, and shallow, such as that golfing commercial posted above where the wife knocks a ball into her husband's mouth. Do you hear women complaining about it? Yes. Those women are feminists, constantly bi*ching at everything that bothers them, as if society treats them unfairly. You are no better than that.

But us stupid American men have bought into the idea that we are the majority ----the "permanent oppressor of all others" class and that we can't / aren't allowed to be the victim......

So you want to play victim like those female feminists? Ok, have fun.

We seem to have bought into the "boogieman for everyone else" role.....

Which comes with the "American guys owe everyone an historical debt for our supposed rule of oppression" baggage.....

Since we seem to like feeling superior (although most of us are dumb cart pullers not captians of power) we also seem to buy the being superior and the majority allows anyone to say or do anything about you or to you...

Now you are just going off on a tangent and undeliberately choosing which stereotypes to embrace and which to reject.

So slowly the "man up and take it" (excuse to do nothing) idea has allowed other interests to litterally flip the historical tables on us (you included) ....

There is a significant difference between fighting back when something oppresses your freedom, and moaning about untrue stereotypes that exist for virtually every race / gender / religion / group.

I don't really give a sh!t about any particular product and or company....

Me neither.

What I care about is how upside down things have gotten, how in a land of supposed freedoms and equality things are now so biased against men, and what my son is going to be dealing with in ten years.....

Fine, don't take it. Instead, rebel against society by throwing a temper tantrum. Just like how some stupid women bi*ch whenever a female is depicted in an unfair manner in a commercial, go ahead and be one of those stupid men who bi*ch whenever a male is depicted unfairly in a commercial.

I think we've "taken" more than enough.....

So what, you're going to stop "enduring" because you see that women don't have to "man up" and take it? Believe me, women endure crap like this just as much as men do. So do all Christians, Muslums, Jews, Buddhists, etc. It's those delusional ones who decide to stop enduring and start bi*ching about imaginary social downfall that are causing a problem.

Over and Out.


EDIT: As for being no better than a Feminist ......(more shaming).....hmmmm....haven't you noticed.....the Feminists seem to be doing pretty well for themselves lately.....at the expense of you, me , and our sons......

Hmm.... if they are doing so well, you should become a female feminist too.

And as for the "women with bloated egos", you guys are the ones with the inflated egos, being offended so easily over something like this. A true man wouldn't give a sh*t. Just live your own life.

Let me ask you this. Are you living to your full potential as a man if you stay bitter towards women and towards society over such petty things? I think not...

You know you are all bitter. Just admit it.

Our state weakened fathers abandoned us for our feminist mothers to nueter and turn into societies pack mules.....

I WILL NOT let this be the legacy I bestow on my son.....

He will know that which I was denied.....

Oh for fu(k's sake. If nobody else sees the delusional battering that this person is spitting out, then I have no place here.
