Almost every commercial nowadays consists of a smart, realistic woman manipulating and humiliating a stupid, childish man.
These are the products I boycott: the ones that try to sell to me by assuming I'm an idiot. |

Yea agreed...... unrealistic sentimental nonsence. If all men were like that, they could fill in for the wife and have the babies too.
How about other silly ads: Like the toy or board game that you buy for your 10 year old kid that some how will transfom your whole family to a group of retards sitting in front of the fireplace, squirming in delight, smiling , chucklng, and holding hands. ....or the all time favorite: You buy a new $30,000 car just for the joy of tieing a big red ribbon around it, so you could park it in the driveway and surprise the wife on Christmas. I get enough of a suprise all through the year when the Exxon gas card charges arrive in the mail.....never mind another $840 monthly charge. |

unfortunately, there are PLENTY of men like that. the ad is most likely targeted towards the wives of men like that, to encourage them to do some arm-twisting to get the man to buy the house of their (her) dreams. |

I for one am tired of the covert man bashing going on. A few nights ago my wife was watching "The Secret Lives of Women" on some bullshit cable channel. They had this woman begging her husband for plastic surgery, then they'd cut to him explaining how they were a paycheck away from being homeless and couldn't afford another plastic surgery for her (she'd had several before). Menawhile there is a little kid running around in the background. She ends up telling him that she's getting it because "I really want it," and finally grinds the poor bastard down until he sells their home in order to fund her vanity. At the end it shows them moving out of their beautiful country home and into some suburban shoebox sized shithole house. It cuts to him moving shit into the house with a haggard expression on his face saying "This is her last surgery." I was totally disgusted and ended up getting into an argument with my own wife over it.
I'd ask for a divorce before I'd mortgage my house for unecessary surgery for my wife. The kicker is that the guy's wife was decent looking. Anyone else see it? |

Mine are the ADT security system commercials.
If there is even a man in the commercial, he is a cowering whimp hiding behind the woman as the alarm goes off. |

Speaking of what you just said...has anyone seen the SEARS commericals where it's hot and the woman says (about buying air conditioning) Woman (rude tone):"You said you would call SEARS today". Man: "I'll call tomorrow" Woman: "You'll call today" Man (detached tone, really creepy): "I'll call now" It was pretty creepy if you ask me, it's like a jedi mind trick that only manipulative women have. |

There also the commercial where the women are looking at the new blinds contained within the window, and the husband in the backyard, a fool struggling with a barbeque, succeeds in blowing himself up, while the women confidently continue their conversation...typical mockery
If you can force yourself to watch most of the sitcoms on tv, it's the same story: an intelligent, strong-willed, confident wife, with a complete fool of a husband that needs lead around like a child by his wife. |

LMAO  I really have to laugh at the ADT/Brinks alarm commercials... It's like watching a bad movie where they can't act and have shit for a script along with the typical hollywood crap. For once, just once, I would like to see a commercial advertising the Remington 870. When the "burglar" kicks in the door with a crowbar/deadly weapon in hand, I would like to see him get blasted and then have Remington flash on the screen. ... Yeah sure, you see firearms advertised on the outdoor channels, but nothing aimed toward self defense/target shooting.... Come on, aside from the sheeple (which flock to TV as a golden God), there should be no reason not to put a commercial like that out there on general TV. In all honesty, you see a thousand commercials a day advertising alcohol/liquor and cigarettes, along with plenty of anti-marijuana propaganda and anti-underage-tobacco commercials. Why no anti-alcohol commercials? Why no anti-meth?????

I really did save a bunch of money by switching to Geico. Liability only, on old car, at other company - $650yr. Full coverage on new '06 model with Geico - $640yr. Ain't that some shit? Honest to God truth, too. I did'nt even have to stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

+1 That commercial annoyed me. There is one on XM also where the woman keeps bitching "Tell them about the discount Harry!" (gets louder everytime) I hate those commercials. The problem with America is that kind of bullshit. Men need to be MEN and stand up and take charge. A good start would be to QUIT DRIVING MINIVANS!    I would have told the real estate bitch to shut-up. I also would have told my wife that we will decide LATER, When we we're not under pressure. |

Dang! I'm female, I seldom watch television, but crap like this is just plain WRONG.
It does NOT appeal to strong, confident, intelligent women. It appeals to women who are shallow and pushy. If some real estate broad tried to connive me against MY man, I would tell her that we will discuss this later. Privately. Because HE is the one with the degrees in accounting and business management, NOT me. |

I hate that commercial too. At the end when he finally does mention the damn discount the woman goes "Good Harry" in the same voice you would speak to your dog. I don't even know what product they are selling because the commercial annoys and pisses me off so much. |

+ 1,000,000 This is also my hot button. Almost ALL advertisements now involve some kind of male bashing. And you know what? I bet most of you guys don't so much as lift the phone receiver to make a call about it. I do. That feminist male-bashing crap has got to stop, and we're the only ones that can do it.  CMOS |

Anybody remember the one where the car has a flat tire, it is pouring rain, and a shadow is in the car? Another car pulls up behind it, and the wife gets out and changes the husband's tire while he stays in the car nice and dry. You don't know it was the wife rescuing the husband until the end.
 I think it was a female deodorant advertisement or some such thing. They couldn't pay me enough to act the husband role in that stupid commercial. |

Have you seen the Progressive Insurance one? The guy is sitting down watching football and the wife comes up behind and asked if he called to get an insurance quote. He says yes and then she's like "Did they give you the rates of competitors??" and then he looks down with a sad look and she shoves the phone back in his face to make him call again while he starts crying. |

There is an ad in my wife good housekeeping magazine, you all think those are bad...This homo not only turned in his man card, but also is wearing a pink apron with polka dots.
Buying things you need to make muffins: $12.00 on Mastercard Seeing your man in a pink apron: Priceless  ..and some MAN actually agreed to pose for that picture.

Let's face it guys, the good old days of commercials featuring Jack Daniels or Marlboro cigarettes are over forever. Today's focus is on the independent woman controlling the world in her newfound prowess.
It's only going to get worse. Today the new shows coming out feature the independent, successful woman and a homosexual guy. That's the premise of them all, it seems. |

i also hate that ameritrade commercial where the dad invests in the jeans company just because his daughter asked him for $80 to buy a pair of jeans
"ooh, my daughter likes them, must mean that it's going to be the next big thing and the stock is going to go through the roof! of course my daughter is so in touch with all the latest trends, i'll be the first to realize this and buy the stock before it's run up by everyone else!"

Solidarity, brothers.
Beat em at their own game - let em nibble at the small things, while we take our kids out and shoot Garands and AR's... Survival of the species. Just like the DemoRats... Give em enough rope and they'll hang themselves. Even the ACLU is getting sick of being in the middle of it. Still, I'd like to make a commercial. Bunch of guys shooting automatic weapons after a public hanging of a priest that raped a kid, then drinking some beers and beating the shit out of the UN members in session. Next installment: kicking the crap out of a vandal, and then going home to be faithful to our wives and raise our kids with morals. The statement of the commercial could be, "We're here, just watching. Vote from the rooftops when the polls don't work as our founding fathers intended them to." Pipe dream at best, but still a thought. |

Funny, yet tragic story: One of my good friends here at work is a Canadian. A group of us took a long lunch to go shooting a couple of weeks ago as it was an awesome day. I took a few non-gun owners and they had a ball with my M4gery and my Sub2000. I was talking with my Canadian buddy (didn't come shooting with us) about the range and general gun questions he had. Suddenly, he walked back to his cube and put his head down on his desk: "I can't talk about this anymore...I'm having an anxiety attack just thinking about guns."
