Bonerkiller Feminism Time!
Superbowl Ads Edition.
Lots of ads aimed at placating men about being how wives ruin your life and sap your precious precious manhood, which I just have to think... Really? Is the target audience just like, "Yep, that's me, totally pussy-whipped! Time to eat a Snickers!"
The two worst, to my eyes were Bridgestone Tire and Dodge Charger.
This is fucking creepy as shit. This guy is shoving this scared woman out of the car to be raped, only surprise! The gang wants tires instead of rape! So it's funny. Um. no.
Also, since when are fucking TIRES a men's product? We don't live in Saudi Arabia, women can and do drive and do need tires. Jesus.
This one was actually much worse to me, because the voice over is done by Michael C. Hall, best known for playing Dexter, a character who weekly voices over the placid image of a suburban man with a wife kids, but who totally needs a car with a spacious interior for the garbage bags full of chopped up dead people. All of these men look ready to snap, especially the last one with the angry jaw clenching. Dodge Charger: For when you kill your wife after she makes you watch her fucking vampire show for the last time.
I don't know how people can watch these ads and still think there isn't a huge cultural problem with the portrayal and treatment of women in the US. And honestly, I don't know who this is more insulting to, men or women, but here's a hint, dudes, if you find living with a woman so fucking terrible, don't get married, no one's forcing you.
