Oh good. So it wasn't just me. The Super Bowl ads were super sexist this year. (FWIW, Jason mostly slept through the Super Bowl.) Like, more than normal, which is pretty much saying something.
Thanks, Jezebel! In the words of commenter PersonofInterest:
Isn't it great that an industry largely run by men can get together once a year on a program geared largely towards men to tell America how much they hate the women who mostly decide whether or not to buy their products?
Gents, take note: if you sit through meetings (you know, like everybody else), you're emasculated. If you recycle, you're emasculated. If you're polite to your SO's mom, you're emasculated. If you go lingerie shopping with your SO (you know, presumably 'cause she wants to find something sexy to wear before she fucks you), you're emasculated.
Clearly, the only remedy for this is a to Man Up (tm) and buy a PenisMobile (tm) so you can stop being an emasculated baby-man. Naturally. Talk about advertising that's every bit as insulting to men as it is to women.
And the Bridgestone ad? Hella creepy, any way you slice it.
Like, it wasn't even funny sexism. I didn't even laugh in an entirely inappropriate way. FAIL.
