But it's cool, the mom magically appears to clean up the mess that they made. Because that's her job and the only time she should be present. When she's cleaning up after their fun times.mmarinaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530766837837932504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-61712568297155508972010-12-09T10:06:39.465-08:002010-12-09T10:06:39.465-08:00Thanks, BCrawford for weighing in and supporting m...Thanks, BCrawford for weighing in and supporting my scientific hypothesis. I love the Old Spice idea! And also agree that it's stereotypical ideas...but wouldn't it be so much more eyecatching and fun to watch (and maybe make you buy) if these companies changed it up a bit? <br /><br />I love this discussion!WashingTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987548913994006257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-16230348954307692632010-12-09T09:45:32.522-08:002010-12-09T09:45:32.522-08:00Although WH's comments have been shared by Tin...Although WH's comments have been shared by Tina I must weigh in(sensitive male that I am) and share my hatred for said commercials. As for the cabin spot, I for one would find it funny if said male would jump into his woman's arms and she present him with with some Old Spice. Advertisers play on the stereo-typical roles of men and women...me Tarzan...you Jane. Trust me I have seen women at the Crossfit locations who can do overhead presses with more than I can lift and would have no trouble supporting her in whatever role she would tell me to do!BCrawford3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04474085380741307450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-86427267136449982132010-12-09T07:39:33.708-08:002010-12-09T07:39:33.708-08:00Here's what I don't get, ladies, if we all...Here's what I don't get, ladies, if we all can't stand those stupid commercials, and men can't stand them (well, I'm only going off of WH, but that's totally a scientific sample), why do these stupid advertisers run them? <br /><br />I really can't get over that nitwit afraid of the storm. Barf. Kay is the worst offender, but also bad are Jared and Charleston Alexander. <br /><br />Maybe they should hire us to write some real world commercials. Picture it, woman comes home from work. She's tired. Takes off her shoes and flops on the couch. Man enters. He's tired too. Flops next to her on the couch. They turn on the TV and see a stupid commercial. He leans toward her and says, "what a bunch of bullshit." She looks at her ring (or tennis bracelet) and smiles knowingly at him. He farts. "Indeed," she says. See, that would be a good commercial.WashingTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987548913994006257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-37814672529060256942010-12-09T07:21:46.528-08:002010-12-09T07:21:46.528-08:00I'm with you!!

I'm always running the list of "good deeds" through my head when trying not to nag him for leaving his socks laying around everywhere. :)Sassy Marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594126067752319090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-55796613273944736182010-12-09T07:17:29.387-08:002010-12-09T07:17:29.387-08:00haaaaaa!

No! <br /><br />And after watching the cabin commercial, I feel slighted. My boyfriend and I have been up to the mountain cabin TWICE this Fall and not once has he protected me from thunder or surprised me with jewelry. And here I had been excited when he frothed the milk for my coffee. <br /><br />I've learned so much...Jess of CityGirlsWorld.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00004437710582683857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-421752855666391519.post-72966490736708710792010-12-09T06:05:24.619-08:002010-12-09T06:05:24.619-08:00I can't stand that coffee commercial with the ...I can't stand that coffee commercial with the guy who comes back from Africa.

Advertisers are idiots who seem stubbornly committed to these ridiculous gender stereotypes, especially during the holidays.
