Do child bearing couples even listen to these environmental hysterics? My guess is the woman may fall for it, for a while, until she realizes that if affordable, her husband probably does want children. He may start looking elsewhere to make that happen.

That’s a nice family photo. I wish that could have been my life.

Is that the guy from the Chrysler Pacifica commercials?

The first commercial in the series his voice and comments were over the top feminine, homosexual. It was in your face blatant.

Have you seen the Chrysler Pacifica commercial?

That was the first time I had noticed him, and it was very grating/offensive to me.

Here’s a link to it. I’ll have to admit though, it sounds nothing like the version I heard on my television.

His voice is not over exaggerated to the feminine.

If you listen to some of the things he says though, it’s just strange. Talking about another guy, “I’ll bet he’s good in bed...”

Those words have never rolled off my lips in relation to a guy.

No, I’ve only seen a few episodes of his comedy show in which he plays basically the guy he says he is in his personal life, a Catholic dad with a lot of little kids. I also saw a harmless comedy routine on Craig Ferguson about how much he loves to eat. Thanks for the heads up if he is off-color in other venues.

Gaffigan is cool I think. I believe he’s a pro-life, Catholic guy. Has clean humor, relatively. the feminine voice is not him being HIM, but for when he’s imitating women.

I’ll have to admit, the commercial sounds a lot less offensive on my computer than it did on my television. On the television it sounded as if he was talking very “gay”, forced. His (commercial character) wife appeared in the commercial, and my instant thought was “dyke”. She just looked hard, and they way he was acting played into that.

I’d heard it five to ten times on the tube, and always felt the same way.

Then I listened to it on my computer, and there was a noticed difference. It even seemed his was eyeing some women.

Very strange how there could be such a big difference just one medium to another.

I may have been off base.

Thanks for the reply.

Okay, thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.

You may want to read my last post above, just a post or two up.

I explain my evolving thoughts on it.

OK, I watched it. Sounded like the voice thing is to mock yuppies and metrosexuals who buy cool new cars. And the reference to another guy being good in bed was because the “other guy” has five kids. So does Gaffigan, therefore he is implying sarcastically that he must be really good in bed to the only other person in earshot, his wife, who responds with a put-down as you see in the video. It’s more of his “martyred by fatherhood” comedy schtick. To me, it’s mildly funny and edgy with today’s young people’s sense of humor.

It’s a shame the thread is getting off-track with discussing Gaffigan, which was not my intent.

Hey, people, the topic here is whether birth control and having fewer or no children is a beneficial act for the planet (even if it means the death of Western Civ). Basically, it’s Environmentalists vs. God’s Will.

There are MANY things wrong with the lefts beliefs in regards to this matter.

BUT

The biggest thing they overlook is that unless EVERYBODY in the world cuts back on population growth.... An individual country doing so will only be freeing up land and resources for someone else’s progeny that currently live elsewhere BUT that WILL eventually move to where there is plentiful room and resources.

I feel bad for people that fall for the lies of feminism and global warming/climate change or whatever they’re calling it this month. They are really missing out on the joys of having children. I can’t imagine growing old and then realizing, Oh my God, I missed out on all of that because of a bunch of lies.

And I personally have no intention of using toilets that dont flush properly, shower heads that just drip, reusable grocery backs packed with deadly bacteria, and digging through my own garbage to sort it, so that some 3rd world parasites spawn will still have space and resources when they illegally invade my country sometime in the future.

I have no idea. I live in TN and we don’t get any Chrysler Pacifica commercials here. Besides I don’t watch commercials.
