'Someone's Got To Wear the Pants In This Family': Kia Commercial Mocks American Husband
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/13/2015 6:26:20 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What's been implicit in TV commercials for years—that American husbands are feckless wimps—has now officially become explicit . . .

Tuning in to watch a simple Sunday Night Football game, we were treated to a Kia ad. Wife at the wheel as the family pulls into a crowded parking lot for their kid's football game. Wimpy husband suggests they go back and park someplace safe. We get to read the wife's mind as, driving it up a hill, she says "or, we could run it right up the gut." She then adds the coup de grace: "someone's got to wear the pants in this family." Take that!

View the commercial here.

Or the Mass Mutual and MetLife life insurance ads where there is nary a white face to be seen. If I was visiting America from another planet I’d conclude the inhabitants of the country were totally Black. We see extended Black families (a total myth) lounging around $750,000 homes with all of the children wearing LL Bean sweaters and the adults discussing finances. Not one view of the reality of the Black family as it really is, a one-parent (the mom) dysfunctional unit with no father and countless children being supported by the U.S. taxpayer in Section 8 housing. But Hollywood and Madison Avenue long ago abandoned truth for turning reality on its head. Whenever there’s a thief or criminal or murderer on TV or in an ad, they are without exception portrayed as white males. Again a total flip-flop of actual crime statistics. If you lie enough it will become the truth for a lot of people. Cloward-Piven. And Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.

Besides, at the FIRST glimse of a spider, the woman will be screaming for her husband to kill it. Never fails.
What gives with that? My beautiful and talented step daughter can shoot and field dress her own deer but I have to squash spiders and take dead mice out of traps for her.

I think that our good Lord gave men "weapon," "truck," "tool," and "dog" genes.

He gave us "jewelry" genes and FEAR-OF-SPIDERS-GENES as well.

When I die and (I hope) go to heaven I want to ask our good Lord about the fagility of the KNEE. I might also ask him about the FEAR-OF-SPIDERS-GENES.

So was mine. He passed five years ago. Not a day goes by...

I'm sorry for your loss.

When we finally have female supremacy, does that mean we get to have affirmative action for men?

It takes a woman to need an AWD vehicle to drive up a small grassy hill and think she accomplished something brave.

I also notice the commercial just teaches women to think shitty things while keep their filthy mouths shut. Also, the whole thing is done in an oh-so-attractive bar voice. I guess that’s supposed to be tough, too.

Feminists are a mockery of courage and intelligence. In truth, they are eternal teenage boy wimps who have to have every little thing adjusted for them, and when they get into trouble they call for a big man to save their sorry @sses.

Feminists are losers. They fail at femininity, and they don’t even come close to masculinity. The only thing they’re really good at is giving the impression of someone who is eternally constipated, while they stab everyone in the back.

I see the Madison Avenue pecking order a little different:

1. Blacks are smarter than whites. 2. Women are smarter than men. 3. Children are way smarter than adults of any kind.

It follows from this that the smartest people in the world are little black girls so the sooner we elect one for President, the better, right?

What a warm, friendly, caring, and pleasant wife and Mom. Gag me...I wouldn’t have made it past Date #1 with that self-absorbed beeotch. The guy isn’t a wimp so much for putting up with her driving as he is for staying married to her.

And what sort of a-hole would leave the parking lot to park ten yards up a public park slop? “Look at me — I’m too important to play by the rules.” She HAS to be an Obama voter. Hope she gets a whopper parking ticket and cars in the parking lot block her in.

Women that want to be men are absolutely terrible in bed. Just awful.
