Angel Soft Commercial Feminism Viciously Attack Fathers Day Masculinity!

I want every male FReeper to watch this video and tell me if you think Tommy is correct about this commercial?
When does he actually get to the commercial?
It is a toilet paper commercial after all.
Tommy starts playing the commercial 51 seconds into his commentary. You will hear him say “take a look” then it starts playing. You then see some people talking about how wonderful their moms were. At the very end you see that it’s a commercial for Angel Soft toilet paper and the slogan “happy Father’s Day Mom” or something like that. Then Tommy goes back into his commentary about the commercial.
Could be hypersensitivity - we live in a rather prickly age, don't we? But there was something very unpleasant underlying what should have been a positive message. I don't think our host was out of line at all.
I watched it - at 12:05 he got political, called out “conservative pr!cks” who would donate or the jebster to oppress blacks . . . I don’t favor the latest Bush, but the guy loses any support right there.
It’s the next stage of what advertisers have been doing for years.
“Father” in tv ads was reduced to the role of the bumbler, mother knows best but sometimes the kids outsmart them all.
Next “Father” disappeared altogether (he wasn’t seen at the breakfast table, or helping the kids with their studies, or playing outside).
If father did appear, he was the comic relief, or possibly a minority father partnered with a white woman (which on the whole isn’t a bad thing but strange when father isn’t in any of the other ads), or the new trend TWO fathers and no mother.
So now we are at a stage when there is no father, he’s gone (bad health choices, vagabond, criminal, etc) and mother has to be both mother and father. “All families are the same” except kids are being denied a parent of each sex, both of whom contribute something to the upbringing. And it isn’t acceptable for there to be a male centered father’s day anymore.
Tommy seems to have issues with getting his program crowdsourced. Turning on your audience only ever worked for Dr. Gene Scott.
But he is more coherent than some youtubers I’ve seen (like any of the “reacts to” vloggers).
Yes he correct.. and my mother would agree...my parents spit when I was 7....they had there issues and the spit was her choice.... and she never disrespected my dad to us kids or as a father....
Tommy is conservative but he’s not political. I have watched hundreds of his videos, he will blast both sides when he feels they are lacking. He is pro family, pro father, pro child, (the real) pro black.
His opinion is to not rely on the government (republican or democrat) to change the black family but that black people need to change themselves from within. More or less pull themselves up by their own boot straps. I can see that.
See my post #12 and tell me what you think.
It's not an accident that they picked the occasion of Father's Day for this message.
If you want to acknowledge what a great person your mom is/was there's an appropriate time and place for that. The attempt to expropriate Father's Day by injecting these little anecdotes is insidious and, I think, malicious as well.
I can’t wait for the “I’m only celebrating one of my mommies on Mother’s Day because my other mommy walked out on us” commercial for tampons.
I don’t think he’s a joke (even unintentionally) and he’s angry about how he sees this culture going. There has been a 50 year attack on the family courtesy of NOW.
And he may have a point about the black mother, I don’t know. I wasn’t checking boxes, just taking in the general message of “there was no father in the house” in all of the stories. Same with whether the men were masculine/macho/toughs, or pajama boys, wimps, or proud gay men.
I watched about 8 or 9 minutes before I posted a comment. I didn’t watch the whole thing.
This “advocacy” advertising that Angel Soft took up is strange. Some other advertiser recently ran another (same sex?) advocacy stunt. The ads have NOTHING to do with the product being sold.
Does any sponsor run “dear old dad” ads outside of Budwheiser or whoever during the Superbowl? Any traditional families without snark?
I gave up on tv 8 years ago because the broadcasters and advertisers turned their backs on me, my politics, my religion, my beliefs and traditions. Too much bias in the news, too much hostility from the comedy and commentary shows.
My “safe area” is a DVD player, a turntable, and a radio.
I watch some new releases on DVD, not strictly into nostalgia and reruns. However, I choose to let it in my home and don’t have to let it act like an uninvited house guest insulting everyone in earshot.
I notice the kids never said what happened to their dads, or if there was one present. Sounds like part of the homosexual agenda to disavow normal families.
PS I was in Chase bank today. There was a video screen with a number of clips screened. Some for services offered. One was to announce the celebration of gay pride month. No father’s day announcement.
Down is up.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett
...It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish...
With each commercial I see like this (and Chobani), I’m more and more convinced that the residents of the Twilight Zone tune in every week to a terrifying show called Obama’s America.
Gave them a piece of my mind on Facebook.
