Am I the only one annoyed by the hectoring pro"women" Super Bowl "commercials?"
my own fevered imagination | February 1, 2015 | me

Posted on 02/01/2015 5:29:34 PM PST by JOHN ADAMS

Am I the only person watching this "football game" (which is actually a good football game) annoyed by these annoying lectures, masquerading as commercials, about how powerful, capable, independent and valuable women are, so we barbaric men shouldn't devalue them, disrespect them (not actually a word) or hit them? Is this really what we need to be told while we're trying to just watch a ball game? I know the rest of the culture insists on this, but aren't men the primary clientele of the NFL? Why does the NFL have to subject us to this nonsense?

The Super Bowl doesn't cater to the football fan, it caters to the general public, and especially women who are watching more for the entertainment and spectacle than for the actual game.

That aside, the real annoying thing this year is the whole, "hey, we have a problem with our players being real a**hats toward women... I KNOW!!! We'll lecture our fans about needing to respect women, so everyone just assumes it's a 'society' problem instead of our own thug culture!:

Or change the ending to that depressing “… but I died in an accident” Nationwide ad to make it a pro-life ad by saying “… but I was aborted” instead.

Yep...kissed a girl and I liked it. Then she bends over and puts her rear end out at Lenny Kravitz crotch.

Tell ya, nothing seems sacred anymore.

No she didn’t kiss a girl at the halftime show. She sang her hit song which contains lyrics that she kissed a girl. Can we have a day without someone pushing homosexuality???

Seems to me that it’s mostly nature and only part nurture, but they just didn’t want to come right out and admit it.

She’s got great legs. Other than that, not much worth watching.

Why do you think Muzzies despise the Western World? These commercials give the wrong impression.

“Disrespect” is indeed a word. Shakespeare used it.

But as a noun. People who use it as a verb annoy me no end.

Football is dead and will be gone in less than 20 years.

Math is hard. Superbowl XLIX should’ve been written as simply ‘IL’.

What’s up with the goofier than sh*t car commercials? Makes me want to go out and buy a bike.

Smart growth liberals would be happy if you did.

The micromini cars that people are buying is a transitionary phase to getting there.

I’m the father of boys and girls. One son is in engineering school. His school is about 90% male but nearly every piece of literature from every college he looked at featured an over-preponderance of females.

Talk about bait and switch advertising!

Lenny Kravitz was up there singing with her. Did he sing ‘I kissed a boy and I liked it”?

I have written off the NFL long ago (in fact all American professional sports leagues) and also do not have a television. So TV advertising has no chance of having any influence on me.

Except if you 'internet', you are bound to run into a webpage here or there (even news sites) with imbeded youtube video clips with advertisements that roll before the video clip.

Feminazis are now using the terms ‘mansplain’ and ‘manspread’ to marginalize men in debate and in public.

“I’ve been sick of those commercials for weeks. They are almost as irritating as the months of wearing pink.”

We need more of those games, especially in December. Not really but here it is;

think of all the pizz whine and moaning if a guy was told "it's a girl, sorry..."

It'd be funnier if they said that and were Chinese or Indian or muslim or...
