Homer Simpson ??
No wonder more American men are finding foreign women attractive.
It's obvious why they get away with it. Men don't whine all day about how they're being portrayed, because we're too busy doing useful stuff.
Flame on.
Men

Amazonian
Mastery.
Metrosexuals, most likely.
Example, the Hertz rental car comercial where the black guy standing in line berates the white guy who is angry at having to stand in a long line.
I am quickly converging to the point of totally yanking all commercial television programming.
The thing is - women don't need men... They can buy frozen sperm on internet !
Good post !
This is why I TiVo everything I watch. I skip over all of the man-bashing commercials.
Television is a massive insult to the intellect to anyone with an IQ higher than room temp. The only power these TV execs have is the power you give them. Boycott them (like many 18-45 year old males are) and what they think or do becomes meaningless.
A thought just occured to me - perhaps the male bashing seen so frequently is in response to viewer demographics - men aren't watching (or buying sponsor's products), and catering to the easily influenced Oprah crowd means lots of advertising $$$$ ?
When it inevitably happens, we look at each other and say "Boy those, stupid white people!"
We are the last people left on earth, who are mature enough mentally and secure enough in our image of ourselves that we can not only laugh at our selves, but not be offended because others laugh along. We are setting an example for those insecure, whiney, hung upon self, picked on feeling, poor me spewing, demanding unearned respect, pathetic critters to follow, assuming by some miracle they ever grow a spine and reach some similence of maturity.
As long as they are busy laughing at us (their superiors in everyway) they won't have time to blame our successes for their failures.
Hello?! I would be TOTALLY lost without my husband. We both need to work full time and he is right in there being domestic. We both do laundry, clean house, change diapers, check homework, shop, cook, etc. My husband is a blessing and I pray I won't ever have to do it without him. We make an amazing team!
Men don't care. We're too busy carrying the ball.
I am not a victim, and I will especially never be a victim of the effette, metrosexual, cake-boys that run the media.
I don't give a damn how often Hollyweird or Madison Ave. types portray straight, white, males as the root of all evil, corruption, ineptitude, etc., because I know they are using cameras, and lenses, and film, and videotape equipment, and audio recording equipment, and broadcast equipment, and television sets, all of which were envisioned, designed, and built by straight, white, males.
They bash us because they love us, and they know they wouldn't be $h!t without us.
It's this male-bashing that is causing a lot of unnecessary antagonism between genders.
The medical office personnel who will occupy the space (women) walk in regularly and marvel at what we have built.
On the way to work, I drive by an enormous new elevated freeway interchange also being built by idiot men.
While we are talking about idiot men, I'd like to bring up my favorite fact. Women suffered sagging breasts for thousands of years until a MAN finally designed and built them the first bra.
I'm sick to death at men being put down. We built the whole civilized world and damn near every convenience whining women rely upon to avoid the backbreaking work of their ancestors.
I say ship them off to their own continent. A continent of nothing but whining, self-absorbed women would be at each other's throats within days.
My favorite are the Expedia.com ads - the contrast between the sniveling, simpering pathetic males and the strong, decisive, self assured females in those ads is unequaled.
Someone is just NOW noticing this? Been true for a long time. Someone has just now developed the cojones to say something.
Turn the TV off and have a real life. Hollywood, you're fired.
I have 50 bucks that says most of the offending ads are created by homosexual men.
I think the Progressive ads are particularly vitriolic against men. They are not funny.
So far as I can tell, the only company that had a clue about this type of BS was Dell.....when they ran their "Intern" series of ads they would alternate between making the boys look stupid and the girls looking stupid.
That was savvy enough that I noticed it.
