You know it's really stupid that it's OK to make fun of white people or call them names, but when you make fun of black people or any other minority, you're called a "raciest"! I'm not raciest or any thing, but it's true. Also if you say something that sounds like men are smarter than women, all the feminist go on the offensive. It's so politically-correct.

In this PC age of advertising, there is one group who can still be made the butt of jokes with total impunity: middle-aged white guys.

Don't forget Southerners, too.

This has been going on for decades. I remember a commercial in the ..... late 70's? Early 80's? where the wife was exposing the virtues of a toilet bowl cleaner.
White guy Hubby suddenly appears in a panic, screaming," It's turning Blue! Our toilet is turning blue!"
The wife then has to console him, calm him down.

Yeah, "dumb white guy" who can't operate a computer.

Except for one thing. Everything related to a computer, from the motherboard, to the plastic case, to the metal screws holding it together, to the software running it, to the glass monitor, to the electricity running it, to the power plants that provide the electricity, to the dams that hold back the water, that generates the electrical power... ALL OF THAT, THE WHOLE ENCHILADA, was built by and/or invented/created by friggin' men!

I challenge any woman on this site to name one damn thing invented by a woman. And kitchen and/or haircare gadgets don't count!

Then go take a look at a magazine rack. All of the women's magazines are focused on "me, me, me". Cosmo, Glamour, Me, Weddings, Bridal this and Bridal that, clothes, makeup, etc. ad nasuem.

Then look at men's magazines: It's all about activities and creation. Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Hot Rods, Guns and Ammo, Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, Time, Fortune, Architecturial Digest, etc..

And consider television shows such as "Yes, Dear" (the husband is a total wuss; even the show's name forewarns you about the premise of the show), then the Lifetime Channel. On the Lifetime Channel all men are either (a) totally wussified, (b) rapists, (c) wife-beaters, (d) wife-killers, (e) child molesters, (f) criminal thugs, (g) racists -- you get the picture. And on the Lifetime Channel, all women are noble, oppressed, courageous, wise, benevolent, dignified, honorable, etc. "You go girl!" "Girl Power".

And by the way, I hear that the Lifetime Channel is owned by the Alpha Feminist, Orca Winfrey.

Since I watch "Desperate Housewives", "24", "The Shield", "House" and "Boston Legal" WITH MY WIFE every single week, I just don't get this ad at all.

I absolutely hate that commercial!
There would be major problems at my house if that were to occur.
And yes, it is one of many male bashing commercials.
