They lambaste black males almost as much.

only if no crackers are around.....one group the movies do pick on besides "whites" are Indians (not the noble savage one)

LUV IT BUMP!

I tried treating the women in my office as equals and ended up in sensitivity training.

Speaking from adirect and recent experience, believe, you were lucky it was only that!

[jaybee]

this is the one that infuriated me when I was a girl. Check out the kitchen!

Commercials on Japanese TV are a blast. Not PC at all.

I’m a guy, but what used to infuriate me was how on TV and in the movies when there would be a fight how the girls would huddle in the corner and wring their hands. It made me embarrassed for the women. At least now the girls fight.

Gunilla Knudsen. I’ll bet she was overexposed after that commercial ran 90 million times. I don’t think I ever saw her again.

[Fledermaus]

My wife would say, “okay, what did you do THIS time?”

TV used to be more real

If you think that that the women and girls don’t head for the corners or the exits when the men’s blood runs hot, then you don’t run on the dark side of life.

In hard core bars where the yuppies don’t go, the women do not play at being someone that will go toe to toe with the men.

You’re right. I don’t run on the ‘dark side’.

[ansel12]

“You’re right. I don’t run on the ‘dark side’.”

Not many people do, it is amazing that the hardest, toughest women are found there, and while they may kick ass and scare the other females in society, they mess with the men in their world less than a little suburban housewife will mess with the men in her world.

Thanks to you, I spent 5 hours tonight looking at the Krass brothers ads, going to Local Philadelphia station promos, then going all over the country, from New york to Washington (WTOP was disturbing) to LA, and finally ending up at TV studio logos like Paramount, and Viacom. I don’t know why, but as a kid, and it seems for many people, those station and studio IDs seemed to scare young children. Anyway, here’s some highlights from my YouTube surfing:

THIS ONE IS HILARIOUS!!!

I will say this. I knew a little woman once who would get in the face of those so-called ‘dark side’ men all the time. Called it opening a can of feminine whup-ass. She thought she could intimidate men so thoroughly she was perfectly safe. I told her that only works as long as the men want to play along. When men decide to drop the civilized veneer and go with the natural thing, she’s screwed.

But there are plenty of women willing to whack somebody over the head with a barstool if he’s beating up her guy.

[ichabod1]

btw... I used to find myself on the dark side entirely too frequently, and I finally realized I’m not equipped for that world and I’d get along much better if I just stayed out.

everyone happy in line as they make purchases until some dolt uses cash and crashes the well-oiled machine.

My wife and daughter both work in retail and tell me that there's a lot of truth in that ad, except that cash doesn't crash the party - checks do, because of the slow, tedious way they have to verify them.

[trisham]

Ah, the good old days. :)

“She thought she could intimidate men so thoroughly she was perfectly safe. I told her that only works as long as the men want to play along.”

LOL I have seen that, especially in cowboy bars where two deadly guys will get flustered if a female owner or bar maid starts dressing them down.

Those women know men and how to work a crowd, but I have seen those same women lose that confidence when in a setting where they weren’t so sure of the nature of the group.

Glad to help push you along on a nice little cyber journey... :). I used to drive one of my former bosses apesheet nuts by humming the first line of that Ideal commercial jingle...it would bounce around in his melon for the remainder of the day. :)

Yikes...it is amazing that Willard Scott surpassed that early level of creepiness - who'd have thought it possible. That's one of those clowns that you'd never let near the children...the clown doll from Poltergeist was less scary. Heh.

Five hours of Krass brothers ads has been known to cause dementia. :). Nice little writeup about the owner of the store (guy in commercials) here: http://www.broadcastpioneers.com/krass.html

From the article: "His last wish was to have a plaque inscribed, 'He went in a Krass Brothers suit.' He did!"

"SHUT UP AND GET IN THE CAR"

Can't remember the commercial though. And it sure looks likea 1970 Goldi Hawn behind the wheel of the Mini.
