Here's the frontal version. Not my cup of tea, maybe she's yours. But that mouth on her is an industrial strength deal-breaker.

Now, if Edwards read stuff like this from Marcotte and not her profane BDS/anti-Christian/testosterone allergic screeds and wanted to hire her, it gives an idea about where he's coming from.
The blogger Shakespeare’s Sister wrote recently of a favorite tactic in commercials, setting up situations where manhood is proven by disdaining women by using the advertised product.Burger King: A guy and a girl sit at a table together. The guy throws down his fork and jumps up into a song-and-dance routine, braying about how he’s not going to eat “chick food” anymore. He sings and dances his way to Burger King to get a ginormous burger, joined by other men who are all doing the same...
I used to resist the idea that there was something sexist about pro-meat and anti-vegetarian sentiments, but no more...in this commercial, women are so contemptible that anything associated with femininity, even something as mundane as eating vegetables, must be harshly and loudly rejected. And the object that men bond over in this case isn’t a woman’s body, but a greasy hamburger...
...So what men watching this commercial are left with is not just the message that they have to oppose women to be Real Men, but also the implication that Real Men destroy the environment.
BTW, Here's the British version of the ad in question. Check out some of the comments. Marcotte and McEwan are not alone.
