If you haven't been paying attention, every sitcom and commercial makes men look like bafoons that are to be controlled by their wives.

Yes they do, the ole saying about the woman wears the pants in the family, I just find it kinda funny how the guy in the video takes the commercial so seriously.

Yep, I did a big paper and presentation on this in University several years back and nothing seems to have improved since then.

I agree totally. Also, they are usually rougher on white males.

Just trying to make up for the decades of TV where women were portrayed as slaves and whores.

It's all good.

cant get the video to play... is this the one where the guy reads something off the box and the wife jumps all over him, asking if he thinks she is fat? then she says, what else does the box say, and the guys says 'it says shut up steve'?

everytime that commercial plays i want to slap that woman, then i turn to my gf and do the fake slap motion and tell her thats what she will get if she ever behaves like that.

Same here. She even says it's demeaning and she would slap that woman if she could.

This is something I've noticed too, and so much so that when it occurs it's a turn off for whatever product they are trying to sell.

I've noticed this for a few years now. White men are the last allowable whiping boys.

Make a joke about anyone else and you're a bigot/racist/sexist.
