I Hate Sexist Advertising!
Advertising January 16th, 2006I’m sick of it and it’s everywhere and it’s going to continue to be everywhere until more of us start dropping little emails to companies like the choice, yet polite, words I’m going to flung at both companies. There is a Hamburger Helper commercial airing right now that shows a series of women, as moms, with the trademarked Helper hand, all talking about making dinner. How delightfully 1950s! Oh, but it continues.
After showing woman after woman, and a kid or two, thanking the Hamburger Helper for making her job of dinner so much easier. Suddenly, a construction worker pops up with the ridiculous Helper Hand on and insists we “give Mom a hand”. Come again? How’s that? I have a better idea. Why don’t the happy families of Commercialville entertain the idea of an equality-based family where men and women cook?
It’s almost as wonderful as the KFC commercial where Mom busts into the kitchen, before a family seated and waiting for dinner. She offers a bucket of chicken, declaring that this variety pack offers the possibility of a different variety of chicken for “everyone”, right? Wrong. By everyone, she forgets herself. Oh, that’s rich, isn’t it?
I’ll schlep crispy chicken for you, honey barbecue chicken for you and, whatever, chicken balls for you, but me? Oh, no, don’t worry about me. Puh-leeze. I’m sick of it and it’s everywhere and it’s going to continue to be everywhere until more of us start dropping little emails to companies like the choice, yet polite, words I just flung at both companies.

LOL, I’m an advertising exec and have worked in the top agencies for the last 12 years. News flash, advertising is going nowhere…in fact, it will only become more prevalent.

Yeah, women stopped cooking in the 1960’s and now only men do it, so those ads totally misrepresent reality. Right….
Another news flash- maybe most men don’t like to cook and a higher percentage of women do.

I hate Advertisements because they can’t sell you a damn thing with out sex. I like Sex but does it have to be shoved in my face every minute. I was listening to radio this morning and some bitch was talking in a pseudo-sultry voice talking about a cracker was “oh naked I guess you could say HA HA”. It is a cracker. Come on tell me what it taste like not how your planning on humping it you nasty cunt.

I hate hearing all about womens freshness, tampons, mens pills to make them even hornier than they are, ky jelly, summers eve, anything to do with pooing, throwing up, stupid insurance commercials, stupid loud asshole yelling about some new product that is always 19.95 or the over abundance of late night whores promising wild anything for a phone call, they all have fake breasts, nails, teeth, tans, hair, what a bunch of fake bullshit. I hate it. sham wow

Recently, there has been an increase in “sexist” advertising. I have started to notice, that there are more portrayals of men in negative aspects, almost every advertisement or commercial is beginning to demean men and make them seem “stupid” or “idiotic”. It’s bloody well revolting. Commercials have simply started to insult our intelligence, I have hardly seen a “serious” commercial in ages. Most are slapped together, supposed to be “humorous” or “entertaining” but all they do is put a nice cold slap across the face and say “you are a fucking idiot”. I’m sorry for my poor elaboration on this subject. ^.^
