    Default so how would it feel if it was the other way around?

    A citi bank ad about a woman who kept redecorating her living room and it didn't matter what she did nothing was "right" but it wasn't her living room that was wrong it was her husband so she gave him a make over, now how would that be accepted in society if the roles were switched?

    That's really cruel. It's the other side of the sexism coin. Can't make fun of women but men are fair game!! Teehee! Isn't dat cute.

    Methinks that's a possibility for certain products... I can see it now: Dude keeps redoing his hotrod car, and it never turns out right, until he replaces the woman standing there in a housecoat and curlers with a scantily clad blonde, who then proffers him an ice cold <insert beer brand here>, and they drive off into the sunset, overlaid with logo, fade to black.

    I totally agree that it's messed up, but I can see some marketing firm using it nonetheless. Gender politics is a strange, strange beast...

    I haven't seen the commercial but the way you describe it kinda reminds me of that tampon commercial "upgrade." I gotta say though, there is so much objectification of women in commercials that this pales in comparison. Of course that doesn't make this commercial ok or anything.
