Ad Men
Posted by Gerrit at 2010-02-08 10:02:44

More than a few people I talked to were turned off by the sexist tinge of this year's Super Bowl ads, which plays to an audience of 40% dames.  But none could encapsulate it well as firebrand Amanda Marcotte, who identified with her trademark wit :

The big theme this year was the tired sexist trope that implies not only that women rule over men with an iron pussy, [but] that we use our endless power to be screeching, emasculating harpies who hate male pleasure for the sheer fun of it.

Weirdly enough, the Focus on the Family Tim Tebow ad was the least offensive one according to our panel of distinguished experts.
