Venus and Mars 2010

So many of us watched the Super Bowl- some for the spectacle, some for The Who (The Two) and some even for the football. I watch it mostly for the ads, which had been building over the years to a celebration of high concept, high budget marketing displays in the interstitial format. This year was a big letdown though. I might say it was the economy, but there was enough quantity of advertising, its just that the quality, and in this example the tone was way off.

Here's an ad for the Dodge Charger, as out of time a vehicle as there ever was but hey guys like cars (truism) and we're henpecked dolts ( FAIL ) watch:

Yeah I'm an enlightened, but emasculated prig 'cause I didn't find that ad smart or even chuckle worthy, right? Right.

Anyhow what was smart was this follow up video "Womans Last Stand" watch:

I like scratching my nuts as much as the next guy, but I adore and respect women, don't believe that they are bio-neurologically different from us and think that equality exists, if only in a cerebral sense most of the time. Ahh enough ranting for a while, I've got laundry to do...
