so has anyone else seen these damn beer commercials?
where the giant can of beer drops from the sky onto an unsuspecting dude caught being sensitive?
then the announcer says 'be a man, drink (cant remember the name of the beer)'
i started to laugh, but then i was like whoa!!! what the hell!!??
so a man isnt a TRUE man if he is caught being sensitive or caring?
Man up!!!!
thoughts or responses??

I know...it is frustrating right?? There are so many messages like that...especially wiht beer. This film called spin the bottle which looks at different ways advertising for beer impacts society, and they spend a good amount of time on the gender differences it is amazing. Particularly how much subliminal violence is in ads for men..or the screw em and leave em or use it to get some messages. AND if you notice the bacardi ads right now, they kind of give women permission to give into men "Librarian by day, Bacardi by night" or "Teacher by day, Bacardi by night" and they have the pics or ads split in half of this conservative woman during the day and the same woman is half naked and partying at night...with bacardi of course. I have not seen the commercials that you are talkin about, BUT, it is crazy the power and purpose of beer companies and the ads they produce.
exactly!! i found it quite disturbing...of course the men sitting around me laughed thier asses off and couldnt figure out why it pissed me off
it's a damn shame...back to that whole "nice guys finish last" thing that you know i have issues with. i felt the same way when i saw it--and was also watching with men who laughed loudly...until i informed them that almost every woman i know would rush over to that poor guy and feel sorry for him and nurse him back to health--leaving them (the laughing hyenas) alone with only each other to giggle with. :o)
advertisements appealing to sexual roles in a society will always be utilized/ controversial... see, marlboro man.
sounds like a poem waiting to happen... happy nu year sweetie. will look out for sir relent...
