Yeah, but thats not all. The commercial is making fun of the overly macho male stereotype, which generally in society is at least somewhat funny and somewhat acceptable (see Home Improvement for example). Most people at some point do something overly “macho” and if you call em on it, they might laugh, or at least not get overly offended.
Now, if you made a commercial where it said at the end “not for black people” you’d most likely be making a commercial where you were making fun of someone for being racist. In that case, you’ll be pissing off both the black people and the potential customers you’ve just been making fun of by calling them racists.
Now that might be funny as some sort of youtube parody or comedy show skit but I don’t think it would work well as an actual commercial.
Wow. See I thought that the Dope was about people getting together and discussing and debating topics large and small but apparently it’s just a place where people can be rude behind the veil of a screen name.
Having said that, I don’t agree with your stance, but I apologize if I’ve insulted you. It was kind of my intent, but I was attacking your ideas, not you personally.
And yes, we can choose to be civil when we disagree. I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you.
Oh, please. If she can’t handle people telling her the stick up her ass is pressing on her logic center, she shouldn’t be playing in The Pit, even as emasculated as it is these days.
Give a woman a fish, and she complains about having to do all the damn cooking around here. Teach a woman to fish, and she makes you bait the hook because worms are gross.
Why does it bother you, though? Obviously, Carter’s already knows that there are just not many people who want to teach their sons to be pussies, and their daughters to be bitches.
I wish I had your life, you obviously haven’t got anything real to worry about.
And you actually wrote to the company about it !
If my self esteem was that low I’d be writing to god knows how many companies whos Ads portray the wife as the brains of the household, while dad is a bumbling idiot; both physicaly and mentally; who is loved but laughed at by the kids.
Lighten up, you seem to have far to much time on your hands, time which could be used a lot more usefully both for yourself and those worse off then yourself.
Still I expect that you gave Dr.Peppers staff a few laughs around the office.
