Hmm…my brother’s a chef and I don’t feel at all insulted on his behalf in this conversation. Perhaps you should re-read the posts. I don’t think it’s your profession that’s being insulted.

He’s not effeminate, just a “high-talker”.

His voice is the least annoying thing about him. If you notice, the entire phrase is “<Mattress Fuckers> will match any advertised price or your mattress is freeee!”. Which of course means that your mattress is not free, just available at the lowest advertised price, which it would be whether Mattress Fuckers made their price-matching offer or not. But all you remember is the “free” part, because of the way he yells it at the end of every commercial.
That son of a bitch ought to be taken underwater in ALVIN to 20,000 feet, put in the airlock, and let out, where his bloated, frozen corpse will be slowly devoured by monstrous creatures unknown to science.

To say the least, this is a bizarre thread.
FWIW, some men, of whom I have the misfortune to be one, have voices of which mikes pick up the harmonics rather than the base tone. My normal talking voice is a low tenor, slightly higher pitched than the arithmetic average male voice, but not at all unusually so. But over the telephone or on the radio, I sound like a woman, and not a throaty contralto either.
Perhaps these folks don’t realize how high pitched their on-air voice sounds.
However, the crux of this Pit thread is something that hasn’t dawned on Chef Phase42 yet – the obnoxious and insulting stereotypes he uses in his OP. To give thread participants credit, they’ve alluded to it rather than ripping him a new anal sphincter – but maybe it’s time someone laid it on the line to him how bigoted it sounds.
Bluntly, Mr. OP, if you are inclined to judge everyone by whether they conform to your standards of existence, nobody gives a flying fuck how annoying those commercials are to you. Remember, they’re paying for your free entertainment. If you can’t live with that, move to somewhere where they have no commercials – and programs are censored to tell you what you have to believe. Or turn the damn thing off and do something constructive with your life.
If I was only 1/100 as eloquent as Poly, I’d die a happy man.
Well said.
If that’s true, why is it that men announcing on Spanish language radio stations in the US all have deep baritone voices? It’s amazing that a DJ can speak rapidfire 300 WPM Spanish while sounding like a Mexican Barry White.
Hey, I like those commercials. I think the little skits with him and his accountant are rather funny, in an “amateur hour school play” sort of way.
Now,the commercials from the American Jewish League, those piss me off… but that’s a different topic for a different thread.
