There's a commercial running right now for AT&T, that I wonder how it made it through a conference room of creative writers without getting shot down for being utterly stupid, and offensive to at least 50% of it's intended audience.
The commercial, is the one where the whipped husband, sheepishly tells his disapproving wife, he's added unlimited text messaging to their cell phone plan. She then summons the steeds of bitchiness and contempt, to belittle this guy for wasting such household money without discussing it with her first.
Does anybody notice, this cranky yenta is busy watering her precious hothouse flowers?
I would venture to say, if you own a home with a greenhouse, you are not strapped for cash for extra cell phone minutes. Unless she's working at a local nursery, and this poor sap just came by to update the missus on the cell plan, and let her take a free swinging kick at his manhood in the process. (Doubtful).
Assuming many men DO control the cell phone plan at home, how exactly is this commercial going to make them feel like calling AT&T and getting a piece of that? So, whatever. Another commercial where men are made out as spineless, stupid, helpless saps without their better halves.
I suppose there are an equal number of commercials that freely clown women with the same degree of condescension. But maybe not. Do me a favor folks, and remind me of what those commercials are.
