Fucked up messages on TV
If you have the TiVo you probably haven't seen this. I catch way too many commercials, and I think it's kinda sad that so many of them stick in my head. I've had a note for this sitting beside the machine for a couple days now, because I just had to comment on it.
There's this commercial for Helzberg diamonds, where some dude is painting his woman's toenails (they don't get too specific on the relationship, I doubt it's all that important). Then after he delivers his line: "I think it needs another coat," the announcer tells us: "Because you're not 'that guy.'" The logo bit comes up to let you know who payed for the ad, commercial over.
That is grade A fucked up. Oh no, women are horrible materialistic whores who require jewelry in order to maintain an interest in a man. There is no way that personal attention to a woman could ever compete with a rock dug out of the ground by African slave labor. That's right people, stand-up comics and cheap sitcoms have been telling the truth all along - all a woman wants is material wealth and possessions, not a man willing to do something nice for her just because.
Besides, we all know that guy painting her toes was gay. Straight men don't even know how to use nail polish. Sheesh.
