Those who watch TV, allowing ads to penetrate their own home, contaminating their own castle with that filth, ARE fools and clowns.

The author concludes with "Let's insist that advertisers present us with more positive images" - instead, let's insist that all advertisers are taken by the plague!

Oh for goodness sakes!
What a silly article.

If we can't laugh at each other, or at shows like The Simpsons, without thinking it is all some conspiracy to have a go at one gender or the other, then we will live in a very boring world.

Women are constantly portrayed in the media as air-headed bimbos, only useful for sex and as models for bikinis.

Maybe women would prefer to be seen as someone we could laugh at instead...

I am with Yuyutsu. You only have to look at some of the recent ads for beer, encourageing the usual beer drinking slobs to team with their mates and let there women languish.

Too much abuse of women is the result of this drinking culture.

Bon voyage, God speed and good riddance!
We need this anti social, gender specific horse manure, like a hole in the head!
I mean, if it wasn't hard enough for the few remaining male teachers/male role models already!
[No, no, that's not how you play cricket luv, that's how you play pool! Well run though! Although I think you're supposed to run between the wickets, not around them! And no you're not supposed to rub the ball there! It's on the leg, not between them luv! A world without men? Oh! Okay? Just don't over-shine it then, okay?] And please pardon the intended levity.
Rhrosty.
