I don't get it :-5
I saw one ad (not ads) posted from you, RG. Wasn't sure of the meaning. Maybe not all the thumbnail shots didn't come through for me?
Forgive me for being dense, but...

I'm sorry Erin. Click on the link above the thumbnail and it will take you to the website with the ads on it. They're old ads that aren't very kind to women.
If you still have problems with it, let me know.

I think this comment is so true though.......
"If you look at TV adverts, its now common to portray the man as a bumbling incompetent fool and the woman as the super smart one - adverts such as PC Which for example.
In a lot of current adverts, if you changed the sex of all the characters over there would be howls of protests that the advert was now sexist against women, but because its the man being ridiculed in the advert, no one says anything. This has been going on for at least 20 years."
:wah:

I agreed with that too, Summer! It seems the men are too stupid to even work the microwave and can't run a load of clothes or take care of their kids as well. I'm waiting for the day though, when we see men advertising all that household stuff instead of the women. The ads make it look like women never work outside the house even still, plus run their household after work.
