goodreasonnews asked: You have to see the commercial for a product called MaxTall. For so many reasons I want to find who created this product and bash their faces in with the blunt end of their own severed leg.
2008 Britney/Russell VMA ad
I haven’t had a tv for a while, but I just saw these 2008 VMA adverts with Russell Brand and Britney Spears. Here’s my favorite, where he mocks her intelligence and then asserts they’ll be wed soon. GIGGLES!

Anonymous asked: I was watching TV and I couldn't help but notice that commercials for medication, unless the condition only effects men, seem to have only women suffering from the condition they treat.(Not on all the commercials but it seems more often then not) What, men don't get sick? Also Women seem to be the only people who want to whiten their teeth.

theamazingphenoiger asked: I know once again this has nothing to do with ads -well, ok, scratch that. I am sure there are plenty of ads that pertain to this theme. I was just blogging about women and how they are still, even in the amazingly futuristic year of 2012, primarily expected to do nothing greater with their life than produce their own offspring. I do not think this is right. We are no longer in the dark ages -far...

spacecricket asked: UGH, that "Stop Staring and Take Her Picture" ad for Padre Island was plastered all over MY campus, too. I made a point to write WOMEN ARE NOT OBJECTS all over the ones I could find, or just tear them down. I realize the woman in the ad probably gave consent for her image to be used, but the damage occurs when people internalize this and come to believe that consent is not necessary to...

atticwindow asked: Maybe if the people who don't understand why the PETA ad is offensive watch it with the sound off, they'll understand why it's so inappropriate. With the narration, it's a joke - a tasteless and poorly thought out joke, but an attempt at humor nonetheless (in the advertisers' minds). Without, it's more disturbing, especially the start. Also, the boy looking contrite...

Anonymous asked: Why is the PETA ad considered sexist? A friend and I watched it and they say that it's not because the girl smiles at the end so she is obviously enjoying herself.
"I'm so surprised that PETA produced an ad with...
PETA says, “Veganism will turn your boyfriend into a sex god!”
This ad says, “We support violence against women as a punchline!”

theamazingphenoiger asked: I like how a man is trying to decide whether women should have the right to abort . I am sure that if he had been the unfortunate victim of rape and was carrying the resulting child he would be thinking differently.

Oh, the HEADPHONES won't fall out!
I found this today. I’m not sure if anyone has sent it in. It was listed on this page: http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/30-freakiest-ads-2011-136965
It’s the second ad on that page. #29.

thechaser22 asked: To the anon - while I understand how someone could view this site as just "complaining" and not active, I think what this site does is so important. The reason sexist ads are so pervasive is because people don't notice them anymore! We're asleep to the objectification of women because it's all around us. Sites like this wake us up to what's happening and force us to...

Anonymous asked: re; last anon: I for one have certainly withdrawn my services from various products when they've used sexist advertising. Or at least stopped paying for them.
Anonymous asked: Not meaning to be offensive, but I never understood why you chose to try combat sexist advertising by complaining. In any other case, protesting like this would at least help, but for ads it's all about what makes the most money, and fanservice is most definitely profitable. People will very rarely choose to stop buying a product because they hate the ads, and the marketing guys know that. In...
This super sexist swedish ad is so horrible. The ad is for website where you can rent video games. The text says “Dear Åsa, I promise to never, ever, ever buy a video game again. Your Tiger” and below it says “Finally a promise that’s easy to keep. Never buy video games, just rent them.” This is so stupid I don’t even know where to begin. Apparently no women...

Anonymous asked: I only found out just recently that Go Daddy was a web hosting service. I had seen countless commercials and I always thought it was a porn site. Sure surprised me.

latinobynameonly asked: Can I ask you guys what you think of these Truvia commercials?I just saw one recently reusing the footage while applying the melody of a Christmas song but I rather "enjoy" these ones better. There are a few of these and while these are less overt I still find this whole "All women have an uncontrollable sweet tooth" thing to just be getting old. I am also getting sick of men...

Anonymous asked: I don't know if you know this (but just in case you don't) the Fotoshop by Adobe is a fake commercial. The source says "the commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty.")
