Banned Commercial - Verizon (stupid dad)

This TV commercial was removed from the air by Verizon Communications under pressure by His Side, a men's rights organization led by activist Glenn Sacks. The campaign against the ad was endorsed by countless psychologists and familiy counselors because of the ad's denigration of fathers and men in general.

The advertising agency, McGarryBowen, is once again producing ads for Verizon as of April 2010. You can contact them at:

Commercials like these are the reason why Western Civilization is going down the toilet. It all starts with dumb dads like Homer and Peter Griffin and these commercials. Men created about 90% of all inventions inculding computers and tvs. You would never see debacles like this 50 years ago.

A man invented the technology that the little girl is using. Fact: If men had never invented machines women would still be in the kitchen today. Men replaced their own power (physical strength) with machines. Women say they were oppressed into the kitchen but the truth is women knew they couldn't do the hard and often dangerous/violent work that men had to do in the past before machines and computers were around. Feminism has lied about history. How many women have died for freedom? Very few.

Why was banned?!? When a commercial is sexist towards women and women complain, the men say they are being too sensitive. But when a commercial depicts equality between the genders then it's all an evil feminist propaganda. Give me a break.

This Misandric - Male-hating Propaganda has lead to an epidemic of False Accusations of Domestic Violence, Abuse and Rape in this country.

There are Laws, Legislations, Court and Police practices that encourage False Accusations, Women gain from False Accusations

2c. The "Feminist" Ideology that is now Indoctrinated into Politics, the Government, Courts, Police and General Public, that:

...- Women need Help and Protection, Men must be Restrained, Prosecuted and Jailed!

... - Why?

[VAWAImmigrProstitute]

Yes... and this is a part of the 45 years of "Feminist" Domestic Violence Industry Evil Indoctrination that is now Indoctrinated into Politics, the Government, Courts, Police and General Public, that:

- Women are Good, Men are Bad!

- Women are helpless Victims, Men are Perpetrators!

- Women need Help and Protection, Men must be Restrained, Prosecuted and Jailed! ?

@pachown

Because it's portraying the man as being dumb. Just like so many other commercials do nowadays.

[pachown]

No one is noticing the woman is carrying laundry and picking up after the dog? Not to mention the girl couldn't pronounce encyclopedia. Why is this sexist against males again?

[XPsychoBurgundyX]

Commercials like this and that phone commercial where the woman says "Where is that money coming from Steve" in the most arrogant, condescending, roundhouse kick to the throat-worthy voice ever are precisely why the world is going completely to shit. It's one thing for women to want to be equal to men, but it's entirely another to make men look dumb and women look superior at every which turn and pretty much say fuck you to the ones who were in large part responsible for MAKING this world.

@Hzqi Bravo! Nice way to put it! Of course anytime men bring up an issue, women are surprised and then call us whiners. This is sexist in itself...because women think men are not supposed to complaint especially to women! Seriously why are women even here making comments that do not help fix the issue? It is about men being treated badly. Anyone with commonsense can see this. If men don't feel comfortable we have the right to raise questions about this. It doesn't take anything away from women.

@landfillpoet Because self serving feminists cannot get support if they only want more for women only. So they sugar coated it with the term "equality", except they cry about equality on everything, and they alone decide if and when equality is achieved(god knows it will never be in their eyes). To add support, they would creatively invent statistics to stack against the male population so more protections and resources are going toward supporting women only! How's that for equality??

[luckybozo1]

@SecretsofShade Men wish to be men nonetheless but the meaning of men have been tarnished by those so called feminists. Look at this commercial and ask if men would ask to be treated this way?

@ThatGeekySlut Here we go again the word you have no relation to yet you act like you created it! Go back to school but of course all you get are from those so called women studies where you will never understand the term "respect".
