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:

Thank the Gods this sexist commercial got banned.

[DontShakeItUp]

If a stupid, subordinate husband is your idea of "equality".

[Chameleonardodavinci]

Commercials are never sexist towards woman, not since the late 80s. It fucking irks me to hear people complain about something that is, in truth, the opposite of what you believe it to be

I hope you ladies appreciate how much a lot of us MEN bottle up our emotions to take a joke. Had there been a series of commercials that ridicule women, heaven forbid the feminists find out.

That was freaky, she was like "leave her alone" like he was some rapist. When he was just trying to help his kid with her school stuff.

If I were that man, i would've dragged the wife by her hair in another room and slapped her hard across the face and told her the next time she ridicules and degrades me in front of my daughter, it will be a closed fist!!!!!!

Being told off bluntly by the wife to leave your child alone then being shouted at like a child is one thing; but your own daughter giving the mother the look that read 'mom, make dad go away, he's really bothering me' that's what bothers me the most.And I don't mean to make a stereotypical statement but I would have expected better from Hispanic wives in opposition to Caucasian wives (the wife and daughter looks brown to me, please disregard any racial feelings) No Husband/Father deserves that.

He's fascinated by the computer. Seriously? This riled people up so much they got a campaign to have it pulled? And yet, the Simpsons is still going strong...

[shdwofhanzo]

Ha I had a long pause from my grin at socio-political studies at this.. but it is how it is and so if you dont accept it you are "losers" and "pathetic".

Thanks slaky easy & well put. The whining pig men are obviously single and for good reason. Dk & peace don't belong on the planet. Go ahead and leave now.
