Men and women are both made to look horrible and stupid throughout media.
I can't tell here whether there was a sarcastic or parodying intent because I don't have sound! But I'll agree that it looks to create a bad image of men, and as missing said, not such a hot one of women either.
What can we do about these idiotic commercials? I particualrly hate the ones for Axe products. I imagine guys are feeling similarly about this spot.
One the one hand I can lighten up and have a laugh, on the other this type of crap is so pervasive that you have to wonder if it's not a major contributing factor to the continuing division between men and women and the ongoing stereotypes that I think many of us would like to see banished already.
