Nope, I can't. I've seen far worse ads on TV and no outcry.

do you have any examples? I can't really think of any off the top of my head, but I don't even own a TV. In part so I don't have to be exposed to the crap ad that started this thread. Perhaps that explains why some think I'm overreacting? I don't see this stuff enough so I'm not desensitized?

I wasn't talking about anger in general, I was talking about your anger towards one arguably sexist TV ad that nobody really cares about.

Well I'm not really railing about one commercial so much as what it's symptomatic off. It's the idea that somebody can post it here with the attitude of "hey guys, isn't this funny?" as if their is no understanding why it might anger somebody. Not saying it was posted out of malice, but I find it depressing the communication gap going on. It's not just here, but all over. I like to think these forums are above this kind of low consciousness humor, but I should probably know better. So it's really my fault in getting overly worked up.
I forget who said it, there is a pertinent quote that says "life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel". Admittedly, I'm more of a feeler in a thinker's culture.
