Buy off the little Byatche with a piece of cheap jewelry from JC’s and you are out of the “Dog House”? Looks like more fun inside the dog house than with that bunch of persimmons’.

Hadsil has it right. Sexism is just fine when directed against men.

We solved this problem years ago. She buys what she wants and I buy what I want after we tell each other about it. I guess that is why we have been married 46 plus years.

The ONLY ads that don’t make men seem like simpleton dolts and women as the only intelligent creatures on earth are the Captain Morgan Rum ads… and possibly, “oh, he went to Jareds”…Sigh.

Merry Christmas to all.

I don’t like commercials that bash men any more than I like the “all you need is a piece of jewelry and she’s yours commercials.

I think any women that would rather have a useless bauble over something that would make her more productive is just shallow useless harlot.

TheSitRep on December 12, 2008 at 5:42 PM

Exactly how productive are we supposed to be to escape the “shallow useless harlot” label? Good heavens.

I happen to love jewelry, and I also love any gift my husband gives me–he’s wonderful and kind and I can’t imagine my life without him. He buys gifts that show he thinks about me, wants me happy, and cares about me. A couple years ago he gave me pearls for Christmas and a .357 magnum for my birthday. That’s love.

The average dude this ad is trying to convince to buy cheap jewelry is going to watch the 1st 15 seconds, decide it’s crap, and start looking for boobs.

Fail.

Ha Ha What a stupid ad,made for stupid people. First off the wife is an ugrateful bitch. Second she is stupid too because the vac is worth alot more than the pos diamond pendent shown in this ad. I mean c’mon who buys diamonds at JCPenny’s. Oh well she is probably facing forclosure and won’t be needing a vac anyway.

Sexism is ok as long as it’s against men.

Looks like I’m no longer shopping at JC Penny.

Rinehart came under fire earlier this month when he mailed a 16-page cartoon book as part of his re-election campaign that makes fun of gays and criticizes his political opponents. The book featured an angel who supports Rinehart and Satan, who supports his critics. It also included a gay man in a toga chasing a Boy Scout.

too funny

Wow that was sooooooooooooo frickin funny………. I crapped my pants and punched myself in the balls five times. LMAO!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO My God that is the funniest commercial EVAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I stabbed myself in the head with my fork it was soooooo frickin funny.

WOW, some people take this serious for heavens sake. Consider all the cake commercials, and the like. If you find it difficult to laugh at this you definitely have a coping problem. Humorous in my eyes where as a male I just shake my head. I thought my father wanted me to go into real estate when I was young because he kept saying get a lot while you’re young, son.

On its own, I thought it was okay. I laughed once or twice, but in light of the way men really are portrayed as a rule, I can see why you guys would be offended. As the mother of an 8 year old male, I get really tired of it, myself.

Last year my husband got me a gift certificate to a spa. I’m married to a very smart and thoughtful man. That said, I like more typically practical gifts too. I love gadgets that make my life easier or more fun. I would be a little offended if he got me a thigh master though. Of course, I have been saying I’d like one of those leg extension machines they have at the gym for a while. Ha, watch him get me one for Christmas. I will LMAO!

Wow! What an odd choice of “Denied” paperwork indeed! Fascinating pickup.

By: NashvilleRick

After reading all these replies, and with all due respect, some of these folks are taking this ad way too serious. For an ad selling jewelry, I thought it was a hoot.
My curiosity is aroused when I read, then Googled, some of the names found on the page the lady is stamping ‘Denied’ on. Stop the video at 3:56 and you’ll see what I mean. Very interesting considering all the choices of paperwork they could have used in this cute little ad.

I used to think this stuff was sexist. Until my husband got me snow tires for my 40th birthday. Used snow tires to boot.

Like I said on another thread in mistake, we love you men. Mine just went from dead-to-the-world asleep to charging downstairs to my rescue when I made a loud CRASH throwing bottles out.

As for my “Crack Pipe,” well I am quite pleased to now have such an appropriate and catchy nickname for my penis.

Um, I was referring to my crack pipe. Well, peace pipe with crack and whatever you said thrown in. To draw deeply on. Etc.

Nah, I wouldn’t get that ticked off. Trivial topics don’t require double-barrel red-assed ripostes now, do they? Anyway, this cretinous loudmouth will go back to his crack pipe now. *rolleyes*

ddrintn on December 14, 2008 at 12:54 AM

Dude, I’m not ticked off. I get a kick out of this.

Read what Sitrep wrote and explain to me how the planets and constellations would ever align him with a woman. The rest of the suckers to whom I referred…well they’re just comical.

I’d have been happy as anything with a RAM upgrade for my computer. But then again, I’m a professional computer babe.

ddrintn — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 05:54:35 +0000

I don’t know, ddrintn. I probably would get a little ticked off if someone said that I was on the other side just because they disagreed with me about a trivial topic.
