6/19 How do you guys like the new Ford commercial featuring Taylor Hicks?
Sexy? Bold? Makes you want to buy a Ford? FORD. BOLD. Yeah baby.
\_ Dropping 25k jobs here to dump $9.2B into 150k jobs at 3 plants
in Mexico: BOLD.
\_ The one where the woman pays for the guy's drycleaning and passes
along her business card make me think "chemically imbalanced" not
along her business card makes me think "chemically imbalanced" not
"bold."
\_ You prefer your women demure and stupid, giggling in the corner
with the rest of their friends waiting, oh just hoping beyond
hope that *you* will come by and save them from the solitary
life of old maid?
\_ Your entire experience of women consists of only two classes,
those who make passes at random guys they've only seen through
their rear-view mirrors and those who are demure and stupid?
Shutdown the computer and go outside. Now.
\_ Not at all. Does your entire experience of people consist
of the flip 3 line comments from the motd? "Shutdown the
computer and go outside. Now."
\_ You're either a misgynist troll or you need to be more
clear in your writing. Either way, some time away from
the computer would certainly improve your condition.
Just remember to use sunscreen to protect your pale
skin.
\_ How is being an admirer of aggresive women make
one misogynist? I really can't wrap my head around
that kind of thinking that would make you come up
with that assessment. Btw, giving a guy your number
is not the same as "making a pass at." -!op
\_ Reply poster seemed to posit that woman come in
only two flavors: those who give their phone
numbers to random guys on the basis of how they
look in a rear-view mirror, or those who are
demure and stupid. How is this not misogynist?
\_ How about you ask? Poster was saying that
there is nothing "mental" about an aggressive
woman. In fact, if it was the other way around
we wouldn't call the guy aggressive, so why do
we say she's chemically imbalanced and
aggressive but he wouldn't be? Not only is the
poster not misogynist but some reading comp.
would show the opposite and Mr. "She's
Chemically Imbalanced" is the one with the
woman-hating issue here. The "get some sun"
comments are just stupid. You're posting to
the motd all day long from your cube.
\_ Mostly because Reply poster didn't bother
asking before assuming that I was saying
that any bold woman is chemically
imbalanced. If poster had asked, I would
have gladly explained that it's the act of
tossing your number out to any stranger on
the basis of one glance in the rear-view
mirror that strikes me as chemically
imbalanced, no matter which gender. Oh,
that and the idea that you get your bold
qualities from a car. Instead, assumptions
were made, and from there to facile
motdery.
\_ Ok. So we're back at step 1. The woman
was hitting on the guy based on his looks
in the rear view. What is different
between that and meeting him in a bar and
giving him her number? If he did the
same thing (paying for her dry cleaning,
etc) would you say he was chemically
imbalanced? Probably not which is what
I was getting at. Please correct me if
you think just as poorly of guys doing
the same thing. As far as getting your
qualities from your car goes, I didn't
even realise it was a car commercial. :)
\_ Honestly, if it was a guy doing this,
I'd immediately think he was kinda
sleazy, but that's because I'm an
utter cynic. And you didn't realize
this was a car commercial??? OMG. :)
\_ I auto tune out most commercials.
I got the 'plot' on this one, but
not the product, which is normal
for me. Mostly I was thinking how
cool it would be if someone paid
for my dry cleaning. :)
\_ Now, see, I would love it if
that were the point of the
commercial. |
