Rolling 'this is sexist' thread

i suppose it's not that sexy is sometimes part of the narrative for attractive women athletes, it's that it's almost never not part of the narrative. beckham, i assume they focus on it sometimes but other times not at all.

i dunno how to even parse this dr. pepper thing. it seems like it's satirizing the "man food" approach like in those burger king ads or whatnot while still conveying the same message? those bk ads seemed self-parodying anyway so how do you clown a clown? the "it's not for women" approach only makes me more aware that diet sodas are considered unmanly and that objectively there's no difference between dr. pepper 10 and a tab or whatever in regards to soft-drink genderedness.

i don't how many layers of irony or mock irony you need to pack your message in but i'll willingly drink a diet soda w/out fear of developing an auxiliary vagina so that's probably too many unnecessary layers right there.

why is elmer fudd doing the deed here?

- Worthington has returned to television advertising with a new campaign that ditches comedian Harry Enfield in favour of 'real lads' exploits.

The commercial aims to make Worthington the 'lads beer for the 90s'. To achieve this Worthington has chosen a laddish creative treatment that pokes fun at men who engage in unladdish activities.

Created by agency WCRS, the ad start by posing a question about laddish behaviour. The narrator asks: 'why do lads always take the mickey?' In answering the question, the commercial then enters a surreal world where we see what would happen if lads didn't take the mickey: they would compliment each other on their appearance and, as a consequence, become interested in hand cream. This would have the disastrous result of smoothing the lads' palms to such a degree that their pint glasses slip straight through and smash on the floor.

The ad closes with the tag line "Worthington. It's a Man Thing'. The campaign was written by WCRS creatives Andy Brittain and Yu Kung and was director by Traktor.

According to WCRS account director Jonathan Rigby: "Our objective is clear - to make Worthington the lads beer brand for the 90s. The campaign marks a welcome return to classic beer advertising - simple, well observed and infectiously funny."

feel like the Yorkie ads might have 'worked', as much as they're cretinous, but Worthington just seems desperate and reaching

"Yorkie" sounds like such a girl thing though.

Is that part of the joke?

No. Don't know why they were called Yorkie though, because Yorkshiremen are all like tough and rugged, 'appen?

"David Beckham sexiness narrative"

I'll do the libretto for this opera fyi

Speaking of Danica Patrick...

^^Was just coming to post that.

ha

asshole

Also the idea of a manly candy bar is hilarious to me and I've bought Yorkies specifically because of their stupid marketing campaign.

Which is probably what they wanted all along but whatever.

yorkies are pretty good but they could have used smaller gauge nail chunks, also motor oil that wasn't loaded with transfats

the idea of a manly candy bar is hilarious to me

If you think that's stupid, try this...

Are they still using that slogan?

...

I really don't understand society sometimes

"You'll never put a better bit of butter on your wife"

^ old joke that will make no sense to anyone outside the UK

Arr, that be Cuntry Loife buttr.

i think we need a thread of this stuff

".. and the ladies that love them!"

(soz)

To be fair, those really only have one use.

(xpost)

brands for MENS

we had the dockers thread didn't we

marketing of masculinity

I approve of this manly spinoff tho

i conceived of the brands for mens thread as specifically for products that are trying to convince men that theyre not fags for using them while being no different than the stuff girls like eg coke zero/diet coke is how i break it down to an extent

although diet coke does have more caffeine than coke zero, factoid

^^ both disgusting imo

I swear I started a thread about those Men kleenex once.

Oh I didn't but I posted about them here:
marketing of masculinity

They're hysterical. Slogan might as well have been: Because you're too old to still be using your sock.

or using some godawful hankerchief and putting it in your pocket full of snot

pretty sure it's just for wanking

real men just let the jizz dry and peel it off later, or maybe not at all

the layers of dried jizz make your dick look... aah nevermind

cigar box

*shudders*

TOO FAR GUYS, TOO FAR

'this is sexist' ? they say it's part of the game uhuhuhu

Yeah, there is a really stupid part of the gaming community that insists trash talk is normal and sometimes even necessary, and that anything goes.

riiiiiiight

wtf at that, really

"necessary" !

'this is sexist' ?

yes

Kind of laughing at StarCraft 2 as a comparative point of positivity, in that there are still a bunch of morons who think launching into sexuality-based insults or racial slurs at the beginning of a game is funny. Not all that many, but it happens.

I'm stumbling at the concept of a streaming internet show where you watch people play video games.

aaand even more:

Is this sexist?

"
"'Tokyo' is the story of a man who loses interest in his wife and fantasizes about leaving her. His loss of interest is not merely a reflection of his feelings, but rather his unwillingness to grow old and the challenge age puts to his ego. His experience illuminates our societal obsession with youth culture and our ingrained fear of aging and loss of power. We value women only in the virgin ideal, often because they are thought to be conquerable and and a vessel for validating dominance. We would prefer to live in the fantasy of young skin rather than face our growth and relinquish control to our inevitable death.
