i haven't played the game, so i can't speak to the manner in which it's played...but i would suggest that "sexist" might be the wrong description for what's being portrayed here.

the reason i say that is because there are two characters in the commercial portrayed as female; one of whom is "cogitating", while the other thinks about "sparkly balls".

because the "-ism" in this ad is not as much directed at women generally as it is towards just the one character, i would suggest instead that, if anything, "blonde-ism" is what's at play in this circumstance.

all that said, i did recently make the acquaintance of someone who absolutely epitomizes the ad, which is why "sparkly balls, sparkly balls, i've got sparkly balls" makes me chuckle every time i hear it.

A couple days late, but since hijacking is permissible on this thread and I see we're doing videos now, I guess I'll just plop this here.

It's a parody, Kinkly. It's not to be taken seriously.

Of course it is wrong to try to make an effeminate son masculine. And to me, it's that ridiculous sexist attitude that the video was actually poking fun at. And I definitely know that attitude all too well. I'm sure my own parents would like to have hired that woman as a consultant.

i thought that was very funny 'this is also great for the prancer'. 'Well, vampires are flashy dressers but it is all in aid of seducing a woman'. Very funny and well done.

I thought it was rather humorous also  :laugh:

But I can see were if someone didn't know it was a parody, they might feel offended.
They do make it seem like a real news channel

I'm always astounded when my professors seriously tell us not to use the Onion as a source...it's happened more than once...in fact, in one course last semester, we devoted an entire day to parody because apparently, some people don't know what it is.

PS...I want some cold remedies!  Who's got 'em?

Regarding cold remedies, ever try turning on the furnace. It has been known to get rid of the cold.

Take plenty of vitamin C, and get lots of rest too. You should get better in about a week  :D

pseudoephedrine. Best stuff for it.

Failing that pop some paracetomol, some ibuprofin and use a nasal spray like octravin and you will feel almost ok.

I had been taking the ol' pseudophedrine, but I think I perhaps had a mild flu or something.  I feel pretty awesome now, though.  wOOt!  Still sneezing and dealing with the nose stuff, but at least I'm not fatigued and exhausted anymore!
