    And I think what you meant is that you need a challenged victim... someone more in line with your skillset.

    Tell ya what, you practice your virtual mind magic on someone who finds that interesting, and next time I'll just keep my opinions to myself, so you don't have to deplete your mental faculties on such a meager "victim" as myself, mkay?

    We are of a different mind then. Most men I've been around do NOT exhibit such behavior and we don't need to be lectured about it. Mind you, I'm not offended by the ad, just think its not a good way to sell your razors to men.

    You can not tell me what to do. My existence is my own, and I live it as I choose, as I am the god of my universe.

    Just forget everything I have written.

    I'm pretty sure you're drunk. Maybe high. Probably high, actually.

    Enjoy your afternoon!

    I wasn't listening in the first place.

    I think most men exhibit poor behavior. I don't know that most men exhibit the behavior in the ad. Maybe they do. I think a lot do.

    I'd agree with you that decent men don't need to be lectured about it. Speaking personally, I didn't feel as though the ad was speaking to me.

    Mind you, I'm not offended by the ad, just think its not a good way to sell your razors to men.
    Couldn't agree more. I wasn't offended, and it's not a good way to sell razors.

    Again, I just didn't see the ANTI-MALE angle that was suggested by the OP and the thread title. It's not ANTI-MALE. The ad didn't say, "ALL YOU MEN - YOU SUCK. CUT OFF YOUR BALLS AND BOW BEFORE WOMEN". I mean, unless I missed that. Maybe UWDUDE used some mind-magic on me and I missed it. :shrug:

    I suppose when one holds a sixth grade schoolyard bully cum POTUS as one's hero, we can't expect much better. Sad state of affairs overall.

    And please do not keep your opinions to yourself. Even on those occasions when I disagree your opinion, unlike those of some around here, yours is always worth the effort to read and digest.

    The ad was, of course, disgusting.

    And if there is any doubt where they are coming from (and there isn't), why do you think included they two clips from The Young Turks? Is it just random that they included the farthest left-wing crackpot show which promotes the idea that (white) men are a cancer and every other group should be given special treatment?

    I'm offended that you EVAR disagree with me! RABBLE RABBLE!

    Thank you sir. Yours is among the diminishing number of voices for which I ever bother to visit this site anymore, infrequently as it is at this point.

    The ad was just really weird.

    Don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

    Having The Young Turks clip in there was a nice touch.

    Is anyone still doubting the anti-male "agenda" at this point?

    It has nothing to do with male. I did not say beta-male.

    However, don't think that means you are not inferior to me.
    you are.

    Does somebody who never looks both ways before crossing the street, deserve to be run over by a semi, mushed within it's tires?

    You and the 50 other people in the country who watch TYT caught that. I had to go back and re-watch the ad after you pointed it out, myself, and I consider myself to be unfortunately more aware of pop-media like TYT than even the above-average news consumer.

    I'm not sure why I'm staying in the pocket in this thread, but I didn't see advocacy for special treatment for "every other group" in this ad. There were black and white men in the ad, on both sides of the subject material.

    There is no doubt that there is a subplot to MOST modern media these days where men are portrayed not only as predators, but as a group in need of heeling. As I watch this ad, there's no question they dance around that subject matter, but I think they do a good job of keeping it impartial in terms of race, and also within the bounds of concerns which all decent people should have - again, namely objectification of women, bullying and brawling.

    I've asked before, please point out what I'm missing here... and again, within the context of this particular ad.

    The only way I think myself inferior to you is in scale of hubris and absurdity.

    Perhaps also in terms of slam poetry...

    Guess what that makes me?

    Single.

    You want to know who women are $#@!ing? Guys with face tats. Guys who beat their girlfriends. Guys who don't give a $#@! about them, or really anything for that matter. Why? Because the same people who made that ad are out there telling women to empower themselves. You don't need a guy who is kind, loyal and committed to raise your family. You can do that on your own. So just go out and $#@! all of the complete losers, get them on child support and pick up welfare from the government. Or find some wealthy sociopath who owns a helicopter..

    Don't you see the mixed signals? That ad is a $#@!ing joke. If women really wanted men to behave better, they would $#@! guys who were well behaved. Instead, they talk about how they want guys to act, then end up $#@!ing the exact opposite. Guess what that produces? First, they take the DNA from these douchebags and insert them into their children. Second, they take guys who would otherwise be normal dudes and turn them into douchebags because that is how they can get laid.

    But hey, keep blaming this all on "men" and let's see how far you get with that. Let's keep making ads telling men to behave better, let's see how their lives improve.. LOL.. sorry, but you are really clueless
    I say this out of a need for it to be said.
    Culture may have some small impact on why you have no girlfriend.
    You are very wrong about what women want. Women only go for those kind of guys because they are the only ones aggressive enough to pursue them, which tend to be the kind of men that give no thought to the morning after.

    But I'd bet 55,160 posts on this board is a much bigger reason.

    Using #MeToo 3 seconds in? But just the left wing politics alone are offensive, I have a better commercial that addresses bad male behavior and is an actual real problem, not the phony epidemic of rape culture. 72% of black kids are born without married fathers. Maybe ask "Is that the best a man can get?" and show a black guy with pants hanging down who barely speaks English. That is an actual real problem, not kids wrestling in the grass. And instead of Young Turks have Alex Jones in the ad. My guess is most people would think that is bad idea because it is divisive just like the commercial Gilette ran is divisive.

    Businesses should perform the only social responsibility they have, which is to make money for their shareholders and avoid being woke and going broke.

That is why, in my book Capitalism and Freedom, I have called it a "fundamentally subversive doctrine" in a free society, and have said that insuch a society, "there is one and only one social responsibility of business--to use its resourcesand engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud."

    It isn't their place to lecture anyone about anything and jumping on the current liberal bandwagon of man hate is just plain stupid for a company that sells its product primarily to men.

    Well it's raining here, but it never rains here.

    Assuming you work at least 40 hours/week indoors like I do, I would bet I spend more time outside than you. I have a job that is highly conducive to posting on forums and getting work done at the same time. I also post at night some times instead of watching tv or movies or playing video games like most people.

    I had a gf who I lived with for about 3 years. She was a Ron Paul supporter.. the only female Ron Paul supporter I ever met outside of meetups. Unfortunately she was also bi-polar, not very stable. Didn't work out.

    Sorry folks, this was nothing more than a miscommunication. The marketing department did a focus group with men to determine what would be a good public service campaign. Through the various levels of management, bureaucracy and autocorrect software, the message changed from what was originally directed.

    The original message was: “As this is an important issue for men, our public service campaign will strive to publicize awareness for men to check their prostate.”

    The message as received at the writing and video production department: “Men have issues, so as a public service campaign, we must publicize that men must check and prostrate themselves.”
