Yesterday was the Super Bowl and this morning we talked about how we all agreed the commercials weren’t up to par to previous years. There were some good ads, like the one with Betty White, but they didn’t live up to the Super Bowl hype. Regardless of the quality, they were the reason 51% of all Super Bowl watchers tuned in (we came across that stat recently). I’m thinking that most of that 51% that watch the Super Bowl for the commercials are women.

A lady named Helen called in to tell me that she thought I was a misogynistic, homophobic pig because of what I said. Helen said that I made it sound like women could not enjoy the Super Bowl without a stupid commercial. What Helen needs to realize is that many of the commercials were obviously made to be more appealing to women! This year there were ads with men in their underwear, men getting slapped by a child, and so on. These commercials were made specifically for women because they love to watch other people look like idiots! The men are always made to look like fools in these commercials, and the ad with a man getting slapped by a little boy who was defending his mother is a perfect example. Women find it endearing to have someone fight for them, especially a child.

As men, we do not enjoy watching other men running around in their tighty whities! These commercials were not made for us in mind; the football game is what we want to watch in the first place. Women need to stop thinking they are holier then thou and admit that they love watching others humiliate themselves!
