Chunky Husband/ Mentally Superior Wife

[malbowski13]

I've about had it with the numerous shit-coms involving this subject and commercials selling products as well. I thought that things are supposed to equal. Just once, I'd love to see a woman having a problem and then having the husband coming in and being all smart-ass.

Actually, they still have commercials where there's a women know-it-all character that makes people cringe or look at her like she's insane. The ones in a big white room where a fast-talking woman is always harassing people about some kind of insurance.

And they still have commercials with clueless-looking women. Something strange will happen and they open their eyes as wide as they can and look around stunned. One of them was the pizza commercial where she takes a plate out of the microwave and a hand punches through the wall.

And there's commercials where the woman doesn't say anything at all. Or she only says one thing. Like the hotel commercial where the husband is talking to the wife but she can't hear him because someone is drilling outside the door. He's got all the ideas and she's just saying with her eyes - "what do you want me to do about it?"

Women usually control household budgets, and make most of the minor purchases. Unless you are marketing your laundry detergent to single men, your best bet is to win over the woman, who decides which brand the family will use.

On the other hand, think of something like HDTVs. Men are the ones who want the biggest fucking screen, with the best audio-system in the world. Women will be content with the regular old 21 inch, mono SDTV.

SUVs were a fucking goldmine because they have features both men, and women found appealing. You can picture yourself looking cool, and rugged riding around in a 35K SUV. You can also take the kids to soccer practice in it, plus it's monster size makes you seem thinner too, even after pushing the three little mistakes you have to chauffeur around in the damn thing, out of your twat. High gas prices have kind of ruined that gender neutral cash cow now.

Sitcoms are aimed more towards women too because they can't decide what to buy, if they aren't watching TV. If you think about it, a wife can get her husband to watch her favorite crap on a regular basis, but lets see him get her to watch wrestling, or Adult Swim, or read comics, or play GTA. If she ain't into it, she ain't into it; if he ain't into it, he'll probably tolerate it, or fall asleep. Whatever as long as someone in the household is watching the commercials, and taking notes on which crappy products they are supposed to be buying.

All valid points.

Excellent point, as usual - Lowkey.
