modern marketing towards males: a discussion for dudes

[ssampier]

Actually I could probably rant how men and women are portrayed in the media.

I will simply say that ad people must think consumers are idiots. The worst ones are Carl's Junior, beer ads, and Axe and similar products. Of course, the commercials for ED are worse. Cialis and Viagra are just embarrassing. Enzyte are a little gross, but grandma doesn't need detail.

I haven't really noticed truck ads all that much.

The new ford ones are helmed by dennis leary, and he just rants about the size of the engine and such, which only makes me think of his old ranting standup, where he talked about beef and smoking and other male type things, so it becomes effectively one of those commercials for me.

I tend react favorably to Leary because he is a Boston local.

so they could like cut to the chase and just run shots of jiggling breasts with every product. At serious risk of political incorrectness; I'd be good with that

I don't see what topless fat guys has with marketing to women...ohhhhh...

Yeah, I'd be good with that. Hell, that advertising revolution would probably get me to buy a 3D TV. Come to think of it, 3D TVs & jigglevision ads might pave the way for global matriarchy.

I haven't seen Dennis Leary spots. I remember some older Dodge/Chrysler spots where the characters all keep asking, "Is it a Hemi?" Referring to the Hemi diesel engine option of the vehicle. More recently I vaguely remember several spots for Ford Trucks done by Mike Roe of Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch.
