Here is a great commercial:
Despite the digs at “men who smells like ladies” (ladies who wear perfume? body wash for ladies? so in other words, I don’t smell like a lady) I still laugh every time.
I’ve had some more thoughts and discussions regarding that upcoming Focus on the Family Superbowl ad. I thought more about how I don’t want to fan the fire of this controversy, and make publicity worth the $2.7 million spent on the ad in the first place. I thought about the dozens of emails I’ve gotten asking me to sign a petition or send an email asking CBS to remain consistent in choosing not to air advocacy ads – and how few I’ve acted upon (and why). I thought more in relation to disability studies – about what it means to say “don’t abort, your at-risk pregnancy could work out perfectly and he might even be famous!” Meanwhile, I thought about how many ads I’m offended by regularly – and how many I may be offended by during the Superbowl. These ads tend to make me angry, just like the FotF one probably will. And then I thought about how being pro-choice means I don’t have a problem with what Pam Tebow chose to do – keep her baby.
But all I really want to do is link to this wonderful video, that articulates all these different points in a simplistic and clear way – Trust Women.
