Boy Men are Stupid.

Ever notice how stupid men are in many commercials? They have no common sense at all. Fortunately they have wise wives who can set them straight. Two of the many offending advertisers come to mind. One Fidelity green-line spot features the man who stupidly left his coat in his old office. Another has a husband who asks his wife if the green line will lead to a good cheeseburger. Food seems to addle men's brains. Like the guy who tries to convince his wife that the pizza delivery man made a mess of the carpet (in commercials men are also slobs) then mistakingly leaves the DiGiorno box in the kitchen. Of course, while men are usually the dolts, some commercials make the woman the dummy, though not as many. A Xerox commercial has the staff gathered in the boardroom. The boss threatens to keep them there till they find a way so save money. A woman asks the wise male coworker, "Can they really keep us here?" Duh.
