Big Brothers Big Sisters Agency: Men in Need (YouTube)

Submitted by WakeUp on Thu, 2008-08-14 16:39

Here is a Big Brothers Big Sisters Agency recruitment ad targeted to men which starts off portraying masculinity as stupid and foolish, but then says that boys need a positive adult male role model. The second point is good, but they portray men as idiots as their first point. I used to have a big brother from the agency when I was a kid! He said when I'm older I should volunteer. But after seeing that ad I doubt I will now that I know they are bashing the same men they expect to be role models to young boys.

Here is another reason why I won't volunteer.

You're incorrect, the commercial never suggests boys need a good role model. The commercials suggests that the grown men need the guidance and wisdom of the children.

WTF was that??

Men need little boys to teach them wisdom? Just more man bashing using boys against men.

Clearly, they are not looking for mentors for little boys.

That is one of the stupidest ads I've ever seen and I wouldn't work for such an obviously misandrist organization like that if they paid me big money. I feel sorry for the little boys who are looking for good male role models, male role models who are being driven away by the grossly stupid misandry BBBS seems dedicated to foist on the public.
