Smart Mom/Wife-Dumb Dad/Husband commercials

I wish to nominate 2 more businesses for the boycott list.

Vonnage Phone Service: In the commercial, the "Smart Wife" is describing how easy it was to hook up and use the Vonnage system with her computer. Throughout the time, her husband (who is a rotund and rather ridiculous looking "tell-a-tubby" sort) is attempting to do the Michael Jackson Moon Walk. During the "Smart Wife's" description of how easily she connected to Vonnage, she looks over her shoulder at the antics and gives a look indicating that she is indeed a long suffering individual married to a complete idiot.

Home Depot: In one of their recent commercials, the "Smart Wife" talks about the "3 Reasons I'm Heading to the Home Depot this weekend". The reasons include her 3 year old drawing on the wall with crayons and then comparing her husband to the 3-year-old for having put numerous holes in the wall in an effort to hang pictures.

Both of these moronic/misandric companies can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

I never fell for the Vonnage Phone Service pitch and have never done business with them and will never do so since they are misandric. And as for Home Depot, their stock is practically in the toilet and there is a Lowe's almost next door to them in my neighborhood. Guess who gets my business?

Hey, that was easy!

Ditto. Stride Gum, Pepto Bismol, and Coors Light can all go to hell too. I'm never buying their products, nor any of their parent company's products either.

Wow, with Home-Depot already "on the ropes" economically speaking, you'd think they'd take more care in the content of the advertisements. Best of luck to Home-Depot as they continue alienating their core customer base (middle age white males). May they reap the rewards they so richly deserve.

In my house the wife puts holes in the wall trying to hang pictures.
Does she take measurements? Nooooo......
She'd rather punch 10 holes in the wall and then cover them up when she finally gets one she likes.

Funny how every company in trouble panders to women in an anti-male way. This approach has been promoted by feminists of course.

I don't think the strategy works. For it to work, the company in question would have to attract more women than the men they repel.
