Positive news for a change: Men count!

This story on the Sydney Morning Herald caught my eye this morning, with the headline "Bedroom ad ruled offensive to men". Quote:

'The Advanced Medical Institute (AMI) has been forced to pull a television commercial for longer lasting sex because it "vilified and shamed" men.

But the AMI says it is appealing the "bizarre" ruling on the advertisement, which features former A Country Practice police officer Sergeant Frank Gilroy entering a couple's bedroom after what is perceived to be a rather short love-making session.
...
"The ruling from the ASB says this ad is discriminating against and vilifying men who are suffering serious health problems such as premature ejaculation," he said.

"Of course they're serious problems - these are the very men we're trying to reach with this ad.

"It wouldn't be very effective advertising if we were upsetting the very people we're trying to talk to about available help, so we're planning on appealing this bizarre decision."

Mr Vaisman says the AMI will cooperate with the ASB and remove the ads while an appeal is conducted.'

I know we get bombarded by bad news, but lets celebrate the good when it comes along. Anecdotally, I've been seeing far less of the man-bashing ads on TV, my gut tells me that the advertisers are at least starting to get it - and maybe everyone else is too...
