Male-positive "Mr. Opportunity" Commercial by Honda

I wanted to point out a male-positive commercial by Honda called "Mr. Opportunity". This has been running for the past few years, but I find it's a much better portrayal of a man than a lot of commercials out there.

You may or may not remember the Super Bowl commercials back in 2004, one of which was a Honda Pilot commercial "Run With the Wolves" in which a woman is married to a man who was "raised by wolves." It showed the husband looking all disheveled while licking a plate like a dog, drinking straight from the water cooler at work, and chasing a Frisbee (thrown by his son) into a stream. The commercial is here.

I posted about it at Mensactivism.org shortly after it aired. There was a letter writing campaign that followed this ad, and it would be nice to think that Honda's new Mr. Opportunity ads came about as a result of this protest.

Just to show that activism sometimes can work for us.
