Men Fight Back Over Sexist TV Adverts

An Anonymous User sent in this link from the UK Observer. It's an encouraging testimony to the effect we're having on the advertising industry. "Figures to be released this week by the Advertising Standards Authority show that the number of complaints has doubled this year. Over the last six years protests have increased tenfold. Men say they are fed up being depicted either as sex gods with unfeasibly muscular bodies and chiselled jaws or - more often - as incompetent, brow-beaten slobs who cannot express themselves, hold down a job, clean the house, or keep a girlfriend."
