Red Lobster Ad Portrays Men as Buffoons

Bledso writes "This is yet another classic example of the male buffoon advertising style that plagues us. The Red Lobster commercial can be viewed here. There is also a nauseating writeup that sings its praises here. Some guy acts like a fool as his significant other, not surprisingly, rolls her eyes with disgust. Same old nonsense. Although I'm not a fan of this type of "buffoon" advertising, if they are going to use it, they should at least be "inclusive" and allow women to join men and be free of their "state of invisibility" with regard to idiot characterizations. I hear no cry for equal representation in this arena."
