Subtle Male Bashing in a Commercial

Anon User writes "I am sorry that I can not be specific about the product of this commercial. I can not remember the product due to the overriding message that it exudes about males' ineptness about what is under the hood of a car.

There is one white male looking under the hood of a car for a dip stick. He takes some time to look and appears puzzled. Then a black male comes to help him look for the dip stick and he can not find it either. He also appears puzzled. Then a white female is seen standing on the side of the car. She says something such as, "Have you found it yet?".

I am a female and I thought this was a bit too much....

Commercials present all types in a subtle to profound negative light. I wonder who writes the commercials and are they sensitive to their audience. If you have ever been discriminated against and,in essence, did not have the power or the forum to fight back, you would scrutinize almost every thing seen with a fine tooth comb."
