Anti-Husband Cadillac SUV Commercial

	mens_issues writes "I was watching the news this afternoon, when a commercial for the Cadillac SRX Crossover came on. It showed a few women returning from a vacation together. One of them commented on how nice it was to have a vacation with 'No stress,' and then all of them said 'No husband!' in unison. As they got out of their SUV in an upper middle class residential neighborhood, one of them then said 'Back to reality!'" Click "Read more..." for more.

	"The last comment was an obvious reference to the husbands whose very existence must cause them such unbearable stress. Oh, those poor oppressed women who had to get away from their husbands in a $37,000 SUV for a vacation. (I wonder who paid for it.) Here is a link to the homepage of this overpriced gas guzzler. There is a 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page. Yeah, I know that not all of us regularly buy $37,000 SUVs, but they need to hear from us anyway. Steve"

Reliability: Much worse than average (Score:2) by mens_issues on 09:21 PM June 14th, 2006 EST (#1) I looked up the Cadillac SRX Crossover in Consumer Reports, and it was rated "much worse than average" in reliablilty. So it's an unreliable overpriced gas guzzler. Steve

Substitute "soul" for "gas", and you've got a fantastically accurate description of an average, married, western woman! It's no surprise that they'd market this sad excuse for a vehicle to such people, when you get right down to it. They really do go nicely together, don't you think?

Re:Reliability: average condescension (Score:2) by Roy on 03:57 PM June 15th, 2006 EST (#4) The pervasive feminist arrogance and condescension against men in advertising seems so t-i-r-e-d. Why are ad agencies and the socalled "creatives" who come up with ad concepts and content so committed to misandry? I guess when they do their focus groups to test ad concepts, very few MRA's are invited. And all the ordinary "non-feminist" women endorse the anti-male offensiveness. Those spoiled concubines (soccer moms) in the commercial are a pretty accurate version of the vampire "soulmate" wives that their workaholic hubbies come home to....

It's easy (Score:1) by blaze4metal on 10:46 AM June 16th, 2006 EST (#5) The commercials put husbands/males at the butt end of the joke because all the other categories (females, blacks, etc) have the PR shield protecting them. Since the marketing hasn't evolved from bashing something (males, females, blacks, whites, etc), that's all they have to use.       Well, I can easily see their husbands stressed out because they slave 40+ hours a week on payments for that gas guzzler and the vacation.

Comic Relief (Score:1) by bull on 02:47 AM June 15th, 2006 EST (#3) Here’s a flash animation that provides therapeutic comic relief for anyone suffering from penned up frustration that this ad may have induced: Slap Dat Ho! The animation will load automatically after a brief ad. The instructions are self-explanatory. P.S. I don't advocate physical violence as an answer to relationship problems.
