Not seeing the ads I still want to offer an opinion.
These ads may not have played in my area but I think some people need to grow a thicker skin. Our society and media seem obsessed over even the
slightest disparaging remark towards anyone in any particular group.
Sure, I don't want ads depicting anyone as stupid, wrong, lazy, degenerate, or any other derogatory term. And people will always push these limits as
far as they can.
I see a lot of advertising that represents women as being superior to men. Canadian Tire is a perfect example and anything to do with cleaning
products or scented air fresheners makes men look like fools that can't plug something into a wall.
As a society I hope we can move beyond most of the racial slurs when we classify people as Pollacks, Chinks, Niggers, Japs, Paki, Whitey, homos and
lesbos, etc....
Can't we all just get along ?
Sadly, that's not the case at this point in our history.
