    I'm speechless. Targeting stupid, not sexist, is what came to my mind first. Have we really gotten them dumb?

        I agree, I do not see it as sexist...I see it as genius...in a very, sad way. They took the crazy to get more views and have people taking about it. I mean, if it works for celebs - why not?

        Sexist is the freaking Iphone commercial with the women squealing so loud they break glass. Cannot. Stand. That. One.
        Finally - we are finished with training! Hello real world!!

          It's sexist to me. They aren't doing a commercial with a bunch of dudes gawking at cars and their options, are they? No. They are a bunch of squealing women who just can't be bothered with smart discussion. Which is the pretty dress? Oooh, that settles it for me!

              We have a wingdinger up here that I can't find on youtube. The whole thing happens at a coffee shop with some middle-aged people laughing at the Brooklyn guy running for an upstate NY office. It then goes on to list his restaurant health violations (rats, etc.) No one word about political ideas, and the whole thing is in some pseudo-NY-Boston accent with really bad hair????

                I think it's a stupid ad, but I don't really see it as sexist.

                    That isn't an iphone commercial, it's a Sprint commercial. I hate it!!

                      I agree too. It's based off of the TV show, and they pretty much got that right. I think they could have just as easily parodied a stupid guy TV show, although to be fair, I'm not sure as many of those exist. Maybe they could have done Iron Chef or something else instead? Pawn Stars?

                        They're doing them nationally, just swapping out names. http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/...ell-um/113394/

                        They don't even pronounce their candidate's name right here.

                            Awful commercial...but I think more stupid than sexist. Reminds me of a movie high school commercial campaign.
