Not a lot of love for Chevy’s ‘perfect man’
Posted in: Uncategorized
People get pretty fired up about a topless guy doing housework. Chevrolet’s ad for the 2009 Traverse shows a “perfect man” ironing his mate’s dress while planning their six-month anniversary dinner. I found it pretty vanilla, but the spot seems to have raised hackles on both sides of the gender divide. MSNBC’s Allison Linn says it’s “tacky, nonsensical and weirdly evocative of pornography.” Todd at the Iced Tea & Sarcasm blog thinks it’s a blatant ripoff of the (quite safe for work) book Porn for Women. And a commenter named Lunchbox420 on the unofficial Opie and Anthony forums believes the “Chevrolet Traverse Homo Commercial” is just another example of Madison Avenue “emasculating the American white man.” Maybe Chevy should have avoided controversy altogether by showing the perfect man as a dancing robotic alcohol dispenser.

‘90210’ pool billboard upsets Brooklyn Jews
Posted in: Uncategorized
In addition to plausibilty, teen drama 90210 has violated Hasidic Jewish law with a billboard showing mixed company lounging around an oddly shaped pool. Unlike the Parent Television Council, United Jewish Organization president Rabbi David Niederman isn’t worried about threesomes. Instead, he says the billboard offends merely because “having men and women swimming together is … not permissible, even if they are fully clothed,” which is why he’s protesting its placement facing his Brooklyn community. We’d love to ask him why he’s getting bent out of shape over something that’s tame by contemporary ad standards. But actually, we’d rather know what percentage of his community goes swimming fully clothed. Via Jossip.
