( . )( . ) I've seen ya on here a bunch....just had to mention that my old pager code used to be 80085.....BOOBS!!!!
Those commercials are way too funny....
And Rollo the reason that American ad agencies don't cater to men the way European or Asian agencies do is because our economy is feminine based......
Strange to think about but it's true....Women spend more time shopping and buy more things then men. Women usually dictate what they want men to buy them. Look at the silly holiday that is coming up.....it caters to this....guys HAVE to buy girls something, not 2 lovers buying each other something.
Check out what the retail industry is predicting this year
Valentine's Day Retail Forecast
The average male plans to spend $135.67.
The average female plans to spend $68.64.
Men are expected to spend twice as much....I thought this holiday was about lovers....2 people.....why does the guy have to put in all the work here it's quite a sham. From a pocket book perspective......
Ad agencies have caught on to this big time in the states. That's why you always see ads where the male has to buy something for or do something for a female.....This also helps lead to mass AFC behavior as we all know. These agencies have made it so you HAVE to buy something to get a lover, be happy, etc...
In no way am I'm I trying to sound AFC here as we men are supposed to be the care takers, providers, etc. I'm thinking more about LTR's and not for those who are just dating.
I had a discussion about this with one of my roommates who is a chick ( the other is her BF/ my homy these 2 are almost married,sort of) and she "expects" him to buy flowers and dinner and all that but isn't going to spend **** on him. I was like wtf? She said "thats just the way it is"
Eddie Murphy said it best .
I've had my share of *****. I have yet...Even if the ***** was great
and sparks shot out the woman's ass
and cannons blared
and the mountains crumbled
and the seas roared,
no ***** is worth $?
No *****.
I'd like to meet some ***** like that.
Put the **** on layaway.
These agencies have implanted a very bad little AFC seed in every man and women out there. Some of us have thrown that seed out the window but most haven't . So we will continue to see stupid crap on TV and on the radio or newspapers that cater to men doing all kinds of things to get women, instead of acting like men.
