What Kind of Ad Would You Like?

Do you believe there’s still a double standard in how men and women are perceived? Apparently some people do. This ad was shown online in the Philippines for a local audience, but when millions of people watched it, Procter and Gamble started showing it in the U.S.

I personally can’t relate to the woman in the ad — I would prefer to see ads extolling the joys of being a geek. But I doubt very much that I will ever see one. Is there any kind of ad you would like to see?

    An ad that will tell me in simple terms, what the product will do. how much it will cost and where it is available.

      The food ads don’t tell you what harm it will do. The medicine ones have to tell you now. The last warning is sometimes-death.

      Lots of luck, Rummuser. I’m afraid your chances aren’t much better than my own.

      BHB,
      At least the Center for Science in the Public Interest has gotten food companies to put more information on labels. And we can look up the weird ingredients to see how bad they are. It’s ot better than nothing.

    One for free means to develop a sustainable way of living.

  3. Cathy in NZ says:

    simple and true – not photoshopped and absolutely unattainable to the average person

    most of the ad seems to relate to beauty as well, everyone looks relatively beautiful…

    advertising has not remotely related to me since about 1964! i was a teenager.
    in another lifetime. in another galaxy far far away.
    i wish JUST ONCE they would do a lovely happy ad about a simple older woman with short silver thin hair that is enjoying life wearing casual comfortable clothes and shoes and is not vamping for the camera.
    i’ve never liked labels. so will refrain from “type” but . . .
    well. wait! maybe i am a type. a little old lady who is invisible.
    and yet invisibility has its benefits! LOLOL.
    and NO. thank you. but the coy silver hairs that are in the viagra commercials don’t count.
