Sacks must really want women to not like him. Read his post here and you decide.
We've done several protests over anti-male advertising, and when we do them I inevitably get letters from a few people who say "Commercials aren't making only men look stupid--what about the 'dumb blond' commercials"?
As a whole I don't buy this argument--women are portrayed far better than men in advertising in general--but on occasion these people have a point. The Mercedes ad above, which is quite funny, is one example.(LINK - published 12/18/08 @ www.glennsacks.com)
Luckily, there is one woman who I must say is a hero to all feminists. Lisa KS posts this:

Spoken by someone whose entire interaction with young attractive blonds in any number has obviously consisted solely of drooling over them from a distance. Eye. Roll. :)

Glenn--so are you putting up the above commercial as an example of there being nothing wrong with poking good-natured fun at women, or are you putting it up as an example of woman-bashing? I thought you meant it as the latter, but if you meant it as the former, sorry I got you wrong!
Well she gave him an out anyway. She has more patience with him (and his followers) than I do.
Link to Lisa KS blog - enjoy reading she is very edgy :-) She is also one of Glenn's Dissident article wroters and she makes some excellent points on both sites as well as has some fun along the way. Of course she seems to obviously not be one of those who stands to lose should one of the more psycho of Glenn's followers discover her location.

Oh yeah -- Glenn *would* think it "quite funny"....he could never get a date with anyone in high school -- blonde, brunette, redhead, purple, polka-dotted.....he was never given the time of day by ANY woman in high school -- can we say ...born L-O-S-E-R..... So it is no surprise that eh thinks this is "quite funny".....
