  1. Recently there is a new sexist commercial from Country Style. There is a guy asking for 30 mins with a hot babe. The "babe" (pro) head falls off and she turns into a robot. I wonder if this head chop chop has anything to do with the other mint commercial where the guy in a taxi ate a mint he turned blue from freezing and HIS HEAD fell off. Dont forget this commercial came out at the same time all of the Al Qaeda beheadings which I thought was odd and synchronistic. (should be in syncro file as well)

  2. ETOWME an anachronym meaning ETHICAL TREATMENT OF WOMEN EVERYWHERE was started by me a year and a half ago (at least). I used this group to warn various companies, production companies, tv programmers, CRTC the huge problem with negative protrayl of women in commericals. Mainly joking, these commericals are not a joke. We also notice that there is also negative pychological advertising towards the disabled, which has also been addressed. A MADD commerical showing a disable man in a wheelchair being left by his gf, his gf now dating his best friend. Anyway, I noticed this and told them the negative connotations to this promotion. It showed that disabled were not "good" enough to keep a girl. It was pulled after ETOWME complaint!
