Commercials

Two commercials are blog-worthy.

The first one pisses me off in oh so many ways. It's a KFC commercial. Dad and two kids sitting around the dinner table waiting to be served, and the mom walks in carrying a bucket from KFC. All three ungrateful wretches lean forward, and sit back completely devastated. "I wanted Original Recipe" "I wanted Popcorn Chicken", etc. Does the mom bitch slap them for treating her like a freakin' servant? No. She coddles their stupidity by reaching to the middle of the table and turning the bucket so what they want is now facing them! It's this whole 3-in-1 bucket, and they all complained cuz what they wanted was in front of another person. How fucking lazy can you get!!!! Just reach an inch or so farther... Not only was I offended at the first part of the commercial when they are treating mom like shit (and, btw, mom was a little offensive too -- serving her family trash like that), but then she accepted and encouraged their behavior. I couldn't decide who to hate more: the lazy, ungrateful, stupid family or the mom for coddling the fat retarded fools.

Now the next one is worth mentioning just for Vincent. (He always complains about how men are portrayed as stupid.) Well, dollface, you're in for a treat! This is a commercial with a dad we can all relate to.

It starts out with Dad holding a cup of coffee, looking out the window at the snow packed wintry day. Mom enters the scene, looks outside to see their two kids shoveling. She asks about it, and Dad tells her, 'I told them if they shoveled they could talk to their friends as much as they wanted on their new cell phones.' (I paraphrased) Mom is confused, and says 'Can't they already? Didn't you get In?' He says, in a true dad way, 'Yeah, but they don't know that.' Mom says 'Looks cold out there.' Dad agrees saying 'Yeah, I'm not going out there.'
I'm already laughing and cheering 'Go Dad!' during the details part of the commercial, but then...
They go back to where the parents are watching their kids, and Dad takes a sip of his coffee and burns himself.
This cracks me up even more. I can't decide which is funnier: That he burned himself when his kids are freezing or That he thinks his suffering is worth mentioning while his kids are going through so much more.

Hate the first commercial, still cheer for Dad every time I see the second commercial. *takes bow* My first commercial rant!!

Yeah, it's about time they showed the man acting like he's got a pair of balls! Normally they would show the mother looking at her husband and sons suffering in the snow as she mocks them with her feminist bitch of a neighbor.
There's hope after all for us men!!
