This Mother’s Day Show Your Baby’s Momma Were She Belongs

So I happened across this Mr. Clean advertisement while net surfing the other day:

Mr. Clean

My first reaction was to be offended by it — after all, hasn’t our society matured into a place where this type of stereo typical, sexists, advertisement should have no obvious impact on the purchasing public? But then Best Buy emailed me this Mother’s Day ad:

Best Buy Mother's Day Ad

Showing off their best gift ideas for mothers, they apparently made the assumption that moms like mixing things, doing laundry, and cooking food. Well… That was all the convincing I need!

I saw right then and there that “modern” way of thinking that women and men should share household responsibilities is completely backward. There are enough cleaning products and technological gadgets on the market today that allow women to keep up with house work without the help of their husbands — with ease. But why stop here? I think the best thing we can do for our baby’s mamma’s is to return to advertisements like these that were rampant in the “good ol’ days”:

Put her in her place

Women might not like it at first, but remember men, we’re smarter than they are so we know what’s best for them. Someday they’ll thank us for putting them back in their place.

Can't I Kill You?

I’m not even sure what this is an ad for, but this question seems like it really needs an answer.

A Little Spank Never Hurt Anyone

The art of store testing coffee is a lost art. Unfortunately, the art of a good wife spanking has gone missing too. I can’t be the only one to want to see a return of this activities. Fellas… back me up here!

What Wives Are For!

It’s really hard to find issue with this add for the “chef”. It obviously makes the cooking experience much more tolerable… I’m not sure why this is sexists? Women should be happy they have an appropriate tool for the job!

This Much!

I think this ad should have actually been ran for me. My wife is awesome with measurements and she doesn’t need the sexiest ad to spell it out for her. Me… I still need to actively think about the difference between a teaspoon and tablespoon.

Pass the pills please!

A drug that makes your wife cook you breakfast… I’ll repeat: A DRUG THAT WILL MAKE YOUR WIFE COOK BREAKFAST! Why are we not federally funding this as well as other medicines?!?

I miss this old ads — they seem to herald fond memories of a simpler time. Maybe we’ll get back there some day.

Oh yeah.. Happy Mothers Day Everybody!
