Woodland Hills, CA 91365 Is running an ad campaign that totally dismisses fathers. Their ad in the 11/9/98 issue of US News & World Report shows a woman and a boy. The caption says "I am a father and a mother." Ignoring all the evidence of how fathers matter to sons, Blue Cross chooses to promote the notion that a single mother can replace a father's contribution to his sons. Shame on you, Blue Cross!

1919 Torrance Boulevard
Torrance, CA 90501 Honda is running a TV advertisement on major networks that features a belching, raunchy, eructating, driveling, coughing, boisterous, throat clearing, spit rolling and disgust inducing male figure whose boorish behavior allegedly forces his indignant female partner to leave their premises and drive off in a Honda automobile. This Honda commercial portrays utterly poor taste in general and is especially offensive to men.

Kraft Phillip Morris, the world's largest producer of cigarette products (and part of Kraft Foods, Miller Beer consortium) ran a TV ad during the Sunday talk shows. The ad is about a woman who was attacked by her husband with a knife and who left him to go to a battered women's shelter. Lots of shots of the poor victim (an actress) and children playing. No men in it at all, the brutes. The worst part comes when the woman says (close up of smiling boy) "And the best thing is because I left, he (the boy) won't become a batterer too" or something like that.
No mention at all of the women who batter men and who incite domestic violence. The ad was clearly a bid to call off the politically correct hounds from hell--like Bill Gates creating a 1 billion dollar minority scholarship fund.

Southwestern Bell Wireless Aired a very anti-male commercial for its wireless telephones on T.V. It depicted a man in a grocery store calling his wife on one of their phones every time he had to select a grocery item. Depicts men as a bunch of incompetent fools that have to have a women hold our hand for every decision we make. This goes on like this until he is at the checkout, where the commercial shows an equally spaced out (or stupid) teenage boy who asks him the mind-boggling question of "Paper or Plastic?" Of course, the man has to call the wife one last time, and this is the end of the commercial. Portraying men as something so stupid that they can't even be trusted to stop by the store on the way home from work and buy a loaf of bread without consulting with the wife first is just needless male-bashing. What would the reaction be if the genders were reversed?
It's obvious what SWB thinks of its Male customers-Now it's time to see what SWB can do without its Male customer's money.

Trivial Pursuit: A commercial on Fox TV for the game Trivial Pursuit, which has a geeky-looking guy asking an attractive young woman "How Much The Average Man's Brain Weighs." Her response is "Not Much" and of course the real answer is given. We know what the response would be if this scenario were reversed.
