#NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50
— NARAL (@NARAL) February 8, 2016
It's telling that NARAL is stuffing an abortion tweet full of smarmy anti-sexist griping. "Sexist Tropes Of Dads As Clueless" is a Men's Rights Activism meme. It may be the first time NARAL has ever amplified a degrading male stereotype.
The whole point of the tweet is to vent outrage over people being reminded that ultrasound exists. The advent of ultrasound lets people decide all by themselves what, exactly, it that thing in there. People conclude, using their own judgement, that the thing is a human being.
That's why young people today are more pro-life than their parents. Millennials came of age during the ultrasound era. It makes convincing them of NARAL's party line - that the only real "choice" is abortion - much more difficult.
I pondered what to call this obvious hostility to unborn babies. Perhaps "Fetus Derangement Syndrome."
The Doritos ad was featured on the local morning news today. They called it "controversial" without mentioning why it was causing "controversy." Let's just agree that the ad won't be in contention for a Maggie Award.
Switching gears, I couldn't help but notice how many Super Bowl ads used recycled popular music to pimp their wares. Seal went Full Seal for a remake of his one decent song Kiss From A Rose, for the NFL. A graphic on the screen remarked that "Data suggests 9 months after a Super Bowl victory winning cities see a rise in births." Radfems are going to hate on that one, suggesting that men go on a raping spree or something. I read once that seeing your team win increases testosterone levels in men, so the data will be replicated across Bronco nation.
Another cheap ripoff was GoPro using Blitzkrieg Bop to pimp out their cameras. That was a regional ad, intended to appeal to their ultra-slender target audience. Their stock price apparently has an ultra-thin target chump as well.
Honda also indolently used some intern's Spotify playlist to move the iron. They used Queen's eternal song, Somebody To Love, to tell a 30-second story of a sheep farmer. I don't think their target audience is sheep farmers. Who identifies with sheep farmers?
Women perhaps, who might fantasize about an uncomplicated bachelor pining away, just for her. I don't see too many women buying pickup trucks, though. A man wouldn't have any use for a truck with a three-foot bed. Young people, perhaps? Probably, since the truck bed audio seems to be aimed at them.
Ah, young people, who haven't yet realized that they are the sheep.
