A Slap in the Face

Check out this commercial. Give it a second to see what you think about it. I'll be right here while you go look.

Then take a look at the discussion about it here. Was that your first reaction?

Now that you've thought about it and seen one view of it, what do you think of the commercial? About the trend in general?

If it were my husband in the commercial, I'd be the one "male bashing" him and he would need more than frozen peas.... I prefer the Lorena Bobbit method. Now that is an idea for a PSA if you are REALLY trying to get the messege across!!!!
My first reaction was not that it was male bashing but was thinking that the guy got rejected ALOT!
Men cheat and women cheat, no PSA is going to change that.

I also did not think of male bashing and thought wow thats one hell of a message not to cheat. I do not condone bashing of either gender but I believe this is the same as songs like the Carrie Underwood song "Before He Cheats". This is just a thought a maybe we think of it thought but don't act on it.

I do agree that if it were a woman getting slapped, kneeded, or having a vase broken over her head they would never air it...what do you think about that, is it okay?

No Way, the commercial would have never made it to the air if it were a woman getting "bashed".

Maybe men would not have said no to an attractive woman, therefore what's the reason for a reversal version of the commercial?
