"Maybe Even A Man Or Two": Gender Roles In The Laundry Room
Watch this Clorox commercial to find out who's been doing the laundry in Commercial-Land for the past hundred-odd years. Hint: women. "Maybe even a man or two" tried his hand, but he probably fucked it up. [Sociological Images] -

Encourage Men To Focus Less On Your Words, More On Your Ass
The woman in the commercial at left has such a great butt thanks to Reebok EasyTone sneakers that the cameraman can't help but zoom in on her backside. She just smiles and takes his creepy ogling as a compliment. [AdGabber] -
