<<I think I hear ya...it may be that I cannot be objective >>

Probably never worked one of those jobs .....

About 15years ago I built a house for my folks in NY. One guy I hired worked during the day in a factory making cutlery. He came in the evening to pound nails for me and on weekends

This guy was a hard worker not stupid but complained about his lack of ambition and how he would be stuck in this factory forever. He was a young guy in his twenties...Amazing....

<<What I dislike about those ads is the fact that it portrays women as immature and somewhat sadistic...and the men are portrayed as 'grunt losers'...>>

Tons of media does this...Tons and Tons...It's almost a national past time for add excs......Something about the perception of Political correctness I think.... putting women in abusive positions of power

There are two Williams commercials like this...Know the two I mean?

BTW got acupuncture for my ankle....Foot still looks like a sausage but it don't hurt no more.

Here's one for ya .Have you seen the no smoking commercial Where the grocer is carding the kids trying to buy ciggies? Next time you see it check out the little girl who says " Oh com'on" When asked for ID. Both her and the kid standing in front of her are spittin images of the grocer himself!....

The actors playin these two have to be the grocers real life kids....Betcha
