Men as Buffoons was the Fare on Super Bowl Sunday

Those who know me understand I am no friend of the Super Bowl. But it appears the ads which ran during this years game got something right --21st century manhood is in trouble. This Bellingham Herald report on the the men of the Super Bowl ads explains the sad state of affairs. Men are portrayed as pathetic, stupid, emasculated morons. An example is the Dodge Charger ad:

"(It) featured a depressing view of a man's life as he talked to his invisible partner, listing all the sacrifices and concessions he'd made.

"I will get up and walk the dog at 6:30," the man said. "I will eat fruit with my breakfast. I will say yes when you want me to say yes. I will be quiet when you want me to say no. I will take your call. I will listen to your friends' opinions of my friends. I will be civil to your mother. I will put the seat down..."

"And because I do this," the man concluded, "I will drive the car I want to drive."

"Charger," the ad declared. "Man's last stand.""

Praise God that a Christian man must neither live in defeat nor drive a Dodge Charger in order to prove his masculinity.
