Samsung sexist online ads.

Classy. They have a long history of sleaze.

1. Those Korean Air commercials are pretty sexist, too.

It's a cultural thing--they're stuck in the MAD MEN sixties when it comes to women, it would seem.

They supposedly have EO laws over that way, but I think it's a lot like France--sounds great on paper, doesn't work quite so well in reality.

3. Okay, yes that was sexist, but it was also funny as hell. I liked the cartoon noises.

Door #69 was a nice touch. If I didn't know it was a commercial I would have thought it was simply for comic value - mostly showing how gullible men can be. Nice shorts. My wife has a pair like that.

5. Was that the Old Spice guy in the towel?

I thought it was funny as hell. Sexist? Probably. But hey, guys like hot chicks. It's in our damn DNA. If anything, it's making fun of guys who think only with the "little head."

Wait a minute! Now I'm offended!

7. Yeah, frankly I think it was making fun of guys overall. I didn't notice the guy in the towel.

And yeah, guys like hot chicks. I happen to be married to one. And no, I'm not posting pics.

8. I married one too!

Everybody else, eat your hearts out!

9. That's sort of my attitude. She's 48 and most people peg her for 30. BUT...

She's also a 3rd degree black belt and teaches karate in the evenings and does demo team on Saturday. I'm sure that helps with the tank top and short-shorts. I wouldn't trade her for anything and that has nothing to do with her appearance. She's my best friend.

4. I didn't watch the ad. The image I posted was an ad link to the video.

I'm sure it's funny, and sexy girls are fine with me, but if you need them to sell your product, then you've got problems. Samsung steals ideas and makes up the rest with sleazily business practices.

GoDaddy's ads are borderline pornographic because their service is so terrible. People in the know buy their domains elsewhere. GoDaddy is the MySpace of online services.

6. Oh my GOD. Someone is using an attractive woman to try to sell a product!

I never heard of such a thing! Whatever is the world coming to????????
