featuring men chefs pulling down their aprons while seductively leering into the camera... oh, never mind. Sex sells to people with no facts in their heads. Anyone who refers to women as "females" ... oh, never mind. Predictable and sad. We can debate cluelessness for 1000 years and 1000 years from now the clueless will still be good customers of mindless advertising. Get over it and lets fight some meaningful battles like knowing the difference between "who's" and "whose."
