We talked a little bit about how advertising for men in class and in the video, I think the ads for men are pathetic. The dr pepper 10 is for men who are so insecure about their "manliness" that they need a diet soda they can drink without feeling feminine. My boyfriend drinks diet coke and no one would ever think he isn't manly. Places like LadyJanes for men is stupid too, because you get your hair cut by the same girls that work at super cuts and there are big screen tvs you are more of a man? It all seems so stupid, if you are such a man why do you have to go out of your way to prove it. Spike tv is for men and there is hardly ever an episode without an almost naked girl who is really skinny and has fake boobs, honestly guys who watch spike tv and go to lady janes and drink dr pepper 10 don't impress anyone. It is weird how men try so hard to be men, maybe women in advertisements are always beautiful and we want to use the same shampoo as them but I have never seen a commercial and thought I needed to be like her because she is more feminine than I am. I like sports and beer, i hate romantic comedies and shopping and I get so annoyed when I see a commercial that acts like men are so manly because they like action movies. This old spice commercial is supposed to make you more manly, so guys i guess if you feel like you cant be a man without help from the media you better get this deodorant.
