Entry #7: Dumb Men




      In the video above a guy just asks for any beer because he didn't and the female bartender completely emasculated because he didn't ask for Miller Lite. Many videos of this nature are shown in the above site called "Dumb Men". The purpose is to show the hundreds of commercials out there that make fun of men.  The captions to these videos are obviously written by a man who is somewhat offended by how men are being portrayed. Using phrases such as  "bitchy bartender" he gets the point across that these commercials don't have his approval nor does he find it funny. As I watched a handful of these videos I never realized how often men were made fun of in commercials. Men are portrayed as the "stupid husband" or just not very useful.

      I don't understand the need now and days to slam people. Do people find slamming each other a source of fun? In the video above the guy asks for any lite beer and he had no preference. The female bartender told him that once he decided to man up and "take his skirt off" that she would give him a miller lite. So because he didn't choose the "right" beer he was emasculated and shamed in front of everyone. I don't know about you, but thats no reason to mock someone. The point that is trying to come across is that if you don't choose miller lite then you are a sissy and no girl wants sissy. This video is trying to be a huge shout out to all the men out there to make the "right" choice in beer. It is obvious to tell because women would give this "I'm too good for you attitude" because you drink a sissy beer. Miller Lite is saying if you drink the right beer you will attract all the hot girls.

     We should be able to tell that a girl is really shallow if she is choosing her man but what beer he drinks. It is definitely a clever approach that draws a man in to think that that is how a girl is won over. Although it wasn't right to emasculate a man they definitely knew what they were doing in the commercial to see their product.
