I don't apologize for the fact that most of the videos presented in this blog are now "private". It's not my fault. I will, however, look into the problem and try to fix as many links as I can. This is simply a problem with Google serving you.

SILENCE!
Every time I see this commercial on TV, I grumble "War On Men". It is despicable.
I'll grant you that "women driver's" is an unwarranted cliche, but the hostility with which this nag badgers her boyfriend/husband... well, it's is simply despicable. The way she barks "SILENCE!" at the end of the scene... I would have walked out on her for good and let her pay for my breakfast with her lousy $5 check.
The amazing thing, as always, is this, Allstate paid an ad agency to produce an ad that is so misandrogenistic. They market tested it with key demographics to ensure that this was a winning message. And they've run it for over a year. When you look at all the posts in this blog, you'll see that man-hating is apparently a winning strategy for insurance companies. To them, I say SILENCE!!!!
