Super Sexism at the Super Bowl

Even though I was on a high from the Giants playing so well, I was lucid enough to know that this commercial was so incredibly misogynistic and disgusting. I even announced to my fellow Super Bowlites (Super Bowlians?) that, make no mistake, I would be blogging about this tomorrow! And here I am.

Let me preface this by saying that I watch the Super Bowl expecting sexism in the form of burping men complaining about their nagging wives while chugging cheap lite beer. I get that. It’s gonna happen, and for some reason or another, it sells that cheap lite beer. But this ad totally offended me. It was basically an ad for internet porn, at Danica Patrick’s expense. I know that she probably reaped in the cash for this ad, as well as for the hits the site received immediately following the ad. But it was so tasteless. This woman could not have been less respected and more objectified. It made me incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassed that this was one of the Super Bowl ads (ads that are supposed to be the best of the best).

Simply put, they were selling male orgasms. Ew.
