Trojan Condom Commercial and the Stereotype of Men as Sex-Addicts with no Self-Discipline

I can do without the stereotype of men as sex-addicts with no self-discipline, but this Trojan ad is a funny commercial. To watch, click here.

Stumble It!

I switched brands!
Enough with these cultural garbagehandlers and their overrated menswear.
I’m waiting for the commercial that shows a unscrupulous woman sabotaging a condom for her lover with a pin…… only to discover that HE WILL NOT USE HER CONDOM BUT RATHER HIS OWN (as Tom Leykis teaches young men).
To Steven Deluca:
I didn’t understand the joke the first time I saw it as it appears you also didn’t. I finally got it the second time around.
The guy WAS doing what men would be expected to do. He didn’t go out to his car to drive away, as all the relatives in the ad assumed. He went back to his car to get his condoms. They cheered too soon and that’s why the condom company suggested we keep our condoms in the car. Having them in the car, in this instance, saved his cheating butt.
At least there are not any ads of yet of homosexual men or women.
It’s coming though.
Its funny Glenn? So, that’s OK then. We chaps have a sense of humour. We can take a joke. Laughter can overcome inferiority, can’t it? Now where did I put my purple paint can.
It’s still sexist and makes men look like the inferior sex – he is so special because he didn’t do what we all expect a man about to be married to do, cheat a few hours before he gets married.
woman good, man bad. SOP = standard operating procedure
I liked the first one, where all men are pigs, until they spend some money on something for for a slutty looking bar girl.
