Uncaring Men in the ‘Man Mom’ Advertising Campaign

Ned Holstein of Fathers & Families first pointed out the “Man Mom” advertising campaign to me. The campaign is for Combos Snacks, and is another example of the common TV theme of men as irresponsible, uncaring parents.

In the ads, whatever the problem (illness, stress, whatever) the only solution the male parent can come up with is Combos Snacks–”what your mom would feed you if your mom were a man.”

In this ad, named “Heart to Heart,” a despondent son takes a personal problem to his “mom.” To watch the ad, click here.
