I raised my kids with no TV. Didn't hurt 'em a bit.

As many have, just do away with the TV. Problem solved. :D

Actually, there is a lot of fun to be had at males expense. I find some of Lowes commercials decidely low brow comedy, but I certainly don't take Madison Avenue tactics personally. Look at Tim Allen's Home Improvement show. Can't tell me there isn't a shred of truth in his character.
The acting and script writing for that series was, ummm, bland. I would watch an episode from time to time but was never a regular viewer by any means. Now when I stumble across this show on the tube I can not change channels quickly enough. It hasn't aged gracefully.
I don't know. The show was popular during one of the biggest home Improvement era's the USA has ever seen. Lowes and HD prospered. I thought the show was funny and I am not ashamed to admit it.:p

One of my favorite t-shirts ever....beside an original Stevie Ray Vaughn concert T...was "Real Men dont read instructions" and had a pic of Tim Allen. I liked the show too. Never thought of it as demeaning me....just Tim. I need to pay more attention :o
BUD.... WIE.... ZER....
Yep... That'll do it! Till that pesky little weasle steps in! :D
I see sooo much wasted shop time here. . . aren't we always complaining that there is never enough time to spend in the shop? :D Hey I just realized . . . I should be in the shop.
My wife and I have lived in Africa and Latin America more than we have lived in the US. We know what it is to be a minority and looked at funny and talked to in all forms especially being Americans. In my opinion everyone is getting serious about nothing, I would assume even the people who made these ads that are offending everyone are decent people. The VAST majority of people I have ever met I would consider well meaning even if sometimes they come off differently. I certainly dont mean to offend anyone by this comment but I think there are a lot more important things in the world that one can find to worry about.
