So I guess you tag line would prove to be correct....tv IS educational.
    I raised my kids with no TV. Didn't hurt 'em a bit.

    Cliff, Take a deep breathe and slowly step away from the television!

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

    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.

    Not much imagination though: the whole premise of the show is, "What would Bob Vila do in this situation?"
    The scary part is, it took 'em seven years to run out of material.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    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.

    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
    Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

    I see sooo much wasted shop time here. . . aren't we always complaining that there is never enough time to spend in the shop? Hey I just realized . . . I should be in the shop.

    Insult or what ¿?

    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.
