There are reasons why I dont watch television. One of those reasons would be advertisements.
A specific advertisement comes to mind that I dont like. The Special K ads. The most recent ads have centered on three individuals. A clearly gay man in his late twenties, early thirties, an Asian woman, around the same age, and a very pretty caucasian woman. And usually what happens is Gay Guy and Asian Lady are in the break room/meeting room whatever, snacking on or about to snack on something unhealthy, and Very Pretty Caucasian Woman comes along, and she resists the unhealthy snack in order of a Special K snack, prompting the other two to say something along the lines of "You're so strong!" and generally admire the Very Pretty Caucasian Woman for her healthy lifestyle.
Do you see where I have an issue? I think I was pretty obvious about it.
It isnt the Gay Man or the Asian Lady who are healthy. It's the young, attractive white girl who is the healthy one, who makes the right choices and who is strong. She is the ideal.
Do you see?
This is why I dont watch television.
