The super bowl

The Super Bowl. Traditionally, football is a man's sport. I grew up loving the game. My father is a die hard Steelers fan. By either genetics or exposure, so are 3 out of 4 of his girls. We bleed black and gold. My own sweet babies root for the Steelers right along with us. My Grandfather lives in Beaver, PA (A small township  outside of Pittsburgh). We can't help but love them. It appeals to the blue collar worker in all of us. Anyway, the point of this entry is not to love on "My Boys".

  I have serious beef with the companies that insist of creating sexist, overly sexy commercials. I'm not the first parent to complain. A lot of my parent friends did. These commercials were inappropriate for a time that children would be awake watching the game with their parents. I'm tired of GoDaddy commercials and beer commercials that objectify women. I'm tired of half time shows with scantily clad women parading on stage in nothing more than lingerie  What message are we sending to our children and our daughters? Is it really okay once a year to treat women as nothing more than sex objects? Can't they come up with commercials that are appropriate and witty? Take Jeep & Dodge, both fantastic commercials saluting our troops and giving credit to our farmers! Budweiser's commercial was a tearjerker. None of them objectified women or were disgustingly inappropriate. Why not play those commercials in the 1st half? It's not that difficult.
