At the end of the commercial, he promised that he was heading off to lift weights.

I'm sure P&G has at least a few brands under their umbrella that would appeal to the men out there--or is there some kind of unspoken rule that caring about, supporting, and investing in your kids is Extremely Unmanly and will result in the Revocation of your Man Card, and P&G acknowledging that dads can be just as involved and invested as moms would be a bad business move?RogueFiccerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771057308264812757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-33122172941685092102012-08-06T17:29:22.278-07:002012-08-06T17:29:22.278-07:00Bread and Circuses....and when there isn't eno...Bread and Circuses....and when there isn't enough Bread, more Circuses.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-47588323087108754772012-08-06T17:25:06.481-07:002012-08-06T17:25:06.481-07:00I remember an essay by Orwell about how the best w...I remember an essay by Orwell about how the best way to ensure enmity between the nations of the Earth was to stage events like this. We would probably be better off by far if the idiot who started this up had remembered why the Byzantine Empire called them to a halt in the first place.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
