Man those ads are funny.

I like them too. He is a little touchy about my "profession" and quick to bluster. I told him I enjoy hearing someone say on tv something I might think to myself, whether or not I mean it.

There's an article about this subject in another officiating venue which I won't name. Their theory is that laughing at the refs can go too far. My opinion is that if ads like this lead the public to be even more hostile and angry, it's the fault of someone else, not the ads. I see the ad above as making fun of the fans for their ridiculous views that refs are biased. That's something I can laugh at!
