Why is it that every comical portrayal that involves a "protected" class gets slammed with a stereotype label. Do we want every commercial to portray all participants as if they were Ozzie and Harriet (or the Cleavers). That video only protrated ONE person in that light and made no suggestion about other women....in fact it showed exactly one man and one women behaving the same....where's the comment about the "stereotype" of the coach???? Double standard?? As far as I know, they don't have a pattern of commercials (or even two) that puport that all women/wives are that way. In fact, they have commercials protraying people of all types (genders, races, ages, nationalities, etc.) in funny situations. Its called humor....but apparently its only OK if the target of the humor is a man.
