Functional Relationships Still Totally Unimaginable To American Consumers


I was floored by this add today while I checked my myspace account. On the one hand, it's really funny, and at least we've progressed beyond 1999's "how can I sleep with Mr. Big?" version of feminism to a new "if I get an MBA, I can dump my boyfriend" version. On the other hand, is positing a cyclical dystopia of shit relationships really the only way to sell goods and services?

Women would freak out at whatever ad agency/company/etc. depicted a man who was dying to kick his lazy, good-for-nothing woman out of the house. Gross. Obviously I'm worth nothing to this world until I get my MBA. Which isn't happening anytime soon.
