CO$ DefectorTV Actor Jason Beghe has just defected from Scientology and boy is he angry. Not surprising if you read the latest issue of Radar which has a really great in depth piece on Anonymous and its war on the church. Here’s excepts of Beghe’s interview.
Speaking of CO$, Katie Holmes is under the influence of something creepier than even they.
End Misandry Now
Advertising Age sends a message to advertisers. Stop bashing men and fathers. It seems like every ad portrays men as stupid, dumb asses who need women to tell them what to do. It’s like a reversal of the stereotypes of women in the 60s. Now people are talking back.
The way the advertising industry portrays men has drawn increasing scrutiny in both the trade press and the mainstream media. Defenders of the status quo—in which men are depicted as irresponsible fathers and lazy, foolish husbands—are starting to feel outnumbered. It’s an understandable feeling.
In 2005, Bob Jeffery, chairman of JWT, said his agency had committed itself to developing “smart, positive portrayals of the modern man.” Meanwhile, anti-male ads have been criticized by, among others: Marian Salzman, chief marketing officer of Porter Novelli; Mark Tungate, author of “Branded Male: Marketing to Men”; syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker, whose weekly columns appear in 300 newspapers; TV host Bill Maher; CBS News anchor Charles Osgood; nationally syndicated radio-talk-show host Laura Schlessinger; syndicated columnist Jacey Eckhart; Chicago Tribune columnist Ross Werland; law professor/author and blogger Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit; Christine B. Whelan, author of “Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women”; and major-market-talk-show hosts Al Rantel, Mike McConnell, Ron Smith and Joe Elliott.
The evidence is clear: “Man as idiot” isn’t going over very well these days.
Stereotypes are the products of hacks and bigots. In this case the bigots are people “educated” under the PC ethic of modern day universities where too many professors teach the same kind of jingoism they claim to deplore in white males. The sooner and end comes to this hackery, the better.
