I hear that more frequently than my male coworkers would like to admit. Perhaps that's why I don't find the new commercial for Dr. Pepper 10 very funny.
Call me humorless. That's fine. But let's keep in mind that I hear (at least several times a month) "oh, there's no boy's club..." If you have to insist that something DOESN'T exist..... well, I'll let you just finish that one.

Huh ---- that's an interesting way to alienate over half your potential customer base.
As a guy, I'll tell you that this is an attempt to say "This is a diet drink you can use around other insecure young men."
Ever see a guy drink TAB? In a pink can? Notice that this can is blue?
The Red Bull folks must be ecstatic as how lame this sales pitch is to that demographic.
.."me thinks the man doth protests too much".... ^^
I don't have too much humour left about this subject... but then again, I see it every day with "golfing and keeping your wife happy" etc... not to mention the whole "I don't see a diamond on your finger".
/leaving now since the rant might start..... ;)
Alyssa's comment almost exactly echoes what I said when I saw this commercial for the first time last night. Even my husband noticed how bad it was!
WTF?!
I do think that the commercial is a LOT funnier on youtube....there is something about seeing it on the TV that makes me take it more seriously, I guess.
Who is protesting? I was pointing out that this product was not developed with women as part of its potential customer base, any more than TAB was developed 50 years ago with men as part of its customer base.
The only thing lamer than this ad is the thought that they spent money to run it on a TV show where it would be seen by anyone other than chubby 13 to 25 year old couch-potato gamers.
ah Dr Pion, I meant the man in the commercial "this is not for woman" "girly drink" etc... Not you, if you thought so?
My husband bought this product and THEN saw the add. He was like What is this about?! and went to drink one he said hey that isn't for you (just kidding) but seriously what was Dr. Pepper thinking?
