F'd Ad Fridays: Clorox ad stained by sexism

You know, this ad would have been amusing and entertaining if it had been done in the 1960s.



Today, it is still slickly written and acted, with lots of mayhem.

It also delivers the following messages:

1. Laundry is mom's job
2. Moms are no fun
3. Dads have no responsibilities at home
4. Boys will be boys
5. Men will be boys
6. Girls will be boys (until they grow up, become moms, do laundry and become no fun)
7. Clorox believes that this is the way it should be (and they have a history of telling us that)

You know what, Clorox? You stink.

My fellow admen, this is why they hate us (again)

According to Agency Spy, this was the goodbye gift to two summer interns at digital agency R/GA:


Good Bye Interns from Leif on Vimeo.

And here I thought Mad Men was historical fiction, and that we now worked in an enlightened industry in which women are respected colleagues and clients rather than sexual playthings and passive eye candy.

But apparently I was wrong. So in that case, sweetheart, stop your yapping and go fix me a stiff drink.
