Ads gone bad: Would you act sexist for a Klondike bar?

Klondike bars are SO delicious that men are willing to do horrible, awful, emasculating, girlie things to get one! My god, to think that these candies have the power to make men demean themselves so thoroughly ... well, Ghandi's nuts, I'm going out to get one right now.
If you thought getting girlie-waxed for your love of Klondikes was atrocious, check out this next guy: he loves Klondike bars so much, he's willing to do the almost unthinkable: walking around in public carrying his girlfriend's dog! Because girlfriends have stupid dogs!
But worst of all, this last guy loves Klondike bars so much, he is willing to spend time with his family. (Get it!? It's a mother-in-law joke! Bet you never heard one of those! HAHAHAHA.)
Man, guys sure are tough and awesome for doing all this hard, demeaning, awful crap so they can eat a chocolate bar.

Every mother-in-law joke ever: MAN. If there's one thing I hate, its my mother-in-law! She's always being critical of all my flaws and expecting me to not be an asshole when I'm around her.
These ads suck. I don't think they even flow, really.
Posted 06/25/2009 at 08:10:55 AMFor real, Bear Tactics. There was kind of a wacky, lame silliness to the old-school ads. Now they're all trying to be hip and with it, and it's creepy.
Posted 06/25/2009 at 08:16:17 AMI think you're totally missing the point which is that it's an ICE CREAM bar, dipped in CHOCOLATE.
Duh.
Chicks.....heh.
Posted 06/25/2009 at 08:33:56 AMYou know, do they even REALLY need to advertise? As chad pointed out, it is ice cream dipped in chocolate. Anyone who needs to be convinced to eat one is probably too dumb to enjoy it anyway.
Posted 06/25/2009 at 09:26:56 AMI agree with some of these, but, sometimes, you read too much into it. Like now. It's not because a wax it girlie. They hurt. Have you ever gotten a wax? And a wax down there would hurt more. I wouldn't do that for a Klondike bar, but whatever.
