lobolanceOk, I like Chevy's current promotion, 'the whole enchilada,' as far as the food goes.
But the advertising is driving me nuts.
Such blatant sexism!
It just kills me how if a male were to say the lines the female voice says ("I want a husband, kids, and a pool boy named Antionio!", etc) there would be a giant outcry of horror and sexism. Since a female does it, it's funny/cute/acceptable. I suppose it's progress to have a woman able to name sex for fun as a plus at all ;-), but geez... Of course, I wish all people were allowed to want sex for fun, and that monogamy wasn't the assumed relationship, etc etc., but hey.
OTOH, I think it's equally telling, in a different way, that one of the male versions of the 'whole enchilada' includes a 'gang of brown-nosing yes-men!'.
About sums it all up.
