This sexist slim pit of a company and inform them that because of their choice in advertising firms and its repulsive history of advocating male genital sexual assaults for fun and profit ,that their said company with its direct associatations to and with persons who advocate the use of male sexual assault as funny and edgy way to get my attention, worked ! So much so that I have sworn never to buy any of their products or services ever..and when the oppurtunity to trash their names and products if I even have to lie outright, in order to get back at their ad firm thru the use and conviction and associated guilt of hiring this armpit agency to. Do their ad work. I will do exactly that til the day I die...so how " edgy" is that ? Huh ?

Therefore, the idiotic producers of this man-hating commercial have no legitimate reason to NOT make a follow-up commercial that shows the old woman receiving a kick in the vulva. Only a sexist, hypocritical pig would disagree.

Why do advertising companies use this predictable and sexist, and not to mention, tiresomely overused hate to sell?

I DARE R&R to create an advertising campaign MOCKING a woman's pain of sexual assault... I DARE THEM!

And if they won't - they've just proven beyond a DOUBT that they are sexist, hateful, bigotted and downright cowardly in front of feminists.

When did sexual assault become funny? Only when the perpetrator is female I guess.

Chris wrote on June 12, 2008 05:25 PM: The Water District targets ALL homeowners with grass in their front yards. I got a warning about overspray. I readjusted my sprinkler heads. I check them EVERY time I mow. Two months later, when watering days changed, I got a fine. They came by on the 1st...not even giving me one grace day to change my clock. Six months later, I got another fine for overspray. I asked the Water District if the "water police" could come out and help me. I asked if they could look at my sprinklers with me and tell me what I could do to make my sprinklers "better". They told me that they do not do that. I then asked if they could at least recommend a landscape company who could come and help me. I was again told NO. The water police will only send a video, filmed at 4:00 am on a windy night.

I do not mind the water police "policing"....however, there should be resources available to help conscientious homeowners. Half of the fine money should be used to pay the water police and the other half could be put to good use by hiring water probation officers willing to give advice on changing sprinkler heads, how to operate sprinkler clocks (yes, I know how) and compiling a list of licensed landscapers that could be distributed. Many people (single moms, handicap individuals, elderly) would benefit if the Water District would offer more support.

Oh yeah...I forgot...let's just kick them in the crotch.

No, I do not have the physical anatomy for an effective groin kick from Water District reminders to conserve, but my budget has certainly taken it in the groin with the conservation "reminders" constantly being tacked onto the bill.

Hmmm...an impressive public company, spends over a million on publicity, sinks funds into the development and management of a PC appropriate Springs Preserve, buys huge chunks of Nevadan ranch land in preparation for a mega-pipeline project, wow...the district has it all, money, power, influence, backing, and the consumers by the throat to ensure multiple price increases for future ventures.

I follow the guidance from the Water District to the letter and I'm a man. So, I don't need to be reminded every year as Mister Snow asserts. Mister Snow has to do his homework and discover that this valley has one of the highest percentages of single parent households headed up by females. Maybe their next ad will feature a guy grabbing some female's body part to remind her that it's a desert out there.
