Snickers mocks the idea that men can respect women in Australian ad

[Violet_Crumble]

15. I agree it's insulting to construction workers...

We're a nation of stereotypes though, and I get insulted when people who don't live in Canberra trot out all the stereotypes about public servants doing no work and drinking latte and having meetings for no point other than having meetings. So if I were a tradie, I'd be insulted by the ad. I got the impression from the ad that rather than it being something amiss (many building sites are being run by huge companies with strict rules on harassment and stuff), it's more that it'd be a miracle to hear someone on a building site calling out the cool stuff they were calling out...

I think there's more of a reason to be offended by this ad than the last one that caused a stir online and for which I got my arse kicked at DU for daring to point out that the fried chicken stereotype in the US isn't a stereotype here and not racist...
