Meh...

Not their best work.

Are they TRYING to persuade women to avoid it? I know we aren't the target market, but why do they have to insult us?

I agree... there are many of us women with 1/2 a techie brain that are very attracted to the Droid... They had me with the "iDon't" commercials. However, their most recent commercials are very off-putting to the female population here... hopefully they'll find some balance.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why a woman would find offense in that commercial, unless they considered themselves one of the self-important princesses depicted in it; who would rather glue some tacky fake rhinestones on their phone than to actually use it properly.

I'm just sayin'

I agree...i think they are trying to leave the barbies and the paris hilton types out....not the smart professional women....

I thought it was more a slam on the iphone, and some of the ridiculous accessories, that can be bought for it, than a slam on women, But I'm just a dumb guy who loves my droid, so what so I know. :icon_ devil:

So you agree that pretty women are "clueless"?

Saw it last night, love the jabs it makes at ............

 

[jamsesh]

LOL I just have to pipe in about the "sexism" in the video. I really hope that the offended women don't identify with girls who consider themselves "Miss Pretty" and walk around looking at their own reflections in their phone.

Thanks for the laugh

Now who's clueless?

Since I spoke up 2nd about the issue, then I'll respond to this... no... I'm not one of those "Miss Pretty" types at all.. (just ask my BF who is a SEO/SM Director!!! He loves the fact I'm a techie!!)... there's just a lot of violence to the commercial that is so unnecessary. I know their trying to show that the phone isn't meant to be "pretty" & it's meant to be a workhorse... it's what I appreciate about the Droid. However, that being said, there's a rough edge to the commercial (along with the violent underpinnings) which can really turn off the female population....

Just my 2¢....
