The terribly offensive Droid ad!
This new ad for the Droid has been offending some people... can you tell why?
I don't think any of the Droid ads are very good (in fact, most ads in general are not very good), but I don't understand what's offensive about this. Actually, the metaphors make sense to me.
(Although I do find the fruit abuse to be terribly offensive. Because of this, I'm only going to eat meat. I can't believe the things people will do to poor fruit these days.)

"Is it a girl? No, it's a strong masculine (insert pictures of men) man-type thing.
Let's kill fruit.
Once again, is it female (girls being the sign of pamperedness for some sexist reason)? No, it's a fast and unbreakable male symbol.
(P.S. here male means robots)"

Unfortunately, Google's Blogger is ending the ability to update via FTP, so this blog is going to die. If and when I find stuff, I'll be posting it at my main blog, The New Blather. I guess I should do a farewell post for this blog...
