Everytime I see this commercial...

[HForrest]

I feel like unleashing a massive explosion of rage on the TV with a baseball bat.

And, as a response to the inevitable "you can just turn the TV off, why do you care" replies...
More and more messages appear like this on TV... Sure I can turn off the TV, but most people don't. The more they see of drivel like this, the more and more tiny psychological impressions are made in their brain... that this is an image of real life... and accept it. It makes an impression on soceity.
So there, that's why I care.

Note also, that the guy is a dumb oaf.

I did turn off the TV, about 20 years ago.  I still look at when in a motel or whatever.  I am not impressed.  Once we had a room with 99 channels.  I still couldnt find anything that was entertaining for more than 5 seconds.

But, yes.  The guy has a serious case of whipping.  You guys know what I mean.

yeah, i'd like to see any of my family member's try to treat another like that.

wars have been started on less.

Hey it's all part of the nanny state.

There's a phrase for guys like that, and another for women like his wife.  However, since I have pretensions to gentility, I won't use either one here.  When I see it I just roll my eyes.
My darling wife is a much, much nicer person than I am, and even she cast aspersions on the fellow's manhood.

And 'wimp' is not the word I was thinking of.
