So not only are trucks strictly for men, they are for men who would cheat in school (unintelligent men? men with no regard for learning?).Pacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-79376401174594009142009-01-12T11:26:00.000-06:002009-01-12T11:26:00.000-06:00I had the exact same thoughts regarding the truck ...I had the exact same thoughts regarding the truck commercials.

Clearly, men are the target consumer. Purchase of said vehicle confirms one's participation in a men's world of physicality and dominance. But haven't the focus on the miniscule truck markets been the downfall of much of the auto industry (focusing on power, torque, and "toughness" rather than alternative engines and green tech)? This strikes me as not just an economic failure but also an indictment of larger cultural issues than I think the auto makers or others realize. <BR/>Also, I think Buck is a pompous jerk who opines more than a play-by-play guy should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-71417322008852769782009-01-12T07:45:00.000-06:002009-01-12T07:45:00.000-06:00Joe Buck is an emotionless robot.

But the very worst are those moronic Dodge ads with the rednecks in t-shirts with MILITARY and CONSTRUCTION on the front. Because those are REAL MEN, you know. They remind me of the Canyonero.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing that you, a vegan and a person with a brain, are not part of their target market (I'm not either, since I'm a woman).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-11326874266310392422009-01-11T21:23:00.000-06:002009-01-11T21:23:00.000-06:00Well, at least the Vikings aren't the only NFL pos...Well, at least the Vikings aren't the only NFL postseason team with problems! 3 teams seeded above the Vikings of a possible 4 teams seeded above them in the NFL lost, I repeat LOST this weekend! Talk about a near Vikingesque let'down. Kerry Collins's overthrows/lack of accuracy, Delhomme and Manning's INT.s! All these teams had there "better" QBs lay an egg like the Viking's TJack and all those teams have better coaching staffs then the Vikings! <BR/>The parody in the NFL is truly amazing! <BR/>Goes to show the Vikings may have had a chance at the "big dance" had they played 2 rather than just 1 half of football last week against the Eagles, man are they HOT! Next week, NFC Championship. battle of the BIRDS in AZ!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
