But let's be fair - in all but one photo (the helmet) there's no way to prove that a woman driver was responsible. And the one with the woman who has the circle around her as she's walking, still doesn't mean she was the driver. AND... in same photo, it appeared that all the cars were ill parked some with lots of damage - was this perhaps at a repair facility or something?

It's logical, not emotional, to realize that this would have been more funny for everyone if the whole "woman" thing was left out.

Its funny because there's a stereotype of women being bad drivers. Really, if men can tolerate being abused with negative stereotypes in public commercials every 30 seconds, the ladies can get a good laugh at this ;)

I don't see the railing as being that hard, you just drive and when the edge of the car (probably back bumper) hits the rail it gets pushed right up.

I once dated a girl that put a nissan ultima ONTOP of a fire hydrant from packing up. Of course 8 guys mento commercialed the thing down, but it was surprisingly easy for her to get the car there in the first place.

I don't approve of bashing any type of group in any arena - I don't make nor do I watch commercials. There are lots of stereotypes about African Americans - does that make it okay to come to these forums and make jokes about those stereotypes? It wouldn't even be acceptable here.

Again the pics would have been funny just because they are funny situations. But whatever... you have your philosophies on life, and I have mine.

Cheers,
