In fact, a lot of commercials are, since it's always the woman who is right, awesome and intelligent, and the guy is the stupid dumb ass. The new Corona commercial is just annoying. I remember its predecessor, which...well okay that was dumb too. But this one was even worse. The first time, the guy looks at a woman walking by, and the woman next to him squeezes the lime on him. And then in this new one, SHE looks at another man passing by, the guy shakes her bottle, and I thought "Ha! Yeah! Get back at her!", but then she takes HIS bottle. Sexist and stupid, and unfair. So a man looks at a woman, he gets punished. A woman looks at a man, the man gets back at her since she's doing what he did before, and then he gets punished again for trying to get back at her? Where's the fairness in that? I don’t drink beer, I honestly am not fond of it, but man these commercials are sexist.

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:15:54 +0000 http://about-face.org/blog/?p=2864#comment-873 You make a good point, Jamie. I am absolutely wrong about Corona. I am writing out of Canada and the only commercials I had seen or found online by Corona at the time this post was written were not sexist. I will talk to the blog editor about changing my suggestion to support Corona. Thanks. You make a good point, Jamie. I am absolutely wrong about Corona.

But the route they've gone is tremendously demeaning, and should be made an example of. It is a commentary on how sexist our entire culture is that literally nobody seems to be making an issue of this.

The new Corona commercials are incredibly sexist! You know the woman will always get the better of the man in these ads. I guess we're supposed to think it's cute and laugh? Why can't it cut both ways? How hard is that? I totally agree with Jamie. The new Corona commercials are incredibly sexist! You know the woman will always get the better of the man in these ads.

I'd just like to point out how ridiculous and patently wrong your blog post is in saying that corona does not have sexist commercials. The most recent ones with the woman and man sitting on the beach are tremendously sexist, perhaps the most sexist commercials I've ever seen on tv. Which commercials are you watching?

I will not buy a Miller Lite again, nor any Miller products again. The commercials are sexist, and demeaning to women and come on guys-they make you look like brain dead neanderthals.
