Most of you have already seen the video clip above. It is called "My New Haircut". If you haven't seen it, you should know that it is pretty vulgar during some scenes. This clip is poking fun at the stereotype of young Italian-American men from New York or New Jersey (most people refer to them as "guidos".) Guidos have been stereotyped to be extremely macho men who consider themselves ultimate alpha-males. But I think this clip can also be seen as making fun of any young guy who works out by day and drinks alcohol and scopes out ladies by night, all while maintaining an "air" that they are "totally awesome". Thank God that not every man is really like this.

Commercial Spoof (For Friday, January 30)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8wWT9ugFBA
That link leads to a spoof on the Axe commercials. It takes the idea of an Axe bodyspray made for women and shows how twisted and sick the results would be. Honestly, I never even thought of how creepy it would be if all women just followed anyone that wore Axe bodyspray. But after watching this spoof, I actually am glad I'm a guy and I don't get ogled and hit on by freaky-looking men.

A Video Game Intended For Women? (For Friday, January 23)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pia7KkuFAE
The link above leads to a commercial for a recently released video game called "Animal Crossing: City Folk". I see these ads every once in a while on television, and there is never a guy playing the game in any of them. The ads are all very similar. They usually feature a number of women in their own households curled up on the couch, chatting it up through wi-fi connection. I've played a bit of the first "Animal Crossing" game, and the game seemed okay, but it wasn't really my thing. All I did in the game was buy new furniture for a house and buy new clothes for my avatar. I know a handful of guys that were obsessed with the first game, and some even brought it up that it was weird how all the commercials for the sequel only have women in them. None of them bought the sequel, and I guess this had something to do with it. I have never seen any other video game commercials that seemed to be aimed only at women, and I find it funny that this one is for a game just based on... basically shopping. Why aren't there any video game commercials with tons of shooting and gore where women are playing and chatting? Odd...
