That's a whole different topic, and one that I support fully.

That commercial was in no way a "test" to see how perceptive you are, or anything remotely close to that. It was simply one way to show you how advertisers play on gender stereotypes, and most of the time to the disadvantage of the minority. There are probably thousands on the internetz right now, that's simply one that plays on the "women can flirt and get whatever they want" model of society.
It does go both ways though. I'm sick and tired of seeing the "men are idiots who can't do anything" commercials that so many electronics companies feel the need to perpetuate.
This was in Times Square over the weekend, bigger than life.
I don't know what in the frak it's selling, but it just felt wrong.
