The standard image for an SUV commercial is to be on top of some rocky spire and pretend it did not take a helicopter to transport said SUV and crew to the spot.</p> <p>Add to that all the media depictions of recklessness behind the wheel as a birthright that rarely has any real-life consequences.</p> I think that's a valid observation.

Add to that all the media depictions of recklessness behind the wheel as a birthright that rarely has any real-life consequences.

Tatter – your nick is well suited to your contribution. The rag you offer is naught but shreds as you seek to cheapen and diminish the discourse with your brain farts. It seems to be your life's work. But thanks for playing.

If only your reading comprehension was better that your stilted thought processes, you'd comprehend that Mr. Weiss and I do *not* believe everything we see on TV (one of the reasons we find the Israel lobby propaganda so vexing).

Commercials do have the power to influence behaviors and attitudes, otherwise they would not spend so much money on them. Even then, such as with car ads, they have to put in somewhere "Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt" because the assumption is that the ad is depicting a reality of sorts. Toy commercials often have disclaimers along the lines of "Action figure does not move, talk, fly, or spit fire, nor will it really be your best friend."

If Jake would have paid attention to the fine print, he might have noticed it stated that users referring to women as "bitches" voids any implied warranty and belong in the category of douche bag as Tatter.

[Tatter] – "I'm not *just* a douche bag, I'm the CEO. Welcome Jake, have a nozzle!"
