No worries:
The Cavs were obviously attempting to be funny by riffing off the other commercial. But somewhere along the line of approval, someone inside the organization should have realized what this would look like and the tone-deaf message it sends. http://thinkprogress.org/...
What, you mean some someone of the male persuasion??? Ladies,
do not try to have fun or have an opinion, for your own personal safety, please.
Add this to Bud Light promoting drunken sex, as a way to get you into bed, and the "big game" continues:
“The Perfect Beer For Removing ‘No’ From Your Vocabulary For The Night.”
The bottle was widely criticized online as being grossly insensitive to issues of rape and consent. Anti-rape activists have long emphasized that the concept of “no means no” is fundamental to sexual relationships, and warned that alcohol is one tool that rapists often use to take advantage of their victims.
The “Bud Light Up For Whatever” campaign has previously been the subject of criticism. The company also received some backlash for a St. Patrick’s Day tweet: “You can also pinch people who aren’t #UpForWhatever.”
The company removed the tweet, saying “[o]ur intention was only to be playful and celebrate the holiday.”

Well, at least I get the deposit for all the Bud Light bottles and cans I pick up along the road around here...
We can see, from the Sony hack:
As Women and Hollywood reported on Monday, one of those leaked emails was an exchange between Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter and Sony CEO Michael Lynton. In the email, dated August 7, 2014, with the subject line “Female Movies,” Perlmutter appears to be explaining to Lynton why a female-centric superhero movie is a bad business idea:
Michael,
As we discussed on the phone, below are just a few examples. There are more.
Thanks,
Ike
1. Electra (Marvel) – Very bad idea and the end result was very, very bad. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/...
2. Catwoman (WB/DC) – Catwoman was one of the most important female character within the Batmanfranchise. This film
was a disaster. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/...
3. Supergirl – (DC) Supergirl was one of the most important female super hero in Superman franchise. This Movie
came out in 1984 and did $14 million total domestic with opening weekend of $5.5 million. Again, another disaster.

Dreck by male superheros that flops, OK.
Oh, and Agent Carter, calling Agent Carter...
