The Doghouse

This is pretty hilarious: http://bewareofthedoghouse.com/video.aspx.

It reminds me of a Christmas several years ago when my father bought my mother 12 gifts: 11 electronics and computer items (some really good stuff, too) and a diamond necklace. She returned all 11 electronics and computer items, but kept the necklace. Next year he bought her five gifts: all jewelry. Lesson learned, I suppose.

Of course, I can't help but point out that if J.C. Penny made a similar video about women giving men crap gifts and being punished for it, they'd be denounced as sexists, probably boycotted, and possibly even sued. Apparently the glass ceiling was shattered in advertising a long time ago.
