Although I haven’t really looked through any of the old photo archives yet, what interests me about superbowl commericials – especially the misogynist ones – is that often times, spending time with your wife is something you have to do to compromise. You’d much rather be hanging out with your Car, Beer, or Man Buddies. And oh, you have to do housework too, or whatever the case may be. I’m interested in how this contrasts with the way people in the 1950′s were more likely to have family dinners and spend time together. While this is only a basic draft of an idea, I think the way that people spend like time together as families as opposed to the way they did in the previous generations is a fascinating sociological phenomenal, and I’d love to find some way to comment on it by using both videos that suggest either way to use your work-time.

I’m developing a similar concept. Advertising tries to appeal to the dreamer in man. I guess with the current economic, housing, and educational situation, I guess marketers believe that distractions from family life is appealing.
