Sarah Haskins in Target Women: Feeding Your F---ing Family

. . . .still funny.

HAH ! ( still funny )

and she said... FIX YER OWN M%^@#&F$#%1# POT PIE!!!!

What I love about this segment is that it not only dissects the "2nd wave feminism", but because women have been an exploited demographic in advertising ever since they were allowed to buy things with money and vote, this really looks at the deeper issues of consumerism and media psychology.

As soon as women were empowered as individuals, advertisers saw them empowered as CONSUMERS. And what do you do with Consumers? Prey on their hopes, fears, and senses of inadequacy.

I love the observations that Sarah makes, interrupting commercials to say exactly what the subtext is screaming at you wordlessly.

This is HYSTERICAL!!!

I'm glad I don't have kids so I can eat Pad Thai with Tofu :)

Actually the way to a man's heart is a bit south of his stomach.

When I got old enough to realize my mom was busting her ass to feed her family, I cooked for her. And when she finally mustered the courage to tell me my cooking kinda sucks, we settled for McDonald's. And when my brother got tired of that, he cooked some really great stuff.

I think the whole "only women can feed the family" stereotype can sizzle on the coals of modernity. Also, Sarah Haskins has a new fan. :D

Hilarious. I wish I had Direct TV and thus had Current TV.

I love it!

well im offended either by sarah or by my wife since i work 12 hours a day and still i cook when i get home.

Sarah Haskins can have my baby!!

So, let me see if I get this straight: according to these commercials all men are passive-aggressive layabouts who wait for the womenfolk to put food in front of their faces, lest they starve to death, right? And, if left to their own devices (...gasp!), the only foodstuff their caveman-like culinary skills can produce are frozen waffles...from a toaster oven!?

I understand that women are unfairly portrayed in these ads as being solely responsible for feeding the family mob (...even if it is with microwaveable bits of mystery meat and peas), but, at the risk of violating the whole "target women" subject, doesn't this injustice cut both ways?

Isn't it about time we abandon these "Leave It To Beaver" misconceptions?

By the way, keep up the good work Sara; love your stuff!

God, I love her.

Brilliant!

Take the apron off! THE APRON SCARES ME!!!

Very funny!

ok, just awsome!!!

brilliant!

Love it!

How stupid do the marketeers think we are? oooh, that stupid. Sarah Haskins is the brightest light to shine on this pathetic industry in a long time. more more.

I want, so much, to compliment you, Sarah but, great gosh amighty, now I'm fearful of how you'll take it!
Sheesh!
(love ya)

this is a riot... more please.

Being a working mom I totally agree!

Sarah - another great post. Thank you! :)

For anyone else reading this - here's an ad I found recently I really liked (more related to Sarah's botox post, but I'm here at this post now, so . . . ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHUz49WaPiM

comedy mixed with womens studies. this is hilarious!

Microwaving buffalo nuggets actually requires less skill then toastering frozen waffles. Fact.

The family sarcasm bit was genius (the trumpet asked for it).

i cant the take the sarcasm anymore!!!

great job sarah

"No kids."

Awesome, Sarah. :D

Sarah Haskins is one of the best parts about Current.
