Comment on Ten Really Good Reasons Not to Have Kids by Renee

Renee — Mon, 14 May 2012 15:26:44 +0000

My sister and her husband (who has a PhD in child psychology) raised 5 children. They are all over 18 now. Three of them did not manage to graduate from high school. All five have had issues with drugs. One is currently in rehab for heroin addiction. The most successful child did actually make it through college, but currently makes all his money selling drugs. Watching their oldest son shout “Fuck you, Mom!” during my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary was unforgettable. My sister sacrificed a promising career as a classical musician to become a mom. My point — No matter how great a job you think you’ll do as a parent, there’s no way to know for sure that having kids will be “totally worth it” as so many parents claim.

Just watched a portion of the series “Wild Russia” where the various animals that survive in Siberia are shown. Ravens were mentioned and in addition to what you have written above ravens do a lot of “horseplay”. They were shown frolicking in the snow–rolling around, lying on their backs with their legs in the air and just generally playing–as kids do in the snow.

Duh, you too, the person they are showing in the commercial is a MAN, who they REFER to as an “unattractive woman” – Now do you get it??? The point is, most people think the person in the commercial is a woman – Newcastle thinks it was clear that it was a man, but there is nothing clear about this dumb ad, and in my opinion it is even more insulting that they make people think that the brewmaster is a woman when it’s a man!

Come on people,it was funny. In life you can find something wrong with almost anything that anyone says. You need to get over it and move on. If you don’t like the commercial, don’t buy the product. And for the record,life is full of attractive and unattractive people, most of that does not come from their physical appearance.

I also saw this commercial on The Travel Channel(late at night), and I did not take it as a joke! I thought it was blatant sexism, and I was very angry. Out of all of the unattractive men they put on TV and in the movies, they complained that the brewmaster(a woman) wasn’t attractive. What a double standard! Time to write to The Travel Channel and Heineken and ask them to either change the commercial or pull it.
