Alright. I gripe about this sort of thing from time to time. Now, I'm really banning patronizing certain companies. Orbitz has ticked me off. I'm a single father, and even when I had my wife living here, I was very involved with all decisions that were made regarding our family life. I'm so tired of seeing advertisers imply that fathers/men are incompetent.

I'm back. Had to step away to get Colleen and Annie in the bathtub, and in the true nature of advertising with respect to fathers, I handed them a hair dryer...

Anyway, I'm sick of this. If I had enough money, I'd dedicate my finances to changing this portrayal. The Orbitz add shows a man, labeled as a "worker" of some sort, and a woman described as a worker and a mother balancing her life. Of course the woman comes out on top in the add, and the man, who is shown as incompetent from the time he crosses the screen, can't deliver. How come the man isn't shown as a worker and a father? Tell me I'm wrong. Is it really true that most fathers are not involved in their family's life? Regardless, I'm disgusted, and as the only decision maker in this family who decides where the money is spent, it won't be spent there...

Currently damaging myself with some inane task at the house that only a woman could do correctly...
