I thought this post was things that are annoying. So I find this adverstisement annoying. It's an insult to women. Why?

Fact:

1) ANZ bank most probably made close to 2 billion dollars profit last year
2) How much of that profit went to young, poor women with one or more children? Maybe they couldn’t get a cheap loan for something?
3) How much of that profit went to poor, Third World women?

My assumption:

1) An advertising company sat down with the director-Jane Campion-and said: ‘Here’s $100,000 Jane, make it good but here are some stipulations;


· Include kids, because everyone loves kids.

· Make the children look middle class or above

· Include some ethnically diverse kids because in this multicultural society where everyone has ‘rights’ and the only ones without rights are the poor, so make it look like we believe in meritocracy.



So, I think this piece of crap is a joke. A joke to women .Maybe women who earn over $150,000 a year might get it. I’ve noticed more ads lately talking how women are always behind the eight ball. Saying there’s a glass ceiling everywhere they go. So they’ve started making ads on television that are blatantly anti-male; trying to get women to unite. Why? Well I’ll tell you why. Two things. One is that they’ve worked out that women are more racist than men. A white, heterosexual woman will get the hump if she sees advertisements on television with a white guy and say an Asian woman. So they make ads that show all the ‘sisters’ together in one happy ethnic melting pot; all against men. Two, it is a fact that the ‘powers to be’ see men as a threat to the status quo. This is because men have more of a tendency to get violent so they are trying to create an ‘anti-male’ atmosphere of unquestioning sub-servitude.
I see. I Googled Equal Future to see what ANZ is doing and it mentions that they will donate up to $100,000 toward International Women's Development Agency in the Asia Pacific region... a place where typically women's rights haven't been very well recognised.
So while their advertising might have (possibly) been reaching a targeted audience, and while it is also advertising for their own company, I definitely would not say that their efforts were entirely without merit.
