Its a horror movie take for a golf club...it was not "it's okay to hit women" it's a "Our golf club is so good it will drive you "HERES JOHNNY!" mad" People are stupid...Worse than my grammar...  |

What people should be mad about is how bad the entire idea and execution of the commercial was. |

| The shove is a non-issue to me. Whover signed off on the ad, as well as the entire team that developed it, should get pink slips for putting together such an objectively bad advertisement. Bad acting, bad camerawork. Its embarrassingly bad. |

Thanks for the explanation, because I didn't get it. I don't play golf, and I fail to see how that commercial is supposed to make me want their new driver. It's just dumb. If I was in charge at Calloway, people would be getting fired. Not for being insensitive, or non-feminist, or whatever, but just for having atrociously bad taste. |
Don't piss off old people. The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.

I think that it’s pathetic that people get triggered over shit like that But I could have told Callaway that people would ABSOLUTELY get triggered over that. How the fuck could they not see that coming? |
You should move to the right lane, where the rule of vehicle and traffic law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and the left lane is the land of wolves now.

That ad sucks. It’s just dumb. Other than that, the outrage is fucking dumb too |

Not offended in the least, but you gotta be some kind of stupid to think that video was going to go well for you. Seriously. Problems come free of charge in life, there's no sense in pulling an unforced error like that. How about showing something that takes quite a bit more courage and shows the conviction they were going for, like... EVERYTHING stay the same as the original video, only Small guy knocks down Muscle-head. But a Guy knocking over a Girl? And spending money to turn that 'brilliance' into a video?!?!?! Darwin Award worthy material right there. |
"Some of the greatest dads I've ever seen weren't so much perfect as they were willing to work hard to overcome their failings. Does that make sense?"
Yes. Yes it does.
