The new GameStop commercial really offends me by how sexist it is. For those who haven't seen it, it goes something like this:

Teenager is in his car with a supermodel, she tries to punch him several times but he blocks all her jabs. Teenager and model stop at a GameStop, go inside.

Teenager: I want to trade her in.

Other supermodel is revealed by GameStop employee.

GameStop employee: She's new.

Teenager: I'll take her!

Announcer: GameStop. Buy it. Play it. Trade it in.


I just cringe every time I see that. In this age of insane levels of PC, how did this slip by?

Wow, that's great: a couple of stereotypical illustrations feminine un-intelligence and physical weakness, a helping of sexual objectification, and a big jolly reference to slavery - all in one little commercial!
