Suzanne Researched This Commercial
The Spot: A title card reads “The Debate.” We fade in on a couple standing in their kitchen, arguing about whether to buy a new house. The wife is the aggressor; the husband has his doubts. “Suzanne researched this,” says the wife in exasperation. As we’re wondering who Suzanne is, the ad cuts to an image of the couple’s kitchen telephone. “This listing is special, John,” says the voice of their real estate agent over the speakerphone. “You guys can do this.” The husband caves. “This is awesome,” says the wife. We see a picture of the agent’s Century 21 business card.
“The Debate”: It’s terrifying. The problem lies in the performances. That beleaguered husband, dough-faced and weary, seems highly sympathetic as he expresses a few doubts about this major life decision. Meanwhile, the wife (who looks like a more hostile Mary Louise Parker—though she lacks MLP’s patented bone-dry delivery) just knits her eyebrows at the guy like he’s unfathomably dense. Later, she jabs him with an accusatory “What?!”—her eyes wide and wild, her neck muscles flexed, her head twitching in disbelief at what a ninny her husband’s turned out to be.
The capper comes when their real estate agent, who we discover has been listening in on what should be a private and delicate moment, takes sides with the wife and thereby crumbles the husband’s defenses. Don’t listen to her, John. Of course your agent wants you to buy a house you can’t afford—she gets a bigger commission!

There is a reason …
There is a reason why in ancient society a man had to be bribed to marry a woman with a “dowry”. Back then you got :1)a trained domestic woman 2)a cook 3) a virgin 4)a mother for your children 5)no such thing as no-fault divorce(aka I’m bored and need new cock)
Today?
1)With modern tech they still complain about their “hardships”
2)Fast food anyone?
3)Check the std statistics
4)Feed them a happy meal and plop them in front of the tv
5)Get half,take your children, and debt till you die

B-E-T-A. The four …
B-E-T-A. The four letters that caused the housing bubble and subsequent bust in this country. I’m all for marriage and husbands listening to their wives, but they’re the first officers and you’re the captain. When they’re making a bad call, tell them you’re doing it your way and for her to return to her post. They’ll love you all the more for having a spine… especially when you make a good call.

There’s a reason why the oldest cultures are patriarchal, they’ve had thousands of years of experience with this

Canadians would …
Canadians would love this commercial, and it would certainly have the desired effect on the population. In the States, this clip is an utter joke. Here in Canada people are falling to this type of advertising. Fellow Canadians: Keep making the same mistakes that our neighbours down south made. Debt? What’s that? Bubble? What’s that? 5%/35yr ? no problem! Very soon the bubble will burst, people will wonder how in the world they fell for this crap, and I….. I’ll be a happy vulture.

I am a US Army veteran. I defended my country proudly and served many difficult days and nights so that people could have the freedom to say these awful things you are saying about women. I have had to make my own way through life since the age of 14 when I became a foster child. Now my husband and I are proudly raising our children to become wonderful human beings who respect all regardless of gender or color. Please think twice before saying such hurtful things.

Disagree. Womens right to vote, enabled the feminist
movement, as women vote in blocks, to
the left, and vote on womens issues typicaly.
Meaning it’s easy to sway women with PC BS..
Women also outnumber men, in the USA, you don’t think that
will affect voting? Feminism, sucks. But could never have taken hold
as it has, without womens right to vote..

Fast-forward to today’s conversation:
Husband: Our home’s down 50%, we’re $300K below water, you’ve lost your job, we’ve blown our savings, and we can’t even short sale this debt trap!
Wife: I TOLD YOU NOT TO TO BUY THIS HOUSE.IDIOT! WHY DID I EVER LET YOU TALK ME INTO IT! I HATE YOU! AND I’M SLEEPING WITH YOUR BROTHER!
Ring!
On phone,”Hi guys, it’s Suzanne!!! How’s my favorite couple ? Ready to trade up to a nicer home?”
