SHOULD BOYS BE ADDED TO THE EASY-BAKE OVEN COMMERCIALS? THIS ONE THINKS SO
McKenna Pope claims that her 4-year-old brother loves to cook and he wants an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas (he also wants a dinosaur). However, the company that makes Easy-Bake Ovens appears to be marketing their toy ovens only to girls. McKenna claims that the marketing is making the young boy feel bad about his desire to become a chef.
Male role models for young chefs are everywhere. Chef Gordon Ramsay has a handful of shows on the Fox Network, Bravo’s Top Chef is of full talented men (and women), and the Food Network– an entire channel devoted to cooking – has a long history of promoting men who cook.
So, the 13-year-old New Jersey girl is petitioning Hasbro Toys to change the marketing of its iconic the Easy-Bake Oven. More
Yeah they should. This isn't the 50's anymore. I used one of those oven once when I was a kid. It was fun. Maybe I could cook better if I used it more. lol
Hell, git the little feller a barbie doll and some tinkerbell undies to. Boys are boys and girls are girls whether its the 1950's or the 2010's. I guess at least in the 2010's him and his domestic partner can both where a apron in the kithen making each other cupcakes.
I'll lay the PC blame on her parents and/or teachers for exemplifying the really important issues in life. Fortunately, her petition's on Change.org, so she should be able to garner the same signatures as Ireton & Co. from the fans.
Ok lets tell a company that spends millions on marketing how to market its product. Sounds like a future politician doesnt it? It takes all kinds to make up this fruity worlkd.
What in the heck is so wrong with kids/people that for every little thing they feel "left out!" Stupid kids/people need to get some confindence and quit worrying about feeling left out. Poor parenting is to blame for this.

ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with those of you who are picking on a boy who likes to cook? Go crawl back under whatever bridge you came from

ReplyDeleteSome of you neanderthals never heard of a male chef? You have got some serious insecurities about sexuality.
