Best Buy on drag

I have been requested to not abandon my blog. And I'm all about what the public wants (ha!), so here I am.

However, I've gotten quite used to microblogging, so I will keep it short. I think that's best for the sake of actually updating this thing.

Today's subject is another request. I found this god awful thing in an ad of Mexico's biggest newspaper (big as in famous, the actual newspaper is regular-sized).



I'm a huge fan of Bestbuy. It's one of those stores that we didn't have here and I always enjoyed going to when in the US. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard Bestbuy was opening a store in Mexico. Of course, I pictured a store full of cold electronics and gadgets, like the one I knew and loved, but some GENIOUS decided to turn Bestbuy into some kind of... 'chic' blender store?! FOR WOMEN?! Have you actually seen a woman at Bestbuy?! Seriously!! (hmm, ok, that was an exageration. They do sell those little keychain frames from the TV ads, so I guess women buy it and cry).

I quote the newspaper ad:

Let's face it, home is a space governed by us. Yes, we agree, men can throw in some ideas and an opinion, but the ones who set the rules (it actually says: 'grab the pan by the handle'), generally use a skirt and high heels.

Nature is wise and it created us this way. We are practical, fun, dreamy, hard-working, mothers... we do many activities in one day and do them right. That's why we need solutions that make our lives easier, more comfortable.

Create a new lifestyle with the products you love! At Bestbuy we have everything you need to reinvent your home!

Is that the most backwards paragraph you've seen in your life or what. The worst thing is that the idiot who wrote this actually thinks he/she's a genious right now 'cuz they're 'appealing to women'. I'm not even gonna comment any further on this. I wanna hear your thoughts.

C'mon Bestbuy, just stick to what you know. I'm not gonna go to your store to buy a blender. A new webcam or a videogame, on the other hand...
