DishNetwork Proomotes Violence Against Men


And, they think it's funny! It apparently matches how at least one of their target audiences thinks about men.

Talk shows, movies, sit-coms, advertisements, even public (funded) service announcements use violence to men in a humourous context. The media bombards young boys with these images constantly, then tells them they are responsible for curbing domestic violence.

In a DishNetwork television commercial for DVR, a man is hit in the crotch with a bat, and it is rapidly re-played while three men laugh & laugh. Is a kick in the "jewels" REALLY funny?

DISH Network serves more than 10 million customers and reaches over 20 million viewers. Let the people at the DISH Network know what you think! Ask them why they think seeing a man get hit in the genitals is so funny. Let us know if they dare answer you.

DishNetwork,

I just saw your latest tv commercial...thanks for ANOTHER example of violence to mens' genitals in the name of humor.
