Let's Order a Pizza

While watching television, a commercial came on advertising the Digiorno Pizzas. It showed a man and two of his friends watching a sports game outside and they had the bright idea to order a pizza. The guy who lives at the house they were watching the game at pulled out his cell phone and called his land line phone to speak to his wife who had just gotten back from the grocery store. She answered the phone and he began talking to her like he was talking to someone who worked at a pizza shop and was ordering a pizza, he told her how he wanted it cooked, what toppings to put on it, and to make it snappy. And to this man's orders, she made the pizza and brought it out to them. At first this is a bad enough statement of how men have been allowed to order their wives or females in general around and serve them as they please. But then this commercial gets worse when she actually makes the pizza and brings it out to the men like she should be their servent or something. And she doesn't even seemed bothered by the fact that her husband orders her to do something like this for him and his lazy friends. These types of commercials on our televisions are what is shaping the next generation and had I been the one who was called and ordered to make a pizza I would have made him get up and do it himself. She just got back from the grocery store, maybe she wanted to sit down and watch the game herself.
