You're absolutely right - it is indeed a very sexist advert.

Of course, I think that's the point - being stupid and sexist to shock people into paying attention.

I think it's more about the fact that he is riding on a scooter rather than her driving. A scooter is far, FAR, from manly and no man in his right mind would ever get on one. Unless he really had to.
Only a severely non-manly man would be afraid of riding a scooter.

A truly masculine man would know that his masculinity won't get threatened by whatever vehicle he happens to ride at the moment.

Actually, those things annoy the piss out of me to. I realize that they're trying to be funny, but that doesn't make it any less obnoxious.
Also, and I realize that I will likely get hit by a mod-hammer for this, why did the OP get a warning? They were just voicing their opinion. Having a mod attack them seems a little absurd.

Naw, I get what you mean. The adds are obnoxious and should have been cycled out about a month ago.

Yeah the Slim Jims Adverts freakin piss me off and haunt me. I also really find them offensive as they are sexist. Cause to me it's saying only men should eat these for they are a sure fire way to renew your manliness.

Here's a fun fact I'm female and I used to eat these as a teen that was until the grease in them got too much for me and would make my stomach churn (it also left a horrible greasy after taste in my mouth).

Another fun fact is that just as I clicked on this link then turned on Zero Punctuations the version with the I.C.U. popped up

Dude, I am quite camp and even I think I'd take the piss out of a guy riding on the back of his girlfriend's scooter. Its funny. Get a grip. If you wanna harp on about ridiculous and annoying symbols of sexism at least pick a decent target like Sex and The City.

I quite like the Slim Jim ads D: They're so much better than seeing the same game trailers before every video.

Worst one I can think of at the moment would be Nerfnow

http://www.nerfnow.com/

^Not sure it will show up, but the one of that redhead wearing the 'unzip your genes' shirt with her pants unzipped.

THAT'S what a slim jim is?!? Here in the UK, we use the term "slim jim" to refer to a turd that only takes one wipe to clean. I guess it makes more sense now, actually...

wth... that commercial is just funny. It's just guys harping on guys kind of stuff. Anybody that is OMGIAMOFFENDED over that lighthearted commercial is way over sensitive and I have to wonder how they would handle a real life issue.

You think those Slim Jim ads are bad? Look up any recent Miller Lite ad. They flat out state that drinking any other light beer is unmanly.

To those of you complaining, did a surgeon remove your funny bone when you were younger? It's a joke, you should laugh. Remember laughter? Diaphragm spasm, can't breathe, fun chemicals in the brain. Stop hating on me slim jims and go make me a sandwich already, i assume you feminists remember how to get to the kitchen. :)

The ad obviously did something right, because it has people talking about it. It brings attention to their product, it has fulfilled its purpose. They are just ads people, I don't care if an ad is sexist, racist, etc. you shouldn't let it affect you.

"am I just being neurotic about this shit?"

No you're not, that ad is horribly sexist and I hate it.

Ever ad can be sexist. Deodorant ads for women, Old Spice commercials, ect. I personally think the commercials for Slim Jim are pretty funny myself.

That actually pretty much describes a slim jim in looks and flavor as well.

We have a name for every type of turd, both texture and colour...i usually break the ice at parties with a nice reference to the first dump of the day :)
