funny anti-domestic violence psa... I lol'd

well, once you get over the horribleness, it's funny* in the way that those anti-drug commercials are funny. It's just so dumb...



*not really
 
i like the way that the kids don;t react at all, or even seem to realize they're in a commercial

it would be funnier if I hadn't visited an abused womens shelter a few times while doing a project for them... that place made me incredibly sad
 
Those commercials would only be complete if someone burst in with a hunting rifle or something, and blew away the abusive guy. That'd quell my outrage.

the point of it is that he is getting away with it and nobody really does anything, just like happens in the homes of abused wives in many cases... not that this ad is effective in the least.

Except if it happened in my area and I was present for it. I'd rush forward, pull the guy away. Back hand his face a couple times, with a precisely aimed clenched fist to the jaw sending him sprawled on the ground. After that I'd roll him over onto his stomach, and press his face into the hard, hard ground until I saw a pool of blood flow all around him when his nose breaks and his skin gets all cut up.

The sad thing is, i'd be the one arrested, he would walk free.

whoaaa, dude, anger
 
You spilled my coffee bitch!!

I had someone do that to me at Sears. I was carrying this thing FOR the guy over to a register for him to pay, and I dropped it on accident. The guy flipped out and started to shove me. I gave him a quick jab to the face when he came at me again (I mean, what else could I do, he could have had a knife or something) and he stormed off lol.

But that was drugs, this is just anger problems.
 
You punched a guy who shoved you in a store.

You guys are so uselessly violent.
 
Wow that was not funny at all. In fact it angered me. If I ever would see a guy do that I would punch him in the nose as hard as I could and run away after I made sure it was a good hit...if he wasn't on me by then.

You werent there. We have some serious wackos in this place. Someone lady robbed us and shot at our security person when he went out after her. And the guy I was dealing with... he didnt just, you know, give a little push. He shoved me to the ground. He was cussing like a mad man, throwing his arms around erratically, and had a big ass jacket on that could have been concealing anything. And as I said, the dude was deffinately on some sort of drug, you could smell it on him. And I really dont think he knew what he was to here to buy. He asked me what he could "Use to cut up big shit" with. And then he just wanted some tiny little hack saw.

And no, I am not violent. that is the first time I had ever punched someone (not including my fist fights when I was in highschool, since those were just dumb fights and nothing serious). I was seriously scared shitless from that guy then. I stayed off the sales floor the rest of the day in case he came back.

I would defend myself if someone was trying to hurt me. Especially if I thought he might have a knife.

They're not meant to be funny. But if you saw that scene in a funny movie or on the Chapelle Show, you would laugh.

QFT.

If there's anything funny about this then it's the hammy acting, but I think the idea that this kind of thing really happens cancels it out twofold.

And tbh, a guy MIGHT get away with it in a restaurant, unlike what the ad says. I tried to stop some guy slapping a woman near a crowded bus stop once, and got backhanded in the face a few times for my trouble. I appealed to the bunch of people standing at the bus stop to call the police and - was blanked.

I chickened out of taking the guy on in the end, cos he was a huge black guy with funky diamond teeth and a bandana - looked gangstuh. But the woman had run off by then anyway, so I figured I'd done at least enough to elevate myself about the f*cking gutterslime at that bus stop who did nothing but gormlessly look on, even as the guy transferred his attention from the woman to me and came out with a bunch of threats.

I don't get moral about many things, but men who do that stuff need to be erased, preferably along with the people who sit by watching silently in order to save their own skins. Overacting in a cheesy ad or not, I'm not laughing.
 
Part of me wants to post a comment vindicating the guy just to see what kind of reaction I'd get. But I'm not because last weekend my mom saw a guy choking his wife/girlfriend in his car, and she ran up to him and told him to stop. The guy asked if she had a problem, and she replied "Looks like you're the one with the problem." The guy was irate still and sped off.

When my mom told me this story, I was like...."Damn"
 
The male instinct to protect females is quite a strong one, it's also an excuse to beat the shit out of a rival male.

I'd give in to this instinct, if i saw someone beating their wife i'd prob drop them like a bag of shit.

Both is fine, monkeyman.

P.S. Your santa hat is poo stained
 
K, that was about as funny as AIDs. Seriously if you think a woman getting abused is funny, then you have no right to breathe the same air as I do, you worthless ****s.

If I saw that happening in real life I would flip out.
