			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Update Again: Salon&#8217;s <a href="http://www.salon.com/ent/tv/review/2010/02/08/superbowl_commercials/index.html">Mary Elizabeth Williams</a> ranks the good, the bad, the wtf:</p>
<blockquote><p>Second, guys, I am really sorry about your penises. You know, the ones we took away from you with our book clubs and our vampire TV shows.</p></blockquote>
<p>Update: Jezebel has a <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/jezebel/full/~3/z1MJKqqe6fU/">whole article</a> on the sad superbowl dudes too:</p>
<blockquote><p>Only a few minutes into the 3rd quarter and it was evident that a theme had already emerged, namely, advertisements aimed at emasculated men and the harpies who have sucked the manhood and life out of them. The pattern kicked off with this Snickers/Betty White ad, and I must admit that I laughed the first time I watched it &#8211; who wouldn&#8217;t laugh at the former Golden Girl yelling, &#8220;That&#8217;s not what your girlfriend said!&#8221; But as the night went on, it became clear that the Snickers spot was the first of many ads starring emasculated males who need to &#8220;man up&#8221; via various products.</p></blockquote>
<p>Buzzfeed has got a <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/scott/misogynistic-super-bowl-ads/">compendium</a> of the commercials trying to sell us sad men stuff. My favorite good commercial from the night, &#8220;The Green Police:&#8221;</p>
