Infact, many valid points! It is true that I picked up this one aspect - somehow it simply occured to me - probably because I watched the ads in both languages almost one after the other - but yes, there is something so troubling about the fact that even the most pleasant husband has to be shown being "cajoled" to do something which is not his work...isn't it. Regarding the North-South divide, stereotypes become irritating after a point, even if they had some grain of truth originally. Smokescreen, a very valid point indeed. Infact, many valid points!
