Thank you MetLife for for portraying fathers in a positive light and not bumbling deadbeat fools

Life insurance has always been the one product aimed at men. cars are about 50-50. Everything else? Women. I think Warren Farrell observed this pattern many years ago? These days I'd add that you get ads for drinks aimed at men. At any rate they are just putting their money where their clients are, same as every other advertiser.

Men are supposed to look after everyone else, not themselves, so life insurance is how to do that if you die. So if you think the ads a tear-jerker now, think about this: the point is that the dad is dying.

I've seen it but I still get the feels. Well done MetLife.

and not bumbling deadbeat fools

Actually, I'd imagine a good number of fucked up people would call this guy out as an example of a bumbling, deadbeat loser.

Don't mind me, I'm just here minding my own business, chopping onions.
