Is the New Droid Ad Anti-Women and Anti-Gay or Just Plain Idiotic? Actually, All Three!

What in the world can one make of the new ad for the Droid, the Motorola phone with the Google Android software on the Verizon Wireless network, which apparently put out this commercial? Here’s what: It aggressively calls the Apple iPhone a dumb blonde and then a prissy dude in need of a beatdown. Let’s put it this way: It makes Glenn Beck look like Gloria Steinem and Adam Lambert combined! It is true that sometimes a cellphone ad is just a cellphone ad–but, in this case, sometimes it’s just appalling.
