Men's Wearhouse has a new commercial, promoting their tuxedo rental service to high school boys who are prom-bound. The ad shows a boy rejecting his mother's choice of a "traditional" tuxedo in favor of a "modern" (which is to say, totally inappropriate) one. That part is offensive enough, but at the very end of the commercial, the voice-over reminds mothers that what they should be worrying about is what the girl is wearing. Then we see an adolescent girl in a sexy (but tasteful) dress getting out of a limousine.

Here we go again. Those poor boys--they're just victims of the evil power of female sexuality. Don't teach your son responsible maintenance of his sexuality: just watch out for those girls.

About that commercial--if you are a woman with half a brain, I guarantee you'll hate it.
