I remember when a commercial like this would have been pulled off the air

I am disgusted by the latest Charter Communications television advertising spot, which shows two young women eating at a casual restaurant and discussing a movie they missed on Showtime. Out of nowhere comes a psuedo-smooth young man, who forces his way into the seat next to them, literally shoving them over, and explains to them the details of Charter's "On Demand" features.

Do the women say "What the hell do you think you're doing, forcing yourself on us?" No, they giggle. And when he asks them questions, they go all coy and...giggle. They look like passive idiots who are actually kind of pleased that a strange man interrupted their conversation and invaded their space.

And the saddest thing is--I bet most people watching the spot think it is either annoying or cute, but not an insult to women, which it is.
