Do you remember when marketers used to target men? Here’s a commercial for Goodyear that plays to a husband’s fear of his incompetent wife driving. Thanks to the good folks at Reddit, and artfuldodger89‘s brilliantly titled post: “My tiny, inferior female mind cannot understand what this commercial is implying.”

I feel bad that this made me laugh so hard
I watched it 3 times last night. In their entirety.

You have to change the width twice in the embed code. Once at the beginning and once towards the end of the embed code. You can change the embed code width and height to any numbers you like.
