Summary: This car commercial was shown during the 2010 Superbowl. The commercial pokes fun at the idea of women emasculating men. Women are depicted as nagging relatively powerless men. In the clip, men are redeemed through driving a sports car. The ad makes a clear connection between masculinity and driving fast but also represents the desires of men as antithetical to the desires of women. Therefore, this clip might be useful for demonstrating the social construction of desire as a process that works within a gender binary.

In his classic article, "Masculinity as Homophobia," Michael Kimmel talks explicitly about this sense of powerlessness among men. Kimmel writes that, while this feeling of powerlessness among men is "real," it is not "true" in that it doesn't account for "the social power that men continue to exert over women and the privileges from which they...continue to benefit--regardless of their experiences as wounded victims of oppressive male socialization." A video spoof of the Dodge Charger commercial nicely illustrates Kimmel's claim about the continued privileges and power men enjoy at women's expense.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
