There is a large Christmas ad prominently displayed on the home page of this website which reads, "Santa is mailing a large stack of C.B. Gitty gift certificates this week. (If you want one, tell your WIFE.)" (emphasis added)
I realize the members of this site are like 95% male, but really - way to make the female members of this site feel excluded. Not to mention people who don't have wives.
This isn't the 1950s - the women's revolution happened decades ago and nowadays there are more single people than married people. http://nypost.com/2014/09/09/single-adults-now-outnumber-married-ad...
I'm really disappointed to see this kind of sexism on the Cigar Box Nation.
I would like to see this offensive ad removed immediately, and replaced with something more suitable.
A screen shot of the ad is attached.

Jeepers Wayfinder - we gotta get you a woman !!!! Yer scarin' me !!!
I need emoticons !!!! I need those little smiley, winky, "just kidding" thingies !!!

;-) ;-)
Two blondes walk in to a building, you'd have thought atleast one of them would have seen it!
*ducks and runs*
Well, I'll just say as an ol' timer and long time forum member (Skeesix is part of a small group who may predate me, but I was hanging around before the forum moved from Yahoo as well, and can remember when membership crossed 500 or so.) I have always wished there were more like ya' and wish to remind you the majority may rule, but the minority rocks.
And for the record, I am proudly and happily married to an intelligent and amazing woman who walks beside me in life as my partner and equal. And no she isnt reading over my shoulder........
Live well and be well my friends.
Actually the only reason I commented is because I thought the argument was funny. In all honesty I didn't give the add a second thought. In fact, it didn't even register anything to me but another gitty add. It was your opening post that got me thinking off the deep end. Nothing wrong with having an opinion. Nothing wrong with posting it. Truthfully I'm glad you did. Got the place rocking for a good time now.
And now for more thoughts off the deep end.
Gitty is only selling gift certificates to married people. So you guys that are married, find out which one of you is the wife.
To keep all the end of the year confusion down gitty is only selling gift certificates to women. Men arnt smart enough to handle finances.
CB Gitty is promoting honesty in marriage. an example,
Husband,
"Look honey, CB Gitty is selling gift certificates!"
Wife,
"Why yes dear, he is! You told the truth!"
Both,
"Gonna be a hot time in town tonight!"
'if it were only that easy.............
: )
I'm betting that the Easter Bunny is stressing over how to word his ad...wait...did I say "his"...what is the Easter Bunny anyway?, pretty sure the Playboy bunnies were girls but....Oh crap, now I've offended the Easter Bunny !!! Well, darn, there goes my Certificates
For what it's worth, the ad was removed after Christmas because it was a Christmas ad and had run its course. We will do our best to keep everyone's feelings in mind with future ads and content to prevent anyone having reason to feel offended.
I believe that enough has been said on this topic on all sides, and as such I am closing this thread to further comments.
