Colonial Penn life insurance company advertises on TV. In this ad, 4 women working at a cafeteria line are discussing the benefits of having bought the right life guaranteed life insurance on their husbands because they would have been up the proverbial creek without a paddle if they had not. Please notice the conspicuous absence of men in this picture. One is lead to conclude that women outlive men (100% in this picture) and it is important that men have life insurance to cover the additional years women have on Earth after their demise. I really am at a loss for what to say about this. Political correctness comes to mind. Can you imagine the outcry of there were an advertisement in which a bunch of men were at a job site or worse yet at a ball game being grateful that they had bought insurance on their wives? I did not think so. So much for equality.
