Would you insure these idiotic half-wits? It’s no secret that men can be pretty stupid. In fact, that message has been a staple of television and radio for about 50 years, if not longer. But now, it’s been determined that male stupidity should no longer be insured. Or so 1st for Women’s advertising would have you think. Check out another print ad here, as well as this TV spot. The South African insurance company, which offers coverage only to women, is under the impression that women are a safer bet, insurance-wise, because they don’t put one another in senseless danger. And they’re mostly right. All the same, I hope no one at 1st for Women ever sees this. Via Marketing Post and Ads of the World. —Posted by David Kiefaber
