Swifter: Man Up is clever, funny, great advertising aimed at men

America loves a good comeback story. Back when the Olympics were on television there was a series of commercials with the tag line ‘Thank you, Mom.  P&G, Proud Sponsor of Moms’.  Prior to that there was the whole Pampers, so easy a dad can do it campaign.  Personally, neither campaign spoke to me in a negative or positive light.  The second one was a bad ad campaign and the first had a bad tag line, but I could understand who they were aiming for.
