A rough overview on recent “Dumb Dads” portrayed in media

All dads aren’t dumb. Much the same way that all women don’t drive poorly and all blondes aren’t airheads. Likewise, all Asians aren’t smart and all black people can’t play basketball.

But enough about blonde Asian women that can’t play basketball; let’s chat about why the media thinks that all dads are dumb. As a dad, I do love a good joke and have been told that I have an engaging sense of humor. Having said that, let’s take a look at some examples that make us think that broken hearted college girls are shaping some media decisions lately.

I’m busy. Oh, I could fill a blog full of the mindless gunk that fills my day up, wait, I already do that.
