Rose Petal Cottage gets a sister in sexism: Sweet Lily Castle

I’m sure you remember the epically sexist Rose Petal Cottage commercial. About five minutes ago, during a commercial break from Heroes (yes, I like the show) the ad comes on again. I’m already pissed, thinking that this stupid commercial should have been complained off the air months ago. Then something incredible happens. At the end of the standard ad (above) a quick promo for Hasbro’s latest disaster, the Sweet Lily Castle, is tacked onto the end.
I can’t remember what it said word-for-word, but I swear the last sentence was about letting her have a place where she “can wait for her prince.” Seriously. I mean, the frigging castle even comes with a frog to kiss. I think I need to go to bed early tonight. Sigh.
