JBL's Marketing Blunder..

I bought a pair of the new L52 JBL speakers.  SWEET!  They're really cool and sound pretty damn good. 

My graduation present, way back in the day, from my parents was a pair of the original L100 Century's in blue.  Wish I still had them...

What are you talking about? There's a lot of tongue-in-cheek, but the girls hardly come off as idiots. The one who does all of the talking seems to know exactly what she's talking about.

Anyway, it would be refreshing to see the tables turned occasionally. For many years it has been considered acceptable for women to hit men on TV shows and commercials as well as tell them how stupid and inconsiderate they are.

JBL is a marketing blunder!

 When I was young and foolish, I bought more than one pair in my day. I always got rid of them soon afterwards. There are much better speakers.

I agree with @roxy54, and I don't understand the outrage.  I didn't have the impression that the girls were being portrayed as idiots.  The ad seemed to target young buyers who want an easy, set it and forget it, audio solution that interfaces with a wide range of electronic sources.  

I suggest you watch the 2nd link, the discourse with Audioholics and Emiko (who also hails from pro audio) and see if they thought everything was fine and dandy on this ad. I wonder if Eveanna Manley is on this forum, would be curious to know what she thought!
