The man who created the first advertisement featuring a bumbling dad has been charged with discrimination by a leading human rights agency.
“People have to realise that not all dads are goofballs. Many are perfectly capable of cleaning a toilet or vaccuuming a rug. The man who created these advertisements, Edgar Hayes, is clearly a monster,” said the agency.
“I’m really, really sorry. I had no idea that an innocent advertisement I created in 1956 for Island Springs Butter would snowball into such a nasty trend,” says the 85-year-old Hayes, who fell over a chair during this interview. ”But it’s not my fault today’s ad people can’t come up with anything original. I’m going to hell for this.”
