I found this commercial very offensive, not because of the characterization of a menopausal woman but the alternative. To me, the commercial is saying thank god we cooled off this menopausal woman, now she can go back to what she is supposed to be doing. Use satire as much as you want, but their alternative to 'crazy' is the ideal 50s housewife.

It feels like a return to stepford.
