We’re a bit late on this one, we sociologists. If we watched The View, we’d have picked up on it when Whoopi aired it last September. (HT Megan, who was also touched by it, probably more deeply than I was).

On Thursday, lisa posted this ad at Sociological Images, and I’ve watched it at least a dozen times since then.
Despite Lisa’s perfectly valid critique about men and family-work, I still love this ad, and I’m not sure why. Probably because the guy’s performance has absolutely no trace of irony or role-distance. Norms of age and gender be damned, he’s just into it, whole-heartedly and unself-consciously.

The PSA version of "Raise yo kids, raise yo kids, raise yo goddamn kids"?
Anon- I hadn't thought of that. We academics tend to focus on the "read a book" angle.
