Dads in the Media

I read the article about Dads in the media portrayals, and I wanted to share my thoughts. Sure any stereotype is unfair but with all the female and mother portrayals over time it is only right that there is dad ones too. I feel that TV shows, ads, and movies make it a point to use this father portrayal for humor. They make dads out to be lazy, beer drinking, poker playing, irresponsible men. That's not my dad at all. Sure he drinks beer and watches football, but he is fun loving, nurturing, and hard working as well. The classic Al Bundy and Homer Simpson dad exists in society I'm sure, but it cant be the majority. I feel it is over used simply for comic relief.
