These are two commercials for Snickers featuring female celebrities. One features Betty White, as a guy who is hungry and returns to normal with Snickers. The other features Aretha Franklin as a 'diva' and Liza Minnelli. I would be okay with these commercials if they featured a male celebrity. I am not calling them sexist, because it probably was not their intention. For me, it unintentionally features that men can become feminine and inappropriate behavior for men if they are hungry, hence they become women. Okay, maybe it's a little sexist. If they had an old male celebrity (like Abe Vigoda at the end of the White ad) or a jackhole and say they are acting like a jackhole, it would be more even.Explaining the title: I am forty-something Latino who has a fondness for the Japanese culture and speak Spanglish--Spanish and English. Some people say "Span-English" so I mixed it with "Engrish," which is how some Japanese pronounce English.

I don't like how only female celebrities are in those Snickers commercials and treated negatively
