Here's the newest salvo in advertising's never-ending battle of the sexes. Boat maker Nitro brings us a henpecked hero who merely wants to enjoy a peaceful day of fishing. Though if that's the case, it's unclear why he brought along his grating, chatterbox girlfriend. Thanks to fishing forums and pass-around, the ad has racked up a quarter-million views in a few weeks, showing it strikes a chord with the right audience. It has also sparked some fantastic insights by YouTube commenters, such as "Put her in the house waiting for fish to clean and cook" and "ha ha launch that bitch LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO."
