Don't tell me a board of executives at Hasbro voted on this commercial. I know what Hasbro was trying to imply. "Boys are tough and so is Tonka". Well Hasbro...You just alienated a mass of female construction workers! In Minnesota, we can see them drive the dump trucks, run heavy construction equipment, and most likely, beat-up a few of your executives at once. Whether Tonka happened to be based in Mound Minnesota, would make interesting research for the causality for the female construction workers and if they played with Tonka as kids. Take a hint! Make Tonka trucks that may be pink in color or otherwise geared toward the ladies. Maybe Hasbro could do some research of demographics, instead of shooting in the dark. Please…and I mean please!
