Sarah Haskins Rips Apart Those Commercials Aimed At Guilty Moms

There's a new episode of Sarah Haskins's Current TV series, Target: Women, in which Sarah makes fun of commercials and TV shows aimed embarrassingly at the female demographic.

If those "mom salute" Tyson ads drive you nuts with their implications, Sarah Haskins is here to sympathize:

If you missed Sarah's Target: Women rant about the strange domination of yogurt, watch it now. It's hilarious.
