KFC: Taking the "Meat Market" to New Lows →
stfusexists:
This was sent to me by alphabetics who writes, “Not sure if you heard about this. I’m sure this is just the kind of thing you’ll love.(Also someone should make some official sarcasm punctuation because sometimes that doesn’t translate well on the internet. You won’t like this one little bit.)”
When I clicked on this link, my eyes rolled so goddamn hard one of my contacts got...

Billboard Liberation Front: "Stella Artois, A... →
This link was submitted by reelaroundthefountain. I love activism like this. I’ve just spent a good chunk of my morning on their website. Bliss!
Anonymous asked: I happened to see this in my facebook feed today and, while it's not the focus of this blog, I thought you guys might find it interesting to see an interesting difference in approach to gender and how one presents oneself in a social media setting.

Besides being incredibly badly coded, the game features their character, Tofu Boy, attempting to rescue Bandage Girl (Meat Boy’s love interest in the original game) from...

More information on that fake Puma ad
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous has sent me two links pertaining to the apparently unofficial Puma ad that myfavoritesexistads and I both ran last week. Here they are:
Museum of Hoaxes: Fake Puma Ad Mystery Solved (Jan 31st, 2006)
Slate: Puma’s Problem (April 15th, 2003)

mssswitch asked: Hey, I just wanted to add something small about what byakkoyanomusume said about cleaning stuff ads. Some of them have men in them, like the Cillit Bang ads, but what are they doing in the ads? Telling the women how to use them properly. The silly women are ~amazed~ at how amazing and marvellous the product this wonderful man is giving them. It's our job to clean, but we need the menz to tell...
