  • The Camp Gyno Tampon Ad

    http://www.policymic.com/articles/57...-seen-as-a-kid

    Am I the only one who finds this ad cringe worthy?

          See, it's not the content of the ad that bugs me, it's the fact that, for the billionth time, selling shit to girls is being called "empowerment". Capitalizing on girls' first periods. Awesome. I call bullshit. That is not feminism.

                Cringeworthy….

                and yet, so is every Cialis commercial.

                What has transporting claw footed bathtubs to a field got to do with not being able to perform? And where did the bath water come from? Was it cold by the time they got in? Maybe that's why Mr. Happy couldn't stand at attention.

                  One of the things that I dislike about the ad is the snotty attitude of the girl. I am so tired of media portraying all kids as brats and consumers endorsing it complicitly. Both of my kids would be in a world of trouble if they behaved in such a way.

                      Yeah, that girl in the ad was an asshole. I intensely dislike when kids are portrayed in that manner.

                        The girl is basically a bully. Besides the weird things she was saying/doing, that aspect really bothered me.

                          I would have hated to see that as a preteen. I'd hate N to see it too.

                            That's what the media thinks is a strong woman apparently. Remove even a hint of femininity and kindness, make her self centered and bitchy and that equals strength. Morons.
