The Leg-Biting Bitch is Grateful For Advertising. And Cock.

Feb 16, 2009 03:46

Advertising equating food with sex has started to really freak me out and piss me off.

You know, according to our would-be cultural programming we ladies aren’t supposed to indulge in either wanton fucking or wanton eating, because if we do we are in serious danger of nobody ever wanting to fuck us. But we have to indulge in a little bit of both ( Read more... )

stupidity, wtf, swearing, media, feminism

I am sufficiently annoyed by "our food is as good as sex" aspects of those ads. Really. Its not. Stop sullying all the aspects of sensuality by associating them with your cheap ass crap chocolate and wafer biscuits. Or, I dunno, booze. (the ads on bus stops were a lot more vertical, and clear in their suggestiveness).

Yup. I loathe this type of shite and I despair of the people who do it: it's naughty; it's wicked; so tempting; I shouldnt.

Fuck off.

My standard response has become, "If you don't want the cake* then don't eat the cake. If you want the cake then eat the fucking cake. Whichever. I don't care, and I'm not helping you beat yourself up about it."

* steak, pastry, pasta, ribs, chocolate...

* Any aspect of life that is not vital to basic survival.

LOL. I was a one-person only type of the guy and the lady in question didn't want to do certain things (which was cool) but we still managed to do certain things that almost got us in deep shit. People these days have no imagination.

This is the chocolate equivalent of faking an orgasm.

*explodes with mirth*

YES THAT IS EXACTLY IT.

Thank you!

I mean, holy FUCK, the candy SPARKLES.

GLITTER CANDY. NO.

Given that Mica is inedible, that would inevitably lead to sparkly sh*t as well...

it'd almost be worth it for that.

It's any wonder two women find each other, what with all the emotional baggage we're carrying due to modern advertising.

(Might explain m' current sitch.)
