I saw this commercial tonight, aaaand. Look, I’ve seen a lot of this bullshit, everyone has, I’ve gotten angry over it so many times, I’ve had discussions, I’ve written emails—but something about this one just really set my gag reflexes going. Maybe it’s because today was a day where I heard one douche remark too many, or watched the news for too long, read a bad book and ate a bad sandwich, but I really, really want this to not exist anymore. Now, I’m not—I know it’s like, 3 AM and I’m riding on RAAAAAGGEE!!! adrenaline high and am having fantasies where I march over to whatever PR agency tomorrow and roundhouse the shit out of some dickbags, and that not much can be done etc etc. But, guys, if you watch that and you agree that this kind of representation is not cool (see vid below for further explanation as to whuaaay), take a moment to flag it. Or, if not that, maybe go back to a commerical/ad you walk into every day where you live that’s driving you up the wall, reblog it—god knows I can name a freaking million off the top of my head. OR JUST WATCH THE FOLLOWING BECAUSE IT’S ARTICULATE AND SMART AND IT CALMS ME DOWN. So if you feel like I feel, i.e. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore, MAYBE HEARING THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN TALK WILL SOOTHE YOUR SOUL AS WELL?
