Just so I’m clear: Misogyny in advertising on TV is totally okay. Violence on TV is totally okay. Encouraging people to self-diagnose mental illness on TV is totally okay.
Flipping the bird on TV, though, is totally not okay.
Is that pretty much it?
Okay, that’s what I thought. So, allow me to just say something real quick here, okay?
For fuck’s sake, America, it’s not the 1950s any more. Grow the fuck up.
Seriously. Why aren’t we talking about the teleflora advertisement that none-too-subtly argued that women only have sex to acquire goods and services? How is that less offensive than M.I.A. flipping off a camera?
