I'm not sure if Lieberman will attract lib blog readers to buy a product, but this is a creative ad. We had some yo yo weather here, up around 60, down around 20. And, it will be in the 30s, 40s, and 50s the next few days. Feels a lot like ... Easter?
Talking about clothes related subjects, Broadsheet over at Salon is getting bitchy:
At the heart of what bugs me about the Clothes That Got Me Laid is the lip service it pays to third-wave feminism. Contrary to popular stereotype, the movement isn't just about wearing makeup and sleeping around. It's about individuality, freedom and personal agency.
As some of the comments noted, it is partially about that all the same. Just ask the women at Feministing. One female response:
when i was in college if we wanted to get hit on, we wore our best fitting jeans and a stretchy tight low cut shirt that we called "the boob shirt".
if we didn't want to get hit on, we threw an oversized plaid flannel shirt over the boob shirt.
smells like teen spirit.
Some responses were of the "hey, it's just about the pussy" variety (on that subject ... I include this partially since I always thought his name brought to mind "vulgar," so why not go with it?), which is stupid. Next up, makeup? Heck, I don't care about makeup. Just a set of tits!
Anyway, as one reply noted, the piece was just what the linked blog wanted -- attention! Plus, it is fun. We are often serious here at JET, but we are all for fun too. Our email address is not exactly formal. BTW, I referenced Feministing above, and some of the women there are clearly sex friendly, but sometimes they are a bit too serious about themselves. This too, even if non-PC, can be fun. See, e.g., some of their examples of sexist products.
Meanwhile, the blog recently linked the latest from the consistently amusing "Target Women" gal.
