I was just reading Ellie her bedtime story, in which Tuffy the pony reeeeally wants to go into the Dark Forest but his mom tells him that he is not old enough. Of course, as expected, Tuffy does in fact venture into the Dark Forest.

As soon as I read this bit, Ellie goes, “Well THAT was stupid.”

people are boycotting the Kraft commercials for the “Zesty” salad topping because it features a topless man in compromising situations.

people are boycotting it because it sexualizes a man. 

people are boycotting a commercial that features one of the oldest marketing strategies because this time it’s a man being exploited. 

So Kraft is one of my company’s clients, and ever since they began the “Zesty Man” marketing campaign, one of my bosses has been taping the posters on her office door with a sign that says “I support our clients.”

Benefit of working in a mostly-female office, maybe?
