commercials for pads and tampons tend to piss me off. “Make your period a happy period!” are you SERIOUS?! *shakes fist at stupid commercial*

i wish (for a wide variety of reasons) that more women were aware of reusable menstrual products. they save money and they cut down on waste. but i imagine that it’s hard to advertise when your products typically last 10+ years and they don’t cost very much to buy.

Bagelsan, that slogan was the first thing I thought of. In a moment of age-related insecurity, I wondered if anyone would even get the reference, but it was too perfect not to mention.

I love you, too, but then I have a tendency to fall hard for anyone who knows what I’m talking about.

Ughh sooo tired of the over(mis)usage of the word über by English speakers. As a German major and language nerd, it irks me.

This is strikingly similar to some of the advertisements I’ve been seeing for breast cancer cause related marketing products, wherein cancer is anthropomorphized as something that will be “beaten” or fought with using donations for research.

I don’t have it scanned in, but perhaps the best example is the Fuze Empower ad, part of Fuze’s “slenderize” line of beverages, which shows a picture of the bottle, with the text “Be Afraid, Breast Cancer, Be Very Afraid.”

“Always Infinity“? Do they expect you to hemorrhage the entire contents of your torso into this thing? (Yeah I know it *feels* like that sometimes, but really… :p

(And I love you, HP.)
