There is something conflicted about a society that is increasingly overweight, yet mocks fat people for exercising and makes decent exercise clothes for larger sizes expensive and hard to find. Of course, this is the same society in which the women's magazine covers tout "Lose that Last 10 Pounds" and "10 Best Chocolate Desserts."
Ginger hits it in one.
Society loves status quo. We will revile what we will not tolerate seeing changed. This is why people repeat the same patterns over and over again and why addicts get clean only to go back to the alley. There is HUGE social 'support' for keeping things the way they are.
Screw'em, I say. Choose to be happy anyway. That'll learn 'em. Or at least, that is what works for me.
A lady in front of me was buying zucchini and a bottle of cheap wine one day. I had a hard time stifling my giggles.
ew I just saw Timothy Hutton's Groupon ad.
Yeah, that one was in poor taste I felt.
I liked Eminem's Chrysler ad.
I don't get it.
Because I am twelve, I figured the zucchini was her date. But not really, but by then I had already thought it and the giggles wanted out. I'm pretty sure I contained myself enough that no one else noticed what a perv I am.
I liked Eminem's Chrysler ad.
I played it two or three times on my nice wide-screen monitor.
I think I'd prefer someone thought I was going to crap a lot than I was going to go home and fuck my vegetables.
I don't care either way. I'm one of those who thinks it's funny to buy odd combinations of groceries for the cashier's amusement.
On the other hand, if I were going to the record store for say, Madonna, I'd have to buy some Sex Pistols too to avoid embarassment. (note: this actually happened)
ew I just saw Timothy Hutton's Groupon ad.
Yeah, that one was in poor taste I felt.
Worse than the Elizabeth Hurley Groupon ad? It's been a long time since an ad left me literally slack-jawed, but that one did it. Left me questioning her judgment and my own fondness for Groupon. Not quite enough to unsubscribe, but close. If it's a whole atrocious-taste full celebrity onslaught campaign, I'm going to have to go sit somewhere and ponder Groupon a lot, not in a good way.
