COMPANIES DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU. THEY WANT YOU TO BUY SHIT.

Exactly!! Yet every time I point that out on Facebook whenever friends post these ridiculous ads, I get accused of "negative thinking." *Sigh*

Was hoping for a twist ending.

totally. i've struggled with an eating disorder for years and recently my mom said to me "but you are so beautiful and have such a lovely figure." i thanked her but said "that's not really what I need to hear right now. I need to hear that being beautiful and thin don't matter."

Unilever, makers of Dove and AXE Bodyspray.

One thing I hate about all of Dove's Real Beauty campaigns is that they're focusing on what I think is the wrong problem. The fact that women don't find themselves beautiful is problematic only because beauty is seen as the only important thing a woman can be. There are tons of unattractive guys out there and while…

What brilliant psychology major came up with these ideas you ask?

This. It's not because systematic misogyny perpetuated by mass consumer capitalism makes you feel shit, it's because you just need to be in touch with your feels and realise you are beautiful! Now buy more shit.

Stories like this make me feel like we have failed at science education. Besides the fact that this sounds like straight up BS to begin with, none of these women asked critical questions about what was in this patch that they were putting on their body?

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO , ADAM LEVINE! YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD.

I get legitimately bummed that Anna Kendrick isn't in all of the movies.

What does it even mean to be performing at a music festival with a clothing store?

Wait, wait, wait. So not only is Anna Kendrick pretty, funny, and can sing and act, but she can DANCE, too?!

That's why I could never be an actor.

I approve of the quote. Most viewers will understand it to be a kind memorial to the victims, and there's a darker - but important - message for those who are more informed. We should never forget the devastating consequences of mixing fundamentalist religion with desperation.

So by that logic gay and lesbian users should only be charged about 10% as much?

An amusement park with twice as many rides should rightfully charge twice the admission price.

Nothing aggravates me more than sitting at the dinner table with someone who is playing on their phone the whole time. When I was growing up, we didn't even answer the house phone during dinner (get off my lawn!).

The idea that her being younger than him somehow makes their choice to begin a relationship a cliche is kind of the problem. Relationships end. Relationships begin. Bemoaning the "cliche" of the older man and the younger woman is bogus because it reinforces the "he traded in for a newer model" narrative and disregards…

As someone who feels like nobody will ever want to fuck me again now that I'm over 30, this is both encouraging and embarrassing.
