Maybe she doesn't want her daughters to see it because it's a headless, bodyless pair of breasts which is extremely sexist advertising? And the idea that you need to enhance yourself to be beautiful and subscribe to the ideal of a perfect women is like, really fucking harmful for teenage girls?

Internalizing messages about what women's bodies are supposed to be and how they're objects of public ownership, most likely.

Thank god - I thought it was just me. That smile, the slightly aggressive guitar playing and the gentle way he admonishes the cat and um, well . . . it got hot in here for a minute.

The fact that this guy keeps playing despite numerous bites on the hand is pretty metal though, right?

They didn't even go that far when they retracted the photos they posted of a woman being raped, so that's hardly some big exception, really.

I mean, was it though? I don't remember a former apology from Jezebel staff admitting they were asshats and completely out of line.

Maybe they're just chalking it up to "lessons learned"?

Why oh why do we never ask what the actual participants in any given photoshoot think? Maybe they found it amusing. Maybe not. But can we stop treating them like objects while we argue that they're being objectified? They have volition, they chose to do this, let's ask why.

First, lest I be accused of "hating," every SNL cast member featured looks great, albeit suspiciously pore- and hairless, thanks to a little heavy handed airbrushing (irritating, but par for the course for a magazine like Cosmo, which can't exactly be expected to be party in shattering a Photoshopping culture it…

As a teacher of teenagers, I've found that a LOT of detail generally means a lie when it comes to giving excuses for not handing in homework.

Thank you for the acknowledgement; mistakes happen in writing all the time, and I can only imagine how stressful it is to have any error immediately broadcasted to thousands of people. I think commenters on Jez (like myself) get frustrated when we feel as if these issues, which are often discussed by the Jezebel…

Hi, I'll acknowledge it! It actually wasn't meant to be a rape joke, but rather it was supposed to tie into the first paragraph about being tortured/executed (not much better, I know). Still, I understand how people read it that way and can see in retrospect that it was sloppy and insensitively written.

There is no place on Earth less qualified to "school" anyone on racism than Jezebel.

Was hoping for a twist ending.

Well, actually, a lot of people would do just that......google the Milgram Study or Milgram Experiments. It's been replicated multiple times, outcomes' are pretty much the same: people will follow people who look like/act like they're in positions of authority.

Do you watch the show? Mindy Lahiri is a bit of a drama queen; it's totally in her character to amplify the drama of not getting a Friday night off to having her weekend raped. Is she a character you want to emulate? Of course not. Is she a real person? No. Your headline is misleading and irresponsible. Libel! Great…

Shrug. I liked the commercial.

So basically this ad just proves that the placebo effect still exists.

Therefore "technically" your headline is misleading clickbait.
