The best advice my mom ever gave me was "don't trust a man with a pinky ring". Love her.

God what brats. My mom wouldn't have allowed a snotty apology like that from me. She'd have made me actually apologize for using offensive slurs, not for "responding to comments".
@awer25: Sounds easy - let me guess, your name isn't Muhammad or Faruq.
Ok question for bleach lovers or cleaning mavens - my dishwasher STINKS. I see mildew in it around the bottom (so gross I know). Should I run a cycle with the dishwasher empty except for some bleach? That's what the internet said, but can that be safe? Anyone do something that worked for them??
@embarcadero13: Yes, Jezzies have anecdotal evidence. But my guess is that Clorox has loads of consumer research and sales data. Most big companies like this don't just sit around in a room and launch marketing strategies without data to back it up.
@maribella: Haha that's funny. Washing dishes with Clorox?? I was thinking of putting some bleach in my stinky dishwasher but wasn't sure if it'd be safe - sounds like it would be...
@Azraelle: That's ok, I'm sure people (Latina and otherwise) who don't clean their own homes or buy their own cleaning supplies are not Clorox's target!
Oh jeez. Look, the CMO of Clorox didn't say one day, "Hey, my maid is Mexican and she's been cleaning houses since she was 16! Let's have our new marketing strategy be about cleaning as a rite of passage for Hispanics!" I don't see anything racist about doing research into a growing consumer market and learning how…
@jespree: Awww, that is really touching!
@vamvaki_poulaki: True, but you wouldn't know that by looking at the post ....
@Valkyrie607votesMizJenkins: I LOVED this movie. It made me so angry, but the way they did it was pretty clever. I also recommend it to everyone to illustrate how fucked up the MPAA is.
@HerdingCats: I don't see anyone with hair that obviously took tons of time to straighten. I have hair that's probably a lot like these girls' and it takes me 5-10 minutes to blow-dry it to look that way. I guess to me drying my hair doesn't seem like a major beauty routine.
@bananafishtoday: Thanks, dude. +1 for working "circlejerk" into your comment!
@bananafishtoday: That's actually really articulate and thoughtful, thanks.
@minniebaninnie: Haha as a Duke grad, it's just really funny to hear someone say that, since I know first hand what Shooters is like!
Considering how few comments have been posted in the last 20 minutes, it looks like the moderators have effectively shut down discussion of this post.
@Acefreakly: WORD. Though your comment will surely end up in "complaints", I think it's a really important discussion about when consent is necessary, what constitutes cyber bullying, what is a sexual violation, etc.
@scarletwoman: I, for one, never bothered to read through it because I was so appalled that it was posted and, after scanning the first slide, could see that it was decidedly not funny. But yeah, WTF with the casual racism???
I'm interested in hearing a guy's perspective - any male Jezebels out there want to share their thoughts on this? Do they think it's funny, or would they be humiliated if they were one of these guys?
@Betsy: I don't particularly hate her either, though the document isn't particularly funny and she obviously spent wayyyyy too much time on it. Still, though, I think lots of guys and girls dish to their friends about their hook ups, and yeah, not all of it is complimentary.
