the suicidal pig bothers me more than the MEAT ad....it just bugs me....but i of course wouldn't let my personal views interfere with what the community wants (except in rare instances :) ---this isn't one of 'em!

i like the listerine shaving cream too...that made me think of a lysol douche ad, but do we wanna see that all the time? (well i mean i think most of us view via our friend's page...but still...)....

my mind went WAY down the gutter for the lysol douche mention...

but honestly, i think we could pass on anything meat, since it *can* be really bothersome/hurtful to some people. and i'm ok with sticking to ads that don't trigger people (although that jello salad... *shudders*)

yay for objectifying men in underwears too!

meat ads are posted in the community....we have BBQ weekend---and to be fair we have vegan/vegetarian weekend too!!! i think the meat ad is a good example of 'what were they thinking?!'

ACK!!!! flashback to the trigger warning dramz we had here!!! ACK!! that _______ trying to post a horrible ad---i mean i dunno what country or kind of back alley magazine would publish an ad like that, wait i do ::shudder:: and they threw a hissy fit when i rejected it claiming they had put a 'trigger warning' for 'rape, sexual exploitation, violence' so it should be FINE...then they ARGUED with me that every other site has trigger warnings, i needed to have them and they could post that....nope, no way no how...since that was via email, my mod hat slipped and they got some unfiltered language --oh dear, me swearing! but yeah....i know i announced to the community we would never have trigger warnings because we weren't going there....

then we did discuss putting racist ads behind a cut but decided that they should not be, as that was a form of censoring and no matter how abhorrent they are, it is part of advertising history and 99.999% there are discussions on those ads about how far things how come (though i think we're taking a few steps back in some parts of society, that's another rant).....

ACK! how in the hell did i ramble on like this?!?! i gotta go to bed!! rewording more songs and i have a research project to work on tomorrow (that i was not planning on, but it came up today)....i will email you about that in the next day or two, i cannot currently discuss it publicly....

i was trying to 'represent' hump day hunks....i didn't want to include a sexist ad against women because there's a plethora of them on the internet...i tried to find ones that aren't particular ad nauseum all over, ya know??

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

any of the cannon wartime ads would cover humpday hunks, honestly.

and of COURSE i welcome your emails, dear!

now get to bed, and sweet rest to you. :)
