Dov has women blowing boys, and Abercrombie has boys blowing boys — surely someone out there is sitting on a cunninglingus ad campaign. I guess to appease the feminists out there, it is important to clarify, a cunninglingus ad campaign beween a man and a woman! Two woman pleasuring each other would just be too Dov Charney.

It’s not about consent, but message. Listen, black rappers willingly sell horribly racist stereotypes to white America and make good money doing it. Their consent doesn’t change the fact that their message is racist.

Same here. The fact we still use “cocksu**er” and “wh*re” as slurs, particularly against women (and girls) makes this image horribly bigoted. It’s like someone putting a damn watermelon in front of a black person and saying, “What’s wrong with eating fruit?” Nothing, but blacks have long been associated in racist ways with such imagery. The same is true for sexuality and women.

I loathe American Apparel ads as well and I think the owner is a misogynist. However, I recently expressed my hatred of AA to a fashion designer (who happens to be male and straight) and he reminded me that there are tons of girls who send in these suggestive photographs willingly. Sex sells and all that jazz, he said.
I could go into a long feminist spiel about exploitation and ‘choice’ but I won’t.
P.S- I love this site.

If you want fact checking read the NY Times. You may learn something interesting about Saddam’s WMD’s . Bloggers don’t have to fact check. It’s right there in the Code. Check it for yourself.
Tool.

So if it’s not an American Apparel ad, don’t you think you should change the headline?

Headline:
“A-Rod is a Rapist!!!”

Article:
“We’ve since found out that the allegations originally levied in this article are untrue, but we’ve decided to stick with the headline. Below is the article we wrote before we bothered to fact check.”

Now, instead of doing something a little useful, like my job, or a lot useful like commenting on various blogs, I will spend the afternoon daydreaming about blow jobs. Thanks Guana.
