1. The web site called “Women Get It Free.” I have some friends on Facebook who like it and every day I am treated to updates regarding what they have liked on “Women Get It Free.” It isn’t the fact they’re getting stuff for free that bothers me. It’s the ambiguity of the title “Women Get It Free.” The vagueness of the “It” out of context. I can’t ever see “Women Get It Free” and not think, “Of course women get it free. Sometimes they even get paid to get it.” Because that’s the kind of sicko perv I am.
I think it’s actually a coupon site or something. In which case it ought to make me uncomfortable because it’s sexist. But biology is sexist too, as any women getting it for free (or better) will tell you.
2. This video.
Because it’s clearly satire, but far too pitch-perfect to be humorous.

Is it clearly satire?
I think the “it” out of context is always offensive. But maybe just because I have a dirty mind.

I’d be thinking the same thing about the “women get it free” website.

I’m thankful that I didn’t finish watching that video.

If you didn’t watch it to the end, then you totally missed the rap star in a turkey costume chewing down the turkey leg.
That, and my mom totally has that same mashed potato bowl.

That video makes me uncomfortable. Like foo4luv, I too am thankful that I didn’t finish watching that video.
Also, I’ve now actually unfriended someone due to women get it free ads.

I kept waiting for the climax: that moment when the fresh-faced teenie would actually chow down on a turkey leg. When she tasted the potatoes, she looked like she was about to vomit.
But no teenager actually ate any food. I am so disappointed.

Home from church with a sick baby (again) and was feeling like maybe this time I should be productive instead of spending the whole three hours online. I can’t believe how happy I am to have seen (the entirety of!) that video. Made my day. How can I follow through on my constant request to get my husband to block the internet for me so I can actually get something done when you post this kid of amazing crap? I am so thankful.
