This just isn’t right, not at any time or circumstance. Yet, these witty ad-wizards have decided that sexism sells and are trying to promote a translation device that allows you, as demonstrated, to creep on non-English speakers.
Awesome.
Cringe worthy to say the least.
One always hopes to find argument in the religious arsenal that is somehow more compelling than: “I believe in X, and that is enough”. The argument portrayed here might be considered ground zero for the silliness the religiously deluded foist upon others in order to win them over to their cause.
I didn’t think we’d have start at square zero…
The Simon and Garfunkle green greatest hits album was the very first piece of music I acquired on Compact Disk. I can still remember receiving for Christmas a portable stereo system with the newfangled technology known as a “CD”. Oh, what aural experiences were to be had. :)
I’ve heard many covers of the Sound of Silence and was expecting a three minute tour on the good ship ‘Fail’, but was pleasantly surprised by this song. The lead singer of Disturbed has a surprisingly rich and emotive voice, it just never comes through while he sings in the other style that one might say is a smidge more raw.
Cultural analysis at its finest.
“Cultural mythology is often used in this way to distort what goes on between subordinate and dominant groups. It enables dominant groups to avoid seeing how much they depend on others to perform disagreeable labor in return for the low wages that help make privilege possible. Members of the upper class, for example, typically are portrayed as ‘wealth producers,’ the ones who build buildings, bridges, and empires, even though most of the work is performed by others, by ‘little people’ who pay taxes and often live lives of chronic anxiety about making ends meet. Donald Trump, we are told, ‘built’ Trump Tower, just as turn-of-the-century robber barons ‘built’ the railroads and steel mills that made vast personal fortunes possible. Entire nations also indulge in this kind of magical thinking. In the United States, for example, we rarely realize how much third world poverty subsidizes our own standard of living. We like to believe that our affordable abundance is solely our own doing, unaware of how much it has always depended on a steady supply of cheap labor and raw materials provided by countries in which much of the world’s population lives in poverty.”
