I cannot believe how many self identified feminist women go around posting those videos and contributing to this corporate marketing ploy. Each time one of these videos pops up, I want to scream: IT&rsquo;S PROCTER &amp; GAMBLE, FOR CHRIST SAKE! Sure, the guy is good looking and the videos are funny, but why do people check their critical thinking abilities out? This is a multi billion dollar corporation that holds a pretty high responsibility in the &ldquo;state of the world&rdquo;, especially in the &ldquo;state of the world&rdquo; as it concerns women. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Procter_%26_Gamble_brands\">Here&rsquo;s a list of Procter &amp; Gamble owned brands<\/a>. See how many of those are actually part of the advertising industry we regularly mock and criticize for their blatant use of stereotypes and related practices. Also, a very brief (and lazy because I do not feel like researching more right now) list of corporate practices: Procter &amp; Gamble employs animal testing in their cosmetic products; their tampons were involved in a huge controversy in the &lsquo;80&rsquo;s related to toxic shock syndrome; <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.stayfreemagazine.org\/2007\/03\/metamucil_anore.html\">their Metamucil ad campaign was based on promoting the laxative as an aid in eating disorders<\/a> (The slogan? Drop Dead Gorgeous Guts). I could go on, but like I said, I won&rsquo;t go into extensive research.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I am tired of buying into a &ldquo;meme&rdquo; born out of a boardroom. I wish our collective brains didn&rsquo;t shut down at the sight of a guy on a horse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am done with the Old Spice meme.
