logansrogueMy dear friends, I direct you to the following PDF file:
Case Study of the Crazy Domains Pamela Anderson's Jizzfest Commercial and how it was summarily BANNED.
Apparently, I'm someone with a vested interest so my opinion doesn't count. Huh. Funny that. Imagine, that I have a vested interest in the bodily autonomy of women and how we are represented in society. I'm sure the guys at the Crazy Bromains website are actually talking financial vested interests here. So I'd like to come out and make it totally clear to the ASB (and may I point out that the the thought of them looking at my journal is truly gobsmacking) that I am not a part of any particular interest group. Not a coherent one with a membership drive and aims and all that crap.
I'm merely a feminist, an angry feminist with a blog and a LOT of feminist friends that dislike being objectified as much as I do.
What happened with the Crazy Bromains ad was not an orchestrated attack against the advertisers. It was a bunch of women getting really fucking pissed off and complaining. That's what happens when you try that 70s shit these days. Well, it's what SHOULD happen but there's a backlash going on, don't you know. So I'm deeply satisfied by the results of this case study.
Yes, Crazy Bromains. I got mad, I wrote letters. People can do that in this country (Australia), that's why there's an ASB in the first place. What I was doing was making an effort to defend my rights as a human being. If that upsets you or offends you, I can't help that. If that means you're going to make shit up about me, well - go for it. All anyone has to do is talk to me to know that I'm a stone-cold broke unemployed disabled feminist artist with a lot of time on my hands. I have no money piles to look out for. And if there are money piles, I really doubt that halfpenny web business like Crazy Bromains is really much of a threat.
So, in summary - eat my shorts, guys. Enjoy.
Oh yes, and I have to point out - the wriggling, uncomfortable attempt at intellectualising and explaining the humour of the commercial in that PDF? Seriously amazing. I haven't laughed that hard since, well, watching the Big Bang Theory this afternoon. If you're going to make an ad about tits and simulated cum, put your grown-up pants on and admit it, huh?
