yes, yes, hiatus... (#1059933) but we can't stay away when it's this good.
For roughly a decade, brands insisted on telling us what we should find sexy—stretch marks, back rolls, visible panic disorders—whether we liked it or not.
The body positivity movement told us, loudly and constantly, that everyone is beautiful, that all bodies are worthy of the spotlight, that a triple chin was not only normal, but empowering.

"Obesity wasn’t a health crisis, it was an identity."

It's was a little bit why the left is dying (read: is a mental disorder).
now here comes Sweeney, basking in her exceptional, remarkable, jaw-dropping body. Selling sex and looking like an unreformed Victoria’s Secret Angel, draped across a convertible in low-rise denim. Saying: Yeah, I’m lucky, I got really, really good genes.
(The ad made a pun on genes/jeans)
PERFECT line in there, too, about "making bank." TOTALLY LOVE IT
Oh and Trump trolling it on IG is a 10-pointer right there. Owning the libs by the commander in chief isn't something I would have guessed five years ago (yes yes, it was his son sharing it, OK fine still funny)

It's never a great plan to go up against base human desires. The nanny sensibilities of many on the left will hopefully be their undoing.

That ad is so tame compared to what used to be normal too.

Strange that we've gotten more prudish over time. In the '90s it felt like we were headed for Babylon...

Hell, in the '80s, we were told that "nothing gets between" a fifteen-year-old Brooke Shields and her jeans.

I never thought it would come from woke scolds but it also seemed like a course correction had to happen eventually.
We were pretty close to straight up pornographic fast food ads.

Those were the best of times.

I’m not saying they weren’t. I just had a sense that it was unsustainable.
My take away after finally getting into the fold about all the noise.... Everyone wants to fight about every little thing... My life was as enjoyable before I found out about this as it is right now. Why, because I don't give a shit to fight for or against something so stupid. Most people involved or engaging all have a motive... Financial and/or attention... Stop giving it to them.
