What in the name of fuck is this bullshit?

LOL good thing I never liked Dr. Pepper?

At first I was going to say “you know, that was a really stupid ad, they cut their sales in half..”

BUT THEY DIDN’T.

Because women, being as “I do what I want” as they are, are going to drink this, just to prove them wrong, and men, men are going to be like “I’m drinking a man’s drink, boo ya.” Now they won’t say this, but subliminally, this is what’s happening.

Smart marketers are smart, I should go into marketing.

still bitter and annoyed that there is a sacrifice of gender ethics in order to make the sale. it’s ridic that society and teh world of marketing still functions on the basis of “women can’t do this” or “men can’t do that,” and that it works incredibly well on the mentalities of people. so even if it still is effective in bringing in the cash - it doesn’t make it okay or at all acceptable.

blurgh.

then i think of pepper potts and her being miffed (come on. it’s hard not to. especially with those IM promos they did on Dr. Pepper). and then tony, rhodey, and happy never, ever bringing her dr. pepper soda ever again. and i’m just kind of amused by that image, before going back to being all “WHY LACK OF GENDER EQUALITY. WHY”
