Finally, Truth In Advertising! Hail To The All Powerful Vagina!

Its incredible how gutsy the ad firms are getting nowadays. That commercial is funny and historically accurate. Like the love of money, the love of punani has the been the root of many a conflict over the centuries. But you have to admit that its pretty good thinking to link it to feminine hygiene in a sort of tongue in cheek way. "Hey ladies, take care of your cooters, it's important to us all." is the clear message and its funny cause its true.

What I also find most interesting is the women of color shown. Usually these kind of commercials show white women and I guess are aimed, at least unconsciously, at that demographic. Which pretty much ignores the fact that there are other women in the world with working vaginas who could use their product.

I hate hate this ad. "Women all your power is in your vagina, and it STINKS it should smell like strawberries!!"

And now...with added racism, too:

"Another trio of commercials in the same campaign is not so much faux-empowering as just plain condescending. Narrated by a sideways talking hand-turned-vagina (ladies’ “vertical smile”), they ask women to “show a little love” by soaping up with Summer’s Eve wash in the shower. The series aims for a “between us girls” vibe, like you and your vagina were just catching up over a morning latte.
That’s not to mention the outrageous racial stereotypes the ads use, in a woefully misguided attempt at being inclusive of women of color. As Jessica Valenti put it,
White vaginas hit the gym, vagazzle and say BFF a lot. Black vaginas care about their hair, hitting the club and do neck rolls. Latina vaginas say “aye aye aye,” “boo,” and are concerned about tacky leopard thongs. Did I miss anything?"

 

Oh, I SO hate that commercial.
