Girl Scout Cookie Time

It's like the Girl Scouts are "Pro-Women" or something.

I pulled this image off a facebook post so I am not sure where it came from-credit to wherever that may be.

Roe-aversary

Though I am a day late-that will not stop me from calling attention to the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. On January 22, 1973 the United States Supreme Court established abortion as a constitutionally right. Let's just hope it stays that way. Stop the e.roe.sion.

Sea Sponge Tampons Part I

I promised this topic awhile ago and have yet to deliver the in depth discussion I want to have about Sea Sponges.

I want to direct those interested here first.

The more graphic and user friendly informational brochure can be accessed here.

Remember the disappearing OB Ultra Tampons? A whole lot of other ladies do to...And they aren't having it-Better than OB Ultra? Let me count the ways.

To be continued...

Romney, Legos and Morocco.

Here are a few items you might want to spend your Sunday checking out.

Women's e-news reports on some positive news out of Morocco this past week.

Lego's gets tacky- Five years of research gets pink and curvy.

Mitt Romney-Birth Control is "working just fine".

Dr.Pepper-not for women

I'm never into gender stereotyping. That being said, I'm certainly not a fan of Dr. Pepper's new marketing plan for the 10 calorie version of Dr. Pepper. I've said it before; I don't have a sense of humor so the commercial isn't amusing either. And I am not buying any more Dr. Pepper products.

Watch it

Is the idea that men should drink more diet soda a bad one? I don't know. The research indicates that those who drink diet soda may not see any weight difference because of it and could in fact be doing harm. Go to Google and type in "diet soda makes you fat."

So- the product. The can looks like a bullet- there really is a Facebook page where you can read the Dr Pepper Ten Man'Ments, and it openly excludes women. The Facebook page also has a shooting gallery where you shoot things like high heels and lipsticks-classy.

"Executive vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper, said he's not worried that they'll be offended by the campaign. The drink and marketing were tested in six different markets across the country before being rolled out nationally, and women weren't offended, he said. In fact, about 40% of people who have tried the soda so far are women"*USA Today Article

Well, that's not entirely accurate-Visit Smart Money here.

Also-if you are marketing a product that specifically is NOT FOR WOMEN, why would you have 40% of the people trying the soda be Women and why would you care what they thought? I especially like the Rugby player in the above article who says that no one has ever made fun of him for drinking diet coke-and rugby players make fun of each other over anything.

Boo Dr. Pepper-Boo.
