Would you buy lamb if a cis white dude wasn’t selling it to you?

If you’ve flown recently, you can likely rattle off a litany of complaints about fees, airport security, seat size, delays, general grimness of the experience—so many pet peeves to pick from.

Who would have guessed that an industry like advertising would have a problem with sexism? Now that’s sarcasm, Donald Trump.

In a recent Facebook post, Victoria’s Secret shared a photo of a model wearing their mesh-back cheeky panties.

This is a really incredible unforced error: Sixt, a rental car company you’ve never heard of, made an ad encouraging Caitlyn Jenner to “try this crossover,” which is a type of car and also a tasteless joke about her transition.

Last week, teens all over freaked out about the “Charlie Charlie” challenge that had something to do with pencils and summoning a demon to answer your questions. A Mexican demon. Named Charlie.
