Tomorrow is International Day of the Girl and Mattel is marking this special occasion by trying to sell us some Barbies. Or some dreams. Or some feminism. Or some empowerment.

Once, you were young and your heart was an open book.

Matt LeBlanc’s CBS comedy Man With a Plan premiered on Monday night to okay ratings, according to Variety, which reports that the show “opened solidly, if not spectacularly.” Alright!
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this post stated that a marketer for Raw named Ryan Werner confirmed that several faintings at a TIFF screening of the film were staged.

Straight Outta Compton was one of the top 20 highest-grossing films of 2015 and a lot of that had to do with its marketing. Promotion for the movie was damn near everywhere, including Facebook.
