I may as well just call this blog 'I hate Jezebel. Why do I still read it?!'
Tropicana ad causes controversy
Now I know that often adverts play on stereotypes and use them to sell us stuff and this is what has been done here. It's an obvious play on the devil/angel dichotomy and while that is cliched, dull and a bit silly. What's maddenlingly dumb is the mention of undertones of sexuality in the article and the mind-bogglingly easy jump the commenters have made to sex faces, peadophilia and the idea that an advert like this would NEVER be made with boys. It's bullcrap, it's annoying and it's making me want to smash my own face in.
