A Feminist's Outrage

Just woke up from a dream where this girl applies black lipstick and proceeds into crude biological acts with me. My debauched ways - but that is okay, people are stranger.

But meanwhile, in the feminist circles, the lipstick is now giving way to a surge of [negative] opinions. Bloods are boiling after the European Commission came out with a 'breathtakingly sexist' science video, in their campaign to encourage girls to do science. In the ad, the apparition of a lipstick is replaced by a test tube, and then those paid models start dancing suggestively.
Like me, you'd also go "WTF - what does this have to do with science? Is EU sponsored by Revlon or L'Oreal?"



I think, that next, EC's gonna come up with quick Q&As of the following type
Q: What did the test tube say to the burette?
A: Fill me with your love fluids tonight

They could've simply used Amy Farrah Fowler for their campaign; she is much closer to what a science girl looks like - and guess what... its still fun! Is it so hard for a transnational organization to notice the social trends? Prof. Farnsworth, do I hear you fuming?
