Misogynistic Advertising Walk of Shame: Sweetie Gets a Manicure

So, we were driving down the road and lo and behold we pass advertising on a lamppost with the lovely image of Sweetie leaving a manicurist. Sweetie the fucking Panda gets a manicure. You know, that panda which the BBC named as one of the most important (women's) Faces of 2011 "accidentally" leaving out three women who won the Nobel fucking Peace Prize. So, not only do real women not make the BBC's list of important newsmakers of 2011 (and Pippa Middleton was nominated for being the most sexually harassed women in April) but we now require female pandas conform to the Patriarchal Fuckability Test. And, advertise manicures. She's a fucking panda; an endangered species. I think Sweetie's got enough to worry about with half of the UK watching her reproductive parts to worry about whether or not her nails look good. Plus, her name is Sweetie.

Oh, and for those interested, the three women who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 were Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymay Gbowee, and Tawakkol Karman. They won "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work." Slightly more important than a panda.
