Goldieblox and the Three MCs. ⇒

Waxy breaks down the kerfuffle around the Goldieblox advert that uses a parody of the song “Girls” by the Beastie Boys. The Goldieblox ad is cute, but it is still an advert. I can see why the Beastie Boys are annoyed. (Also, it sucks that the default in 2013 is that all toys are “toys for boys” unless specifically noted.)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
