[...] You might have seen the extremely offensive and sexist Australian Jim Beam ad series last year at Hoyden About Town. [...]

Myriam, Malcolm’s first comment was let through and not especially bothered with. He then submitted a troll contribution to another blog that Lauredhel admins, and only then was he labelled a troll (i.e. after doing something very obviously trollish).

It’s simply not worth engaging with someone seriously after they’ve outed themselves as just another troll. It only encourages them.

it should have been dealt with differently.

Myriam, you’re right here; answer his comment however you like, within the bounds of our Comments Policy.

while i agree that the ads perpetuate a terrible view of women in our society, i disagree with how this discussion seems to have jumped on everyone who’s posed a different opinion. i think that’s what melanie meant when she said “you are what’s wrong with society”. rather, not engaging with someones arguments is what’s wrong with society. this isn’t a mistake i believe you habitually make,

maybe a discussion of either this is the male equivalent of ’sex and the city’ (which i don’t think it is), rather than ad hominum (‘you’ve clearly never watched sex and the city’ etc.) attacks are the more noble option. i don’t think malcolm’s comment deserved the response it did. he raised a point, it should have been dealt with differently.

[...] is tired of newspaper columnists and their editors being so unskeptical of their own opinions. Hoyden About Town finds a viral advertising campaign for Jim Beam is as puerile and mean-spirited as you might [...]

*You are what is wrong with society*

Yes, there *is* a real wave of critical engagement with the media, an epidemic of feminists saying ‘I don’t think that stalking is funny’ and it’s causing *all kinds* of social evils…like…like…like…

I have no problem with the ads, I find them very amusing. I think people need to lighten up, you are what is wrong with society, not the ads [Mod note: I'm just gonna keep on publishing these little Bingo douchewhimsies from time to time, if no one objects, so long as they're not personally abusive to anyone but me. Just as a reminder as to how prevalent and empty-headed this particular variety of plonker is. As if any of us needed such a thing. To the OP: I recommend a squiz at our comments policy, and more than a squiz at Finally A Feminism 101 Blog. ~L]

You’ve never actually watched SatC, have you Malcolm?

Anyway, toodle-oo. I imagine you’re very busy saving starving children. Thanks for giving us some of your precious time.
