Check out this commercial for dishwasher detergent. And take careful note of the American man’s v-neck sweater. That’s the uniform of a man who is owned by a woman.
You’re laughing because you know it’s true. How many of the married men reading this blog have received those same sweaters as “gifts” from women? Personally, I’ve received about 25 over the years. None from men. I received three of those sweaters so far this year. I throw them away. Nice try.
File under What The Hell. (It’s from Scott Adams’ increasingly insane blog; the same post includes the words “Many of you can’t talk about this topic without being accused of sexism,
losing your jobs, and being cast out of your social groups. But I can
talk about it because I endorse Hillary Clinton for president.”)

Leading leave campaigner Boris Johnson has told the Telegraph that today’s vote is more important to him than his future in British politics.
‘Frankly, if this is the end of my political career… I’ve done eight years as mayor of London, I enjoyed it hugely, it was a massive privilege. Fine by me.’
But he remains fairly chipper about the outcome.
‘Our campaign has been about optimism and self-reliance. This is an absolute turning point in the story of our country because I think if we go on with being enmeshed in the EU it will continue to erode our democracy. That is something that worries me.’
Boris spent part of the final day of campaigning kissing fish at Billingsgate.
From here. Personally, I hope that it is the end of Boris in British politics, but I’m biased.
The people in the photo have been betrayed by Ukip, rather than me personally. But it has backfired on Ukip. People are very intelligent – they could see this was clearly not a group of people coming to the UK. They aren’t sucked in that easily. Which makes it almost comical for Ukip, because it’s had completely the opposite effect they thought it would have.
I was busy on another job when I heard they’d used it, and carried on with my work as normal. My job – telling the story of the migrants – had been done. It’s just unfortunate how it’s been picked up. It’s difficult for any agency – Getty, Reuters, AP – that circulates photographers’ images. They’re out there. And it’s not just Ukip. Newspapers also use shots in the wrong context. It depends on the political slant of any organisation.
The photographer who took the refugees photo used in UKIP’s appalling “Breaking Point” ad talks about the shot, and its subsequent use. From here.
