I really wish TiVos would come out over here already, because I would snap that up in a heartbeat. I really think I ought to be able to watch Law & Order: The Munch and Finn Show Stabler Goes Postal Yet Again Special Victim Unit without being told my job is a waste of money and I'm a chicken (some internet-only bank--FirstDirect?), that my girlparts smell and sticking Yeast Infection In A Quiet Wrapper So You Can Pretend You Don't Bleed From The Crotch Like Almost Every Other Woman up there is a splendid idea, oh and by the way, you should eat breakfast not because you're hungry or you want to or because it's fucking healthy for you, but, obviously, because it makes you thinner--but hey, everyone knows thin = healthy, right?
(Yes, I get twitchy about commercials a lot. Help me feel like less of a freak by sharing your own peeves re: commercials/advertising?)

I will never, ever understand why people go for these things. It's the same with scented panty liners, although at least you're not putting these inside your body. Or douching! I can't imagine the kind of body image you have to have to want to do that to yourself. It actually makes me quite sad.
And seriously, fake rose/vanilla/lavender smell mixed with blood? Can't possibly be pleasant. UGH.
What's a quiet wrapper? Is that like ... a wrapper that doesn't make a sound when you open it? *boggles*

See, this is what I'm saying, but apparently girly bits smell and it's better to stuff all sorts of chemical crap up your vagina rather than just deal with the fact that you're bleeding, it kinda smells, and no one else actually notices. Gah. This whole "Periods are EVIL and ICKY and SHAMEFUL and WRONG!!!!eleventy1!" thing bothers me so much.

Yes. And, exactly. All part of the "periods BAD!" thing, and just. Why would it even matter unless you were in a public restroom, in which case you're surrounded by women, who in all probability also get/used to get/will get their periods just like every other woman. It just .... confuses, and scares, and baffles me that there's so much shame about something that more than half of the human population goes/has gone/will go through on a regular basis for a large part of their lives.
