Au revoir Target Women

Sarah Haskins, creator of the oh-so-sardonic web show about gender and advertising, Target Women, has announced that the series has come to an end. The show dealt with mundane and serious sexism, poking fun at cockamamie yogurt ads aimed at women, and questioning a security company's use of rape scenes in its ads to scare women into buying its product. Haskins' shows were smart and thought-provoking, but above all, they were uproariously funny, proving once and for all that "humorless feminist" is a complete misnomer.

Oh great! I am not the only one who wonder why yogort is a woman only food. She is very interesting, to bad I found out about her when the show is ending...
