Sarah Haskins makes feminist critiques fun Salon calls her "the toast of the feminist blogosphere," which might explain why I'm just now finding out about Sarah Haskins. (As you know, males only read blogs like this.) But now that I've discovered her "Target: Women" video series, I'm hooked on her biting critique of advertising and pop culture. Whether she's tackling birth control, yogurt ads, wedding shows or chick flicks, Haskins uses her brilliance and common sense to skewer rampaging stereotypes. In a year when politicians are tripping over themselves trying to appeal to women, the candidates would do better to spend half an hour with Haskins than millions advertising alongside Swiffer commercials on Lifetime. —Posted by David Griner

David my dear boy, honestly you should start reading our feed - I've linked each one of Sarah's ad-related critiques as they were posted.

It has less to do with me not reading your feed and more with my "mark all 677 as read" approach to Google Reader these days. Maybe time to prune back a bit.

Ah, I totally know what you mean. People are deserting RSS feeds because there's just too much to read these days.
