Dad should check his shampoo for nair for the foreseeable future.

I'll never understand parents who think it's fun and funny to bully their kids and erode their impressionable children's trust in adults. I have no sympathy for them when their children drive them to the $100000 a year assisted living condos only to not stop there and instead dump their parents at the state run old folks home.

That's the point, I guess. You know what to look for in a good boot (although, having to wear it for a year is sort of...hard to pull off in a shop)...But, perhaps, most people don't.

And more amusingly; maybe there ISN'T much difference in most things between the "cheap" and the "expensive" when so much marketing is involved.

I remember watching a woman who was chemical engineer explain to another woman that P&G, where she worked, basically had the same chemical base stock for all its shampoos and conditioners and then differentiated them with coloring and scent to charge 2X, 3X, and 5X for the same thing lol

I'm sure I've fallen for the same thing in my world before. I mean, sometimes it fails; for some reason, I'm thinking of when GM re-labeled its benighted "J" class cars as compacts and was surprised they didn't sell. Not to pick on GM...

would have been 5x funnier if someone kept dropping new shampoo on him like those stupid beach shower prank videos.

love shower vids. Wonder what conditioner and shampoo was being used.

Interesting. I shower regularly, but I do not use soap or shampoo. I use good hot water and a wash cloth. I do an oil wash fairly often as well to catch dead skin and bacteria while not removing my healthy microbiome that keeps my skin healthy and without bo.

It was rough at first, my skin and hair were oily and I definitely developed a scent lol, but with time, and working toward restoring my skins microbiome after years of antimicrobial soaps & shampoos, my skin & hair found a natural - and healthy - balance.

Tell ya what, I'll boycott The Blaze.

Who, other than The Blaze, was interested in hiring her before? If, as you noted earlier, this was happening to a respected journalist would we be worried about whether they'd still have an audience at the end of it?

I mean, I get that you're trying to be even-handed and fair and wotnot and ye, worse things will always happen to better people...but i mean... Karma tho? I got in the shower this morning and then remembered I had no shampoo. WEEP FOR ME. Let it not be said that I should take my plight in context!

Or maybe to give a better and more accurate view on round-up toxicity, this summary from a scientific journal article prepared by The Department of Pathology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, New York, link to full article follows:

Results from several investigations establish that
the acute toxicity and irritation potential of Roundup
herbicide in humans is low. Specifically, results from
controlled studies with Roundup showed that skin irritation
was similar to that of a baby shampoo and
lower than that observed with a dishwashing detergent
and an all-purpose cleaner; no dermal sensitization,
photoirritation, or photosensitization reactions were
148 WILLIAMS, KROES, AND MUNRO
observed. Furthermore, the incidence of occupationalrelated
cases involving Roundup is low given the widespread
use of the product. Data from these cases indicated
some potential for eye and skin irritation with
the concentrated product, but exposure to dilute spray
solutions rarely resulted in any significant adverse
effect. Most importantly, no lasting dermal or ocular
effects were noted, and significant systemic effects attributable
to contact with Roundup did not occur. Studies
of Roundup ingestion showed that death and other
serious effects occurred only when large amounts were
intentionally ingested for the purpose of committing
suicide. These data confirmed that the acute oral toxicity
in humans is low and consistent with that predicted
by the results of laboratory studies in animals.

I cut my hair like once a year and only out of practicality. Long hair gets into my food when I eat, takes longer to wash and requires more shampoo (which means I have to spend more money). I make sure to cut my hair short enough that I don't need to comb it. As it grows out, I only manipulate it enough to keep it out of my eyes.

Seriously though, if you don't see the inherent issue with makeup, I'm not sure what to say. The very existence of makeup tells women that the only way they can achieve their idealized representation is by painting their faces.

As the video shows, the basic gender defining trait for this marketing is pink for girls and blue for boys, even though 60 years ago it was the opposite. I agree that most of us grew up in this era and so those defining marketable traits are believed simply because we grew up with that definition.

Another example is the idea of not being clean unless you us soap, shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant, etc. Many people (myself included) have stopped using such items and found that, after an adjustment period, there's really no difference. My hair is healthier and fuller since stopping using shampoo and my skin isn't as dry without soap. I shower with just water and the only time I stink is after a work out. Most people believe you'd become Pig Pen if you didn't use these items but that is simply because they grew up in an era where they've used them as long as they can remember and cannot imagine ever not using them.

There's certainly a cultural element, but I feel that if there simply wasn't this marketing divide just a few short generations ago, that culture alone plays a small role.

Catnip scented shampoo ?

Somebody give this jebus moron a wood shampoo!

You sound like an angry old man.

Mumford and Sons have some great songs and this is a lighthearted, funny video.

You seem to take your dislike of them and expand it into a condemnation of an unrelated list of things you also dislike.

Also people who are "offended" by pop culture and music trends should shampoo my crotch
