Why is it the people complaining about this are always ugly women?

I don't think Kate Winslet is ugly.


Strangely enough, Kate lost a LOT of weight from her Titanic days (no pun intended). I actually preferred the way she looked back then... these days shes in quite a lot of movies/commercials looking a bit like someone who needs a cheeseburger.

LOL!

I don't think the speaker is ugly either. @The_Ham must not get laid with standards like that. >> ^Opus_Moderandi:

Thanks for Sifting this. I just came from an article where a guy was complaining about people who complain about booth babes at video game industry conventions. His question literally was, "What's the harm?" I'll pass this on to him.

@crotchflame I think the ads are both the cause and effect at the same time. They're the effect of a cultural norm that says its okay to treat women as (usually sexual) objects but they also cause that norm to be reinforced--so much so that some women even embrace that norm to their own detriment.

Breaking the cycle requires us as a society to re-evaluate what's most important to us. Videos like this and the actions of people like Kate Winslet are a great start, but for real change to happen I think it has to come from within each and every individual. We all need to stand up and call bullshit on this kind of advertising. We need to educate our kids better not to fall for this stuff--to be more critical and suspicious of what mass media is trying to tell them--this doesn't just apply to advertising but to pretty much everything including the nightly news as well. I think it has to be a bottom-up thing where it just becomes culturally intolerable, rather than a top-down thing where they try to legislate it away.

Now I have to download Romance and Cigarettes to see that scene, can't find it on YouTube.
I wonder if Kate Winslet and Emily Watson can appreciate these stories being told.

The Wrestler - Mickey Rourke
The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger
The Reader - Kate Winslet
The Wrestler - Marisa Tomei
WALL-E
Waltz with Bashir - Israel
Slumdog Millionaire

...I don't think the men who decided black people were 3/5ths of a person allowed them to vote until, oh, maybe the middle of the 19th century? And even that was a sham until nearly one hundred years later. And women were arrested for voting until 1920. I don't see the democracy there.

Ok, we'll call it sparring on the Titanic. Now all I need is to find Kate Winslet and I'll be satisfied.

I'm not a big historian, but it seems to me that I remember that the Founding Fathers (yes, they were all men) had a heated debate when they were deciding who could vote.
Anyone? Or did you have to be educated? Own property?
Guess what they decided?
Yep. Democracy, not meritocracy. Representative democracy, to be accurate.
And you can have capitalism without a voting booth.
So you enjoy these "debates"? Huh. It doesn't seem like a debate to me. The topic keeps changing. Sparring, maybe. Sparring on quicksand.
It does have its delights.

^good point. The game is actually about a Russian immigrant, so that could explain the intro, but why cut it off where they did? It looks kinda cheesy, more like an intro to a titanic game.

Actually, Titanic would make a great Wii mini-games collection, featuring such minigames as: draw Kate Winslet's boobs with a Wiimote, dunk Leonardo in freezing waters until he turns blue and the Celine Dion theme song endurance test.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is an Academy Award-winning 2004 romance film by Michel Gondry that uses a science fiction element to explore the nature of memory and love. The film has developed a cult following and was one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2004.

The film stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet and features David Cross, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson and Elijah Wood.

It opened in North America on March 19, 2004. The film has consistent high rankings in the IMDB's Top 250.

The movie's title is taken from a few lines from the much longer poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope:

How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot;
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

You had me at "Kate Winslet".
