Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Thankfully, I haven’t yet seen a TV commercial for Reebok’s new EasyTone shoe. But Sophia Lear brings me up to date here:

It took being assaulted by this ad a few times to pinpoint what makes it so horrifying. The message of the ad seems to be: what women really want is to have a butt so cute that they will be objectified like the woman in the ad.

It took a few viewings to figure this out? Here’s the very first line of the ad:

Reebok EasyTone shoes not only look fantastic, they’ll help make your legs and butt look great too.

Emphasis very decidedly in the original, accompanied by the camera zooming in for a tight closeup on the woman’s butt. This is not a subtle sales pitch. You can see for yourself at the link.
