MAC Cosmetics has censored Sandra Bernhard (A win for us!)

The New York Post ^ | August 18, 2006

They are not censoring for indecent content, thus the barnyard reference remains. The purpose of the campaign is to be "edgy" and somewhat "dangerous". What they are doing is eliminating something that insults a fair portion of their customers directly. Frankly, this is a good business decision.

Nobody likes to be called a right-wing Republican thin-lipped bitch. I would imagine that would make something like that would make 30% of the women in this country less likely to favor their products. Nobody wants to kiss off 30% of the market.

Good business 101:

It's best not to insult 50% of your customer base.....

Thank you. Maybe you can post this a couple of times over the weekend so more people can see the address. I am filing my complaint right now.

the don't seem to understand that republican women a) have money and b) wear makeup. liberal women b) don't have money and b) don't even shave where they should, let alone wear makeup.

I am allergic to,Estée Lauder products..I cough and sneeze when I wear the perfumes..So I switched to Lancome,Poeme..If you have allergies ladies check the perfume you wear..Oh and btw,Sandra Bernhard is Queer..could be why she said those things they can't stand Conservatives the family values..and yes she is as ugly as a toad..Well even toads have better looks than she does.. Would you want this to endorse your cosmetics

[Alouette]

She is the before picture!

Ann Coulter is the AFTER picture.

liberal women b) don't have money and b) don't even shave where they should, let alone wear makeup.

Yes. The lib women I know personally just shove their knarly, twisted old toes into their Birkenstocks, throw a crusty caftan over their saggy bodies and they're ready for the day.

that was a mental image i just did not need to have in my head for the rest of the hour, thank ytou veryy much

[Screaming_Gerbil]

No pictures please.

Why not. I think it's kind of informative to see how the Lib gals who citicize the President look and present themselves...

"...when I go to the airport tomorrow and they try to take my MAC plushglass away from me, it's going to be World War 3!"

Sandra Bernhard is quite obviously a foul mouthed hag who's face lifts could not quite hide her uglyness but with lots of makeup she can tone it down.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

There was a time cosmetic companies used Glamorous people to represent their products... Now they use Pigs!

[Screaming_Gerbil]

I see your point. Drag queens do use a lot of makeup.

Amaziing what a lot of makeup (and a wig) can do.

Sandra Bernhard is what Mick Jagger would look like after a sex change.
