SNIP....
MINOR EDITING
MAC Cosmetics has censored Sandra Bernhard for bashing the GOP. The cosmetics giant, owned by Estée Lauder, got hundreds of complaints after it posted an online ad this week for its Plushglass lip gloss in which the balloon-lipped comic does some free-form ranting, including a riff about an "intimidated, frightened, right-wing Republican thin-lipped bitch." But Mac oddly didn't cut a line in which Bernhard cheekily discusses the bodily fluids of a horny barnyard bird.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.
