My guess was on an arms manufacturer and I guess it's still a tool of mass murder in the sense that capitalism has killed more than war so I'm claiming a win.

quote:

At the start of the game, female players get more money from the banker than guys—$1,900 versus $1,500—and also collect $240 each time they pass go, rather than the usual $200. Instead of investing in real estate properties, players sink their money into inventions created by women, like “WiFi ... chocolate chip cookies, solar heating and modern shapewear.”

It would be a lot less offensive if the last dozen posters hadn't fallen for exactly what that ad was trying to do. Lure us in then give us a memorable shot of the product. Then pay people to tweet it out so it lands on social media (including comedy forums).

If you've seen Dolan's 'Mommy' there's two major needle drops, Oasis's Wonderwall and Ludovico Einaudi's Experience and the two of those ads with very similar cinematography feature reworks of those songs so that's pretty weird too

The point of advertising is so some oil exec's failson who got a degree in English Lit at Bard for a cool quarter mil can nevertheless be rewarded with capital's ill-gotten gains, not to actually move product.

Ms. Monopoly just created an app where for every coffee you purchase, 1 dollar will go towards buying an American a pair of shoes.

Her app is valued at a trillion dollars.

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.
This is actually amazing, because the game that monopoly was blatantly taken from, was invented by a woman who received next to nothing for it.

Oh look, someone has already written an article about this

Hasbro puts out Ms. Monopoly while also publicly reporting their male employees get 70% more bonus compensation vs. their female employees. Females also make 10% less across the board.

e: lol the footnote blames women taking maternity leave for the bonus pay gap.

Then men will be having babies just to get out of work instead of pursuing their careers, you know how men are, I don't want to hire someone who's just going to leave to start a family in a few months!!!

I like how it's ostensibly meant to celebrate woman-made inventions... but the "celebration" is "how can we extract rent from this by denying its use to others"
