after a really-bad-idea campaign that was cancelled ~5 years ago. that was a fail. (google: mac cosmetics rodarte, if you want to read about that.)

they sell primarily to women, and they don't want to offend women. they're known for being supportive of women and women's causes, some kids things, and, of course, aids fundraising, with their viva glam offerings.

as rollo said, there are other brands that have far worse names and are unapologetic about it. I'm not a prude, when context is appropriate; but it's pretty danged icky to see anyone, let alone teenage yters, talking about underage and orgasm and deep throat and even more adult terms because they're the names of cosmetics.

to me, "he said she said" is far less questionable than, say, if it was "no means yes" or similar.

mac's fall collection. (www.temptalia.com)

I think I must have a very innocent view of what that phrase means... it has always reminded me of the movie as well -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 12:45 3
- it's been around forever in more innocent ways, but its more recent use re: consent is definitely not uncommon. I don't want to take away - b. Sep 15, 12:52 2
  - Seems worth talking about to me. For better or worse, marketing and makeup are things people cae about and have people's attention. - con_carne Sep 15, 13:13 1
    - oh yah, I'm not opposed to the conversation at all, it just bums me out to see small things blow-up when there are huge things that get less attention - b. Sep 15, 13:18
