This is why I hate advertising

No, it's corny lines that kill albatrosses.
Honestly, I was so enraged that I went and burned all my Aristoc tights. Birds were falling out of the sky because of the acrid smoke and searing winter winds are blowing up my thighs, but dammit I don't care.
In fact, I have long made it a principle to expressly NOT buy anything that is advertised in a way that is derogatory, challenges my intelligence, or talks down to me in some other way.

PS: thanks to Jon Quinn for bringing this to my attention... Your reward is coming up in the next post.

The tights are supposed to be dolphin friendly as in echo friendly. I dunno about eco friendly tights, specially if you burn them
