Current: Having its feminist cake and eating it too
On the page of the very funny Target Women segment attacking Carl's Jr's sexist advertising campaign, Current.com promotes videos called "Adult Videos", "InfoMania: Spring Break" (illustrated with a girl in a bikini) and "Taxes and BOOBS" in the hope of snaring some precious pageviews.
Updated to add some clarification:
It's not so much the *content* offending me as the salacious titling of segments with a goal of getting page views seeming hypocritical when paired with Sarah's segment.
Attempting to profit from a funny, well-argued segment attacking mindless misogyny while simultaneously pushing content by giving a video a misleading title and thumbnail just strikes me as duplicitous and makes me embarrassed to be a champion of Current.
