So now Butter London used an ethnic slur as the name of a nail polish?

What is with these companies? If you're an American business using faux-Britishisms to market your products even though clearly no one working for your company actually understands English slang, maybe you should fucking hire someone to spend 5 minutes googling your cutesy product names. (You can read more about it here, if you're interested.)

The do seem to have immediately discontinued sales of the product as soon as it launched and people complained, so that's something. No attempts at defending it, as far as I can tell.

More garbage from Refinery 29: Linking personality with hair color

I'm not going to go through a whole analysis of this article. I'll just say that it could have been an interesting premise, maybe, but "blonds like attention" and "brunettes are serious" is such a load of shit. Even if you're talking about the colors people choose to dye their hair. The entire continents of the world where almost everyone has dark hair must be very solemn places.

What do you think?
