Potential new blog coming soon. This current gaming/development one will keep going, to be updated properly soon. If you think the new feminism based blog is worth pursuing then please tell me.

Have you got a WKD side?

In response to this advert from around June 2006.

My initial response to this advert was, “No, I do not have a WKD side”.

The main reasons for this:

• I dislike the drink.
• I really hate the ethos behind the product,  as created by thehouse ltd.
• The stereotypes reinforced and encouraged by the adverts are at best tedious and at worse irresponsible.

However, I imagine the above has been said hundreds of times by people of all types, opinions and outlooks.

Therefore, I am going to give a completely subjective answer, one that will hopefully reveal enough about me, my flaws and my potentially feminist views. Hopefully this in turn will give context to future ‘Is this what a feminist looks like?’ posts. The main conceit of this post is reading WKD as wicked, using its tradition religious definition.

Given my technical status a Catholic, out of a list of nine potential elements to a wicked side, I shall start with ‘Laziness’

Laziness
I have been lazy ever since the age of 17.
Trying to work on it and recognise it as a negative element of my personality.
Therefore I am going to leave it at that and ignore.

Unpleasant Actions Towards Others
To Be Continued… If the blog goes ahead.
