I get really excited when I feel like mainstream or slightly alternative companies are tapping into my core knowledge and love for high culture and fine art. It’s like they’re PAYING ATTENTION and finally realizing who they’re main audience is (me). It’s like a silly inside joke that only WE get (me and the advertisers). It makes me feel like I am in an INNER LOOP and I should reward my peer/comrade/fellow intellectual by buying these stretchy pants.

This am app “ad” is funny because it’s a comment on how Dan Flavin’s light sabers are really just penis glow sticks.
here i am just a glow penis
Us girls gravitate towards this art because they feel/look like a huge cock just bursting with bright white jizz. The am app ad addresses those issues by having a model pose with the light saber between her legs. Dan Flavin came at a time just before women artists started coming onto the scene. It was a time of light saber battles, when only men could compete for the title of ultimate artist.
We have taken down the glowstick from the gallery walls. We have put it to its true use–as a comfort object between my legs. This says a lot about art. It says a lot about the male domination in art history and where my place as a woman is IN IT.
