Advice on running advocacy campaigns tied in with pop culture, from Melissa Foley at Netroots. Unfortunately, the piece leaves out any mention of the current top story about Hunger Games and advocacy. Definitely some lessons to be learned from that, too!

Glamour’s April cover features actress Jennifer Lawrence (who stars as Hunger Games‘ heroine Katniss Everdeen), in a very, very busty outfit. I’m a little grossed out by this. Yes, I know that Lawrence is of age, but she is playing a character who is 16 years old. Do we really need her this overtly sexualized? As About-face points out, “While the Glamour piece is obviously showcasing the actress (not the character), the prop she’s holding (a bow) blurs the line.” It feels like we’re looking at a sexed-up 16 year old. Ew.
