    Bliss Is Ignorance

    Posted Friday, January 16, 2009 1:33 PM | By Jessica Grose
    I was enjoying lunch at my warm desk when I noticed the following subject line pop up in my gmail from Bliss Spa: "Say 'farewell' to bush with waxing discounts!" I don't know what bugged me more, the flagrant abuse of quotation marks (am I supposed to be talking to my pubic hair now?) or the completely debased beauty marketers who are trying to capitalize on the end of a disastrous presidency. My snap judgment upon seeing the ad was "ew" but then it was followed by a distinctly Pollyannaish annoyance that Bliss is being really flippant in the dumbest way possible about a truly historic inauguration. Maybe it just irked me so much because I saw the ad while eating.
