how do people not get that this is offensive and dumb on so many levels?

Yeah, I agree.

Also, I totally called it by the title alone.

Wup, I just saw the name of the channel and I'm pretty sure what this is going to be

aaaaaaaaand yep

Corny? Yeah. But how is it offensive?

My question too. I think creating, raising, and nurturing another human being is a pretty tough job, all things considered.

But dads do that do.

Well, not the creating part.

Wow, that was so stupid. The beginning was boring as hell, and after the "big reveal" it just... urgh.

I will say this though! That black girl had the cutest hair style, reminded me of Selphie from FF8.

What was the big reveal? I was too bored to watch more than 45 seconds of it.

The job in question was "being a mom"! Because apparently they stand up 24 hours a day and never sit down, and a bunch of other idiotic stuff. Good you gave up on it -- you saved yourself from having to see the people being interviews breaking down in tears and thanking their mothers. (I'd like to think the whole thing was faked and that they were actors, but you never know.)

Yeah, just going on looks alone I'm going to say every single one of those people are paid actors. Viral marketing doesn't leave that shit to chance.

Is it bad that when I read the reveal I immediately rolled my eyes? I mean I get what they were going for, but I find it rather cliche.

The job is being a momma and you should love your momma, and also coincidentally buy a greeting card from American Greetings and Cardstore to show her you love her or else you are a terrible child

And now I'm glad I stopped watching.

All right, I'll bite. Why is it supposed to be offensive?

Because being a mom is not tougher than being forced to work in mines in the Congo.

It's not really tougher than most jobs, I should think.

Especially since most moms in the west also have actual jobs, and still are moms.

Slavery isn't a job.

Sad part is, it's not slavery in a lot of cases [and congo isn't the only place that happens], it's just the only job in town and pays complete shit.

Then neither is parenting :)

>Does something 90% of women who aren't dirt poor, or privileged rich do alongside working a full time career

"worlds toughest job"

Well, I definitely think my mom had the toughest job in my family... because she was my mom on top of having a really successful career and doing the lion's share of the housework. Does the video touch on that aspect?

I'm just uhh gonna leave this here. The first couple are rage-inducing and relevant.

OMG this blog is AMAZING.

People are such dicks.

Paraphrased:

"I lost my cat of 16+ years today. RIP"

"I can tell you have no kids, but anyway sorry for your loss."

WTF! >:(
