its still something I can't wrap my head around: I get that brands don't want to be associated with women that took part in the sex industry (Although I want to make it absolutely clear, Angelea "participation" wasnt willingly, it was the result of human trafficking) especially when it comes to a brand like covergirl, with their target audience being young girls. Yes, it is hypocritical and unfair, but that is where society is at currently.

But this fact about Angelea wasn't made public at the time cycle 17 had aired. No one had to know. And lets be honest, at that point in time, the show wasn't really culturally relevant, and no one was really interested in researching Angelea past. Furthermore, if covergirl didn't want her to represent their brand, they could have done what they did with countless other winners: not using her in any real campaigns.

I will argue that all of these people that might wouldn't buy covergirl products because of Angelea ended up knowing more about how she "almost" ended up as a covergirl *because* Angelea was disqualified.

Finally, after you disqualified Angelea, you chose...Lisa? You know, that girl that peed in a diaper and had substance abuse issues? What a great, clean, family friendly image.

Any thoughts?

I would start from saying that I don't come in any way to diss ancient Egypt, Im a freak of it as much of all the people in this sub. But here is my question:

Would you say that Ancient Egyptian culture, science and philosophy had the same influence in our modern times as ancient greek or ancient rome?

I may be a bit biased due to me being a math major, lol, but I see so much influence of ancient greek on our modern times-we still read ancient greek philosophy, use their advancments in math, go to see ancient greek plays and, of course, read ancient greek poetry. But I don't feel I was influenced by Ancient Eygyptian culture as much. I was influenced by mythology, but never saw an ancient Egyptian play in theater lately.

Do you agree with this assertion? Or not? Again, can it be that I am influenced, just don't know it? And if you do agree, is there a reason why?
