@BuzzFeedBen@iam486@emofly Pulling a post not the same thing as changing it... -
@BuzzFeedBen So confused how a quiz asking if I need to "shut the fuck up" is cool but the thoughtful, relevant POV on the Dove ad is not. -
@BuzzFeedBen@IAM486@emofly "changed" -
@BuzzFeedBen The original post was a solid piece of reporting, coupled with an authentic point of view. Oh well. Dove is happy. -
@BuzzFeedBen@IAM486@emofly smooth move exlax -
@BuzzFeedBen@IAM486@emofly aaand that's why you're fluff and will always be fluff. Stop trying to do "real" stories if this is your MO -
@BuzzFeedBen@IAM486@emofly I did "show". But bravo to@arabellesicardi though it was a bit late coming. Dove's been doing it for 10 years. -
@BuzzFeedBen you'll have a wonderful career in politics, Ben. This reeks of bullshit :( -

@BuzzFeedBen@IAM486@emofly Were you contacted by anyone at Unilever or Dove about the piece?
