It's smart marketing that Cremation Society of Minnesota commercials are flashed between Minnesota political ads, right when we're thinking about dying.And then there was that video of a young woman walking through New York City for 10 hours, getting verbally harassed constantly. I actually didn't watch the video, but couldn't help collecting these tweets:

Global warming isn't real because I was cold today!
