This Sexist GAP Ad Also Has An Ironic Typo

Yesterday, UK Twitter-user Sabrina Golonka received a GAP Kids ad in the mail which she found glaringly sexist. The ad shows a young boy wearing a shirt featuring Albert Einstein who’s labeled the “Little Scholar” and a little girl wearning a sweater and kitty ears who’s called the “The Social Butterfly.” Some believe the ad promotes sexist stereotypes at a time when people in the the UK and the U.S. are trying to close the science-and-math-score gender gap.

As people scrutinized the ad they realized that, ironically, our “Little Scholar” is wearing a shirt with Einstein’s name incorrectly spelled “Einstien.” Which is hilarious being that the boy is characterized as a scholar.

So far, GAP has yet to comment on the ad.

New research shows a surprising number of Americans think coupons are okay for a first date

First dates can be very exciting, anxiety-inducing, annoying, fun, and stressful all at once. Whether the date was fun or a nightmare, the bill always comes due. According to past dating norms, the gentleman is expected to flash some cash or a credit card to fully pay for the date. However, a recent survey is saying that paying for the date with a coupon isn’t a deal breaker. In fact, it might make you appear more attractive.

A 2025 Talker Research survey of 2,000 Americans showed that 56% of people thought using coupons on a first date is okay. On top of that, 28% considered that type of frugality “sexy” and 56% believed that “flashing cash” and other ways to show off wealth were a turn-off. All of this is reinforced by the fact that over 60% of the respondents wanted a date that was happy to look for deals.

Dave Ramsey bluntly shuts down woman asking if boyfriend should spend or save his settlement

A video featuring financial guru and radio host Dave Ramsey has gone viral and has people talking about finances between their partners. In the video, Dave receives a call from a woman asking for Ramsey’s advice regarding how her boyfriend should invest a settlement he is receiving in a few months. His answer wasn’t what she was expecting.

The woman explained that her boyfriend wanted to use the settlement to outright purchase a home, whereas she thought the money would be better spent on a large down payment and get a mortgage. Ramsey was puzzled. “Why do you want a mortgage?” he asked.

China releases viral TikTok videos exposes how European 'luxury' items are really made

The trade war between President Donald Trump’s 145% tariff increase on Chinese goods and China's reciprocal 125% tariff increase on goods from the United States has created a stir throughout the world. While governments go over what this means for their respective economies, the TikTok community and other social media groups made up of regular consumers and small businesses from both countries are sharing the open-secrets regarding various luxury items.

Many of these videos are from Chinese manufacturers revealing something many already know: that many of their favorite luxury European brands are actually made in China, are packaged in Europe for distribution, then sold at a heavily marked-up price. However, these videos are showing the math and how much disparity there is between the actual cost of manufacturing versus the price tag at a branded store.

The UK's largest grocery store chain has a revolutionary new strategy: giving away free food

With 3,700 stores in the U.K. and 750 more in other countries, Tesco is easily Britain’s largest grocery store chain. They’re incredibly successful but have been facing a growing food waste problem as many items grow too old to sell. Their new solution? Give it away to customers for free.

Tesco has been trying to reduce the amount of food waste it produces year after year, hoping to reduce the amount of thrown-away food by 50%. However, with rising food prices due to global inflation and rising cost of living expenses, the prices of several food staples such as meat, eggs, and milk have gone up. The BBC reports that over seven million people in the UK are “food insecure.” So as a means to clear their inventory and reduce food waste, Tesco is trying a new policy of giving away expiring food at the end of each day.

Man yelling next to budget

Gen Z is facing the same economic issues Millennials did at their age.

Gen Zer shares their budget on a full-time job. Millennials share in their rage.

For decades, there has been article after article regarding Millennials and their income holding them back from various milestones such as paying off student loans, homeownership, and even having children. Now, it appears that not much has changed and Gen Z is feeling the hurt in the wallet as well.

A post on Reddit is making the rounds on the Internet showcasing the budget of a Gen Z worker who is working full time and is still struggling, even though they are living with their parents. After breaking down their monthly earnings with a $16/hour wage, they calculated that after making payments for gas (including fuel for driving his parents and brother around), rent to their parents, food, car payments, and cell phone service, they only take home $96/month in savings. But that little bit of money is one car repair away from disappearing altogether.

Michael Sheen writes off over $1 million of debt for 900 Welsh people to combat greedy banks

Michael Sheen is known to most folks for his acting roles in Good Omens, Masters of Sex, and the Twilight film franchise, but to 900 people he’s the guy who paid off their loans. Through his work and £100,000 ($129,000) of his own money, Sheen has written off £1 million ($1.29 million) of their debt.

Highlighted in his upcoming Channel 4 documentary, Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway, is Sheen’s debt acquisition company that he funded for his home community in south Wales. This comes shortly after he declared in 2021 that he was a “not-for-profit actor," pledging to use his paychecks from acting gigs to fund different projects such as this and the Welsh National Theatre. Sheen's debt acquisition company is like many others in that it purchased the debts of those people for pennies on the dollar. However, unlike several debt acquisition companies, Sheen didn't pursue the debtors to pay off their original debt for a profit.

BJ Novak provided proof that Cadbury eggs were shrinking in size back in 2007

According to Investopedia, skrinkflation "is the practice of reducing the size of a product while maintaining its sticker price. Raising the price per given amount is a strategy employed by companies, mainly in the food and beverage industries, to stealthily boost profit margins."

We experience this every day when we look at products we've bought for years and become suspicious that they're getting smaller. Easter candy hoarder and actor, B.J. Novak, ("The Office," "Inglorious Basterds"), noticed something fishy about the size of Cadbury Eggs and brought them to Conan O'Brien's attention back in 2007 in this hilarious clip.

Robert Reich brilliantly explains why 'Millennials Don't Have Any Money'

There’s always some level of generational bickering, and lately, it’s been between Baby Boomers and Millennials. Boomers claim Millennials are entitled, which is ironic since Millennials were raised by Boomers. Meanwhile, Millennials argue that Boomer selfishness has contributed to a world where it's harder for younger generations to thrive.

No matter who's right, the reality is that Millennials are on far shakier financial ground than their parents. Robert Reich, an admitted Baby Boomer, and former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, does a great job at explaining the discrepancy in a new video/blogpost entitled "Four Reasons Why Millennials Don't Have Any Money."
