Reddit user thesaddestpanda writes about Gwen Stefani doing an ad for a 'pay to pray' app,  "Because the intersection between shameless grifter capitalism and organized religion are two overlapping circles.

Watching your heroes get old is so depressing. I never thought I'd see trad-wife grifter Gwen Stefani but here we are I guess. Or if I did it would be stuff like fashion and makeup lines, but paying to pray? This is a new low in celebrity culture.

Also where are all the religious groups who would normally protest this? I mean if a trans girl uses a bathroom anywhere, these groups lose their minds, but Gwen trying to recreate money changers in the temple is just fine? Oh right, these groups dont actually care about anything other than pushing hate and ignorance.

Also cozying up to the religious right is a bad look for someone whose career was steeped in queer culture, queer creators, queer and liberal politics, queer iconography, and queer fans. What a kick to the shin to so many people that helped her get to where she is today. She went from gay and lesbian icon to Billy Graham."

Survey reveals Kiwis overwhelmingly support smokefree legislation Government wants to scrap | Newshu... Even more than half of National voters support the legislation.

I think everybody already knew this. They know it'll be unpopular, that's why they ain't fucking around. These guys are governing like we'll be breaking down the doors inside of a month.
