You know, the first thing that we're going to talk about today is this Ariana Grande situation that's been absolutely blowing up online.

0:15.8

And it's really focusing on how girls under the age of 18 are portrayed in media. Now, Ariana Grande, of course, now over the age of 18, but a lot of people have been looking
