Why haven’t we heard more dissention? If you throw plastic away, you’re apt to get a 3 hour lecture about what you’re doing to the environment but NASA can BOMB THE MOON? I found one article where the author sounded somehow legitimate in his apprehension about this plan, then three paragraphs down his writing turns into a tirade about how this could negetively impact our...
regarding times list of dubious toys
boss lady: well, who would buy a homeless doll?!
me: I don't know.
boss lady: American Girl, jumped the shark! Is Matl giving the profits away to help homeless children? That would make it tolerable.
me: Are you still letting Bea get one for Christmas? Which one does she want?
boss lady: Oh, I hope not Gwen. I think she wants Felicity. What's next on the list? Harry Potter viiibraating broo...(broom stick, that the child is supposed to stradle)...oh...oh!

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month →

Feminists, leave Barbie alone. →
And go after American Girl. I usually don’t agree with the post (except for its hilarity) and I have been a hater of American Girl dolls; their loose stereotypes got me, at age 6, interested in history.

The Polanski Petition →
hoitycoity:
You can read the whole thing here. The only time they mention the crime is when they refer to it as ‘a case of morals’. How is this not a joke? Another choice excerpt:
‘By their extraterritorial nature, film festivals the world over have always permitted works to be shown and for filmmakers to present them freely and safely, even when certain States opposed this.
‘The arrest of...
hoitycoity:
