Celebrity Snatch

By now you may or may not have seen the pictures of a commando Britney Speares flashing her taco as she's getting out of Paris Hilton's car. Why is celebrity snatch such big news? Who knows. All I know is that I felt compelled to click through even though I already know what a vagina looks like.

PS: It's a picture of a vagina so it's the very definition of Not Safe for Work.

Possibly insensitive observation

If Subway sandwiches are so good for you, how come there are so many overweight people who work at Subway?

A response to backlash

So I guess they (wisely) decided to pull the plug on this O.J. thing. Of course, I'm sure they only did it because of negative backlash and not because they realised the error of their ways. I don't really buy the publisher's story that she was only doing it to help other abuse victims. She knew it would boost her career. But she probably realised, in the end, that it would be more of a negative boost than a positive one.

What. The. Eff.

I am struggling to find the words for this. How did this idea even come about? Why would OJ write a book like this if he still denies killing her? Is he basically rubbing the fact that he got away with murder in the faces of America? Is it true that ANY press is good press? Regardless, I think this is pretty much the definitive example of mainstream media being evil and shameless.

Borat in the news

I wonder which two of the three bigoted little frat boys in the movie have decided to sue Sacha Baron Cohen for suffering “humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community…”

Yes, it must be horribly anguishing to be revealed to all of America that you're racist, moronic drunks. I would put money on the fact that their fathers are behind the lawsuit. “Son, you've shamed me and you've shamed our family. But Daddy will take care of this. Now, stop crying like a faggot and get to class.”

We can't forget because you won't let us.

This morning, the property managers of our building sent out this email:

Please take a minute today to remember the fallen heros of the tragedy of September 11, 2001 and the families and friends who mourn their loss. In your reflection, renew your commitment to your faith and to the principles on which our great country is founded. When we hear or see the phrase “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”, let it remind us of our responsibility to our nation and our personal responsibility to build a better world for future generations of Americans.

Many of you are probably being bombarded with similar sentiments today. So far no one has mentioned our Nation’s responsibility to build a better world for current generations.

I’m Old

So I just got home and I'm eating a late-night bowl of cereal/dinner. I flipped through the channels on the tv and came across the MTV Video Awards and it threw me into a quandary. I'm not sure if I'm drunk, completely out of touch, or losing my mind but who the hell are the All American Rejects and since when was Paris Hilton an independent film producer? Why is Stevo from Jackass cool? Nick Lachey is incapable of reading a teleprompter naturally. Madonna's latest video looks like a work-out tape. I think I will change the channel now before I start to seriously fear for the youth of our nation.

ridicule

This article was seriously on the FRONT PAGE of our local paper this morning. What? There's nothing more important going on the world than teenagers feeling alienated by MySpace?

confederacy now?

I know a lot of people have blogged recently about the governments' proposition to put severe, ridiculous restrictions on abortion and birth control. This week, The Stranger has an article that outlines all of these threats in one, horrifying, concise list. It's all very Handmaid's Tale and it makes my vagina clench with fear. There isn't, however, any suggestion on what can be done about these threats. Just the notion that we should all be aware of what's being proposed. So we're aware. Now what? I don't want to wake up one morning and find out that I must now make babies for wealthy white men and their frigid wives through a hole in a sheet, or else run away and become a prohibition-style whore. But to whom can we voice such concerns (besides the other liberal bloggers out there)? And how can we make sure this doesn't happen?

This is the best thing since $10K 4 a Wife! (the latter of which has now been upgraded to glorious FLASH!)
