Dear Texas: Um...okay...

A proposed bill in Texas legislature will require a doctor to perform an ultrasound two hours before a woman's abortion, and if a heartbeat is there, it must be audible to the woman.

Are they now that "fingernails" girl from Juno? Seriously. This is stupid.

What even annoys me more is some MySpace bumper sticker where some man obviously is whining about the fact that he'll never get to know his "son" because his girlfriend wanted to be a model.
Okay, you do not know the sex of the baby until 5 months. I've never heard of someone to have an abortion that late. This guy shouldn't even know if his unborn child is a boy. Unless he's just assuming his child is a boy automatically.

Back onto this though, this is stupid. I doubt someone who wants an abortion is going to be moved by a picture of the fetus inside of her on a screen.

I'm tired of women being bullied over their decisions, by protesters outside of clinics who claim that they didn't get the full "truth" in there and make up some crap about "post-abortion sydrome", and now force women to have an ultra sound. It's their choice. Let a person make their own choices.

My Little Red Book

A book is coming out, and it's all about one thing: Periods.

My Little Red Book is a compilation of stories of first periods from many women of different race, faith, and cultural backgrounds including Meg Cabot, Gloria Steinem, Erica Jong and Cecily von Ziegesar, as well as modern teenagers.

My first period story isn't all that quirky or funny.

I was in fifth grade, and one sunny day, after playing out in the front yard with my brothers, I go inside the house to use the bathroom, and I see some red on my undies. I search for my mother to tell her the news. She directed me to the pads in another bathroom in our house (we have three bathrooms in our house), and I don't her remember saying much else, which is shocking, considering my mom gets over gleeful of other milestones in my life, like starting high school.
The next day, my best friends (who are twin sisters) came over to hang out. As we were sitting in my family room, I casually told them "I got my period yesterday." as Mechelle (the one I was closest to) told me she got hers yesterday too. Her sister, Danielle, didn't.

See, I'm lucky to have grown up in a culture where talking about periods is more accepted. Me and my friends in fifth grade would sit on the bars and discuss our puberty milestones. All but one girl in school were wearing bras by that time.

However, when I was younger, the little red dot wasn't quite adored. Only one girl didn't find the puberty video gross. And no, that one girl wasn't me. When they gave us our puberty packets in fourth grade, I tried to hide it from everyone else, yet I did have a discussion on bras with my mother, and she tried to explain menstruation to me a little better.

So, compared to these other stories, I'm probably lucky in the society I grew up in.

Lent

I've decided what I'm giving up for Lent. I'm giving up watching television for daytime. I don't even technically watch it. It's just background noise. It wastes electricity and I'm probably killing the enviroment.

So, without this newfound lack of television, I'm hoping to get some writing accomplished.

Musing, rants, lyrics, maybe even stories?

The pencil is my limit! Ha! See that lame joke there!

Jesus would be proud, wouldn't he?

Taking A Stand

You cannot say that we're living in a good time for women, when a woman in the media is severely beaten to the point of being in the hospital, and people make discreet versions of "she had it coming", and it's actually taken seriously.

While the Violence Against Women Act, written by then-Senator Joe Biden, may have helped, we need to do just a little more.

Did you know 1 in 3 American women and 1 out of 4 women worldwide will expierence domestic/dating violence in their lifetime? Only 25% of physical assaults caused by a intimate partner are reported. One half of all homeless women in the country are fleeing from this situation. The leading cause of injury to women is domestic violence, and more than car crashes, muggings and rape combined.

And the worst part? When I opened my town paper one day, I saw a headline blaring "Women's Shelter Closes". That's right. A women's shelter in my own area is closing thanks to the economy.

Three-time heavyweight wrestling champ Lennox Lewis has spoken out against it, Missy Elliott has become a celebrity spokesperson for Break the Cycle, Lauren Conrad has designed a necklace, sold by Mark, which benefits domestic violence, and many other celebrities say that this is not okay.

Sure, we can rant about it all day, but our own president has said that if you want to change something, you need to change it. So, we know we need to do something, but now we're at that road block. What can we do?

If you or a friend qualifies for a good percentage, or any one, of these symptoms, speak out. Need help talking to a friend you suspect isn't being treated right? Here's help on the tough talk.

Now that we've got local ways to help out of the way, what about ways to help end dating violence in our community? Check out these ideas from DoSomething.org. Help support your local women's shelter any way you can. Even switch from Google to GoodSearch.com, and type "Domestic Violence" on "Enter your charity here", and choose one of the charities below.

So let's do this!

My critique of Oscar Fashion

The Academy Awards are like a huge Hollywood fashion show. So, here are hits, misses, and WTFs of 2009's Academy Awards.


Vanessa Hudgens
Now this mermaid dress of the night went well with the black and bouqet on her chest!


Kate Winslet
Possibly the star of the night, she shined in this frock.


Whoopi Goldberg
Um...whopee?


Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn
Aw... this two are so cutely coordinated!


Robert Pattinson
Sure, the tux is nice, but WTF is with the hair? This does not dazzle me.


Beyonce Knowles
I actually like Sasha Fierce's dress.


Penelope Cruz
Love her dress. Her herself? Not so much.


Miley Cyrus
She probably thinks like a Twihard when it comes to dresses. "Ooo...sparkly! I need it!"


Zac Efron
The tux is allright, but why did he slick his hair back? Debonaire, Zac. Not nerdy.


Tilda Swinton
I would make a remark, but after watching Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, I'm kind of afraid of her.


Meryl Streep
Work it Meryl!

 

More tomorrow!

Bands that Should (or even NEED to) Cover These Disney Songs

I was lurking on my good friend Riley's page, and came across a post where we discussed a possibility of "Disney Goes Punk", and this inspired me to post this.

My favorite artists, who are poular on here, and what Disney songs I feel they should cover. Of course, you are going to disagree with me. So, you may certainly say what you feel this band should cover, but if you get rude about it, I'm going to get rude back.

So, here we go:

My Chemical Romance- "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame or "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid
My Chemical Romance Pictures, Images and Photos

Gerard Way just has that sinister-like voice to him. It may give some fourteen year old girls orgasms, but if he's not going to be preventing some stupid-fuck princess from getting her true love, he might as well be singing these songs, with bro Mikey on bass, Bob Bryar on drums, and Ray Toro and Frank Iero on guitar.

Also, as a good friend of mine always quoted, Gerard Way once said he hates that bands that sing about "break-ups with their girlfriends." Well, lucky for you Gerard! "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is Ursula the seawitch attempting to trick a mermaid into selling her voice and future for her one true prince. And "Hellfire" is about Claude Frollo's lust for Esmeralda, his struggle with doing the "Godly" thing, and ultimately declaring that if he can't have Esmeralda, she can burn in Hell. I'm sure he'll do great vocals on these songs.

Charlotte Sometimes- "Cruella DeVille" from 101 Dalmations
charlotte sometimes Pictures, Images and Photos

This girl can whip out some serious vocals. Imagine her version of this classic song about a fur hag and just how evil she is? It would be awesome. It would be just right.

The Academy Is...- "Arabian Night" from Aladdin
The Academy is... Pictures, Images and Photos

Imagine Bill's voice crooning "Arabian Niiiiiiiiiiiiights like arabian days" while Michael probably takes out some sweet guitar riff. And maybe Sisky randomly screaming "Woo!" somewhere. And it has a sexual innuendo! Of course, for the sake of their Arabian, or Arabian-American fans, they might not want to use the original version.

All Time Low- "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast or "Bear Necessities" from The Jungle Book
All Time Low Pictures, Images and Photos

These guys love joking around. So they need some upbeat, fun songs to complement them. Maybe if they were going to do a video, they could do the "Poppin'" dance, but in butler suits! Or bear suits.

We The Kings- "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from The Lion King
we the kings Pictures, Images and Photos

Maybe it's Travis Clark's hair talking, but something tells me this song just suits them.

Cobra Starship- "Under The Sea" from The Little Mermaid
Cobra Starship Pictures, Images and Photos

The sea needs to be funked up. This calls for a job from Cobra Starship.
Come on! I know I must be insane, but imagine Victoria Asher playing her keytar riff? Imagine Gabe Saporta trying a Jamaican accent? Exactly.

Fall Out Boy- "Circle of Life" or "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" both from The Lion King
fall out boy Pictures, Images and Photos

Patrick Stump could probably give Elton John a run for his money. No wait. He would. And Patrick is a musical genius. He could probably make this song better than it already is.

Just imagining Patrick crooning these songs just feels natural. Like it just fits. And it's the perfect lullaby for little Bronx.

Paramore- "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid or "Bella Notte" from The Lady and the Tramp
paramore Pictures, Images and Photos

Maybe it was Hayley William's hair and outfit to the '07 Grammys that led me to believe this, but I think Hayley wants to be a mermaid, or wanted to be one when she was younger. Thus, "Part of Your World" would totally fit her!

And, since Paramore did do the Twilight soundtrack and are on board for New Moon, them trying out a song with a little Italian influence would be cool. Would Bella like Italian food? Her name is Bella...

And finally, the video that started it all:
The Maine- "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from The Lion King

While "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was not originally a Disney song, it made a cameo in The Lion King thanks to Timon and Pumbaa, and thus, needed to make a cameo in my list.

 

 

I hope you all enjoyed this list, and if you feel I left off something, say so in the comments!

Dadnapped: A Review

If you disagree with me, please don't be rude.

Basically the film is about a girl, who's the daughter of the author of a cult book series about a spy named Tripp Zoome. Melissa Morris, our protagonist, is looking forward to her vacation with her father Neal, out in the wilderness, camping under a tent, swatting mosquitos, the whole kit and kaboodle. That is, until he tells her at the last minute that he needs to go to a "Zoomer" convention "pose for photos, sign some autographs, judge a contest and go." That is, until some crazy fanboys kidnap her father, interrupting her vacation!

I do not understand why this Tripp Zoome is so popular. Whenever the Tripps talk to Melissa, he's real annoying. As Melissa says "Peter Pan is a fictional character. Tripp Zoome is a pain in my butt."

I feel so sorry for Melissa. She was so eager for her camping trip with her father, and this annoying Tripp Zoome had to interrupt it. If I were her, I would pray that an evil scientist blew him up.

So, there are basically two kidnappers. One group is just some young fanboys with a van who just wanted to impress Neal with their Zoominess. The other group are grown brothers who kidnap Neal and his daughter so that he can finish their fanfic personally, and force Melissa to read it!

So, while sometimes, I get a little saddened by the whole thing where Neal sometimes neglects his daughter for Tripp Zoome. Sure "Then why don't you write a character about me?" is a bit whiny, but he knows a lot about Tripp, and not that much about Melissa. Not a good sign.

It also really scares me how everyone tries to show how "Zoome" they are for Neal. Do you honestly think people wave pencils around and ask J.K. Rowling if they're "Potter" enough?

But I do love how smart and resourceful Melissa is. Bravo.

Honestly, I thought it was okay. If you're bored with nothing but a TV and this is on, it's good enough to entertain yourself. It's not super amazing or anything.

A Disney Villains Study: Claude Frollo

I countinue my lolz study into Disney Villains. Join me!

Today, we take a look at Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Claude Frollo Pictures, Images and Photos

Claude Frollo commits genocide, lusts after women, tries to drown a baby, then keeps that child locked up in a bell tower for the remainder of his life, offers the woman he lusts after freedom in exchange for sex, attempts to murder his "adopted" son, destroys villages to find "the gypsy girl", all in the name of God. I need to read that Bibly thing one more time.

Frollo has an extreme hatred of the gypsy race, believing them to "live outside natural order" and take part in "heathen" behaviour. He is also a proud member of the Ku Klux Klan.

He also sings one of the greatest villain songs ever, and possibly the creepiest Disney songs. In his song, "Hellfire", he struggles between "good" and "bad" actions and his so-called religious beliefs, until he exclaims, that if he can't have that filthy gypsy girl, Esmeralda, then she can burn in hell. This song could give grown, tough, mature adults nightmares. Take a look for yourself:

It is probably reccomended you randomly burst into this song...anywhere.

Hell, even the Harry Potter fanvid version could probably pass for creepy...

 

So, that concludes my lolz study of Judge Claude Frollo, the racist, yet uber-religious bastard from Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Disney Villains: A Study

Here, I will study Disney's most popular villains, and my thoughts on them. FYI, this is intended as a joke.

Let's start off with Jafar from Aladdin.
jafar Pictures, Images and Photos

His sidekick is a talking bird named Iago, voiced by Gilbert Gottfried, that he apparently taught to talk, which really pisses off the monkey, Abu, and the flying magic carpet.

Throughout the majority of Aladdin, he knows much about magic and aspires to be a sorceror, yet has no magical abilities. Think Argus Filch from Harry Potter. But, unlike Filch, who just bitches to his cat and punishes Hogwarts students, he seeks out Robin Williams to grant him his wish to rule Agrabah. And his desperation to rule Agrabah without a Genie is clear. He even attempts to marry a sixteen-year-old Jasmine. God, all this to rule some rat-hole town in the desert?

Once he wishes to become a genie, he is trapped in the lamp. That is, until The Return of Jafar!

In The Return of Jafar, he works for a bad theif named Abis Mal. And not bad-mean. I mean bad-untalented. Jafar tricks his master out of his first two wishes, much like how his nemesis tricked Robin Williams out of the pit of despair, er, Cave of Wonders, on a freebie.

Of course, in Return of Jafar is where his badass-ness decreases. He works for a guy who can't even tell when a movie is over, he cross-dresses as Jasmine, even his own parrot sidekick turns on him. He even defeats Genie in a musical number. And his wardrobe turns into some terribly flashy ensemble.

And then, in an episode of the Hercules animated series, he returns, and teams up with Hades to defeat Aladdin and Hercules. Hmm... sounds like a perfect fanfic idea!

He may be thought of as gone in Return of Jafar, but he is certainly not forgotten! He is mentioned several times by Aladdin in instances where "I learned that when Jafar and I went to..." or when talking about a teenage sorceror named Mozenrath "IT'S JAFAR JR.!"

 

This concludes today study of Disney villains. Hope you enjoyed it! If not, I'll strike you down with something or other.

Who's trying to ruin the Disney Girls' fun?

Yesterday, Miley Cyrus' twitter account was hacked. The hacker left Twitter gems such as "demi lovato showed me her nipple once she has big knockers" and "I HATE SELENA GOMEZ"
When you click on Miley's twitter feed, you get that little owl reading "This account was suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here."

And now, Demi Lovato has been hacked, and when you click on Demi's feed, you get the outline of a bird reading "This page doesn't exist!"
And of course, Demi's BFF Selena Gomez left a tweet "OMFG DUDE DEMI WAS HACKED SHE'S GONE! SHE JUST TXTD ME :( i cant take this!!!!!! HACKERS LEAVE US ALONE!!!!! "

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato Pictures, Images and Photos

Who is this Diney twitter hacker? It's only a matter of time before poor Selena is next.

Oh my God, I've been spending way too much time on Twitter.

EDIT: Oh my God you guys, Dylan Sprouse has called the hackers "dick heads".
EDIT2: I have recieved word that Selena Gomez has now deleted her Twitter. Sigh... These girls were making Twitter so much fun.

Posthumous Oscars

It's a hard fact, but it's just the truth: People die. Of course, it hurts when people die before they get a big award, or such. Remember when Barrack Obama's grandmother, who had raised him, died the day before he was elected as President of the United States?

Of course, the Oscars are coming up. And with the late Heath Ledger nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight. So, let's dig deeper into posthumous Oscars, shall we?

The only actor to win an Academy Award posthumously was Peter Finch in 1977 for his role as Howard Beale in Network. The first ever posthumous Oscar win was Sidney Howard, screenwriter of Gone With the Wind.

The first nominee for a posthumous Oscar was actress Jeanne Eagles in 1921. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Letter. James Dean has been nominated twice posthumously. For Best Actor in East of Eden in 1955 and again in the same category for Giant in 1956. And lyricist Howard Ashman was nominated for "Best Original Song" in 1992 for Aladdin's "Friend Like Me", yet lost to "A Whole New World" from the same film.

Many more on Posthumous Oscars can be found here.

Nickelodeon's Spectacular!

With the success of High School Musical, Nickelodeon needs a way to stay relevant, yes?

Enter Spectacular!

After a performance at a club with his band, Nikko is then "double-dumped": he is kicked out of the band, and his girlfriend breaks up with him. Fortunately, he is spotted by a young girl by the name of Courtney, who is looking for a male vocalist for her school's show choir, entitled "Spectacular" after the former male, Royce, dropped out to join the rival Ta-Da.

When he checks out "Spectacular", he is repulsed. Courtney offers an amount of money, which he refuses. Until he goes in for a meeting with famed record producer, and learns he needs a demo, and needs money to record said demo. He then joins "Spectacular", which includes suffering from the severely bossy Courtney and spacey Mr. Romano.

After a falling out between "Spectacular" and Nikko and Courtney when their secrets were exposed, they then make-up and decide to unite together to win show choir nationals, and showcase everyone else's talents.

The songs, much like Disney, are catchy, but the dance moves are a little cheesy. I have no idea what "show choir" is, but from this movie, I guess it's a medium-ensemble of kids singing songs from the 80s and dressing in flashy outfits. Really flashy. "Spectacular", as we first see them, wear hideously scene pink outfits, and "Ta-Da" are decked out in flashy gold.

Nikko, while not only being hot, has an attitude. Could be good, could be bad. Courtney, however, is somewhat scary. As described from the piece of dialouge most certainly reflects her:
"Come on guys, it's only Courtney, not Darth Vader."
"What's the difference?"
Of course, these two do not get along. At all. Until they sing a song together on bowling night.

"Ta-Da" lead, Tammi, played by Nick veteran, Victoria Justice, seems like Courtney, only way more conniving and backstabbing then Courtney's little stint with sneaking around in the movie. Royce, when he shows his supposed "toughness" by getting in a fight with Nikko over Courtney, it's supposed to sound threatening, but comes off as stereotypically gay. You'd think if Courtney had dated Royce, she probably would've written "Ur So Gay" about him.

Overall, it is an obvious attempt to grab HSM's success, and it was okay. I'm only biased on the "okay" part, because, obviously, Nolan Gerard Funk, who plays Nikko, is hot.

Disney Channel and Nickelodeon to rumble AGAIN!

We all know there is obviously a feud between Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Sure, Nick may surrender at times and show commercial for Hannah Montana dolls and the like, but there is no denying the bitterness between them.

So, tonight, at 8 PM (Pacific Coast time), the two channels will compete for the viewer's attention. Will the Nick response to Disney's High School Musical, titled Spectacular! capture your attention, or will the all-star Disney cast of Dadnapped reign supreme?

Well, as I type this and the two premiering any minute, I'm going with Spectacular! tonight. For one, there'll be less commercials during the airing, and I hate commercials. Two, I like musicals. Three, I can see Dadnapped tomorrow and give you a review.

Margaret Cho writes a song for Miley

So, we all know the recent Miley Cyrus-Asian face controversy, right?

Well, it's not a controversy until Margaret Cho puts her two cents in. Or song lyrics.

Posted on Margaret Cho's blog, she wrote the song "Oh Miley" to her

Miley Cyrus made some chinky eyes
Standing behind an Asian guy
I don’t know if this should fly
As if there wasn’t enough to despise

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of
Her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas!

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
it doesn’t make us all smiley

Why is there nothing that Asians can do?
To make fun of other races as easily as you
Why isn’t racism against Asians taboo?
Why are we always so racially screwed!

All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!

Miley, take note: It could've gone worse.

Hit single, y/n?

It's just not your week/month

Miley Cyrus:

First, another controversy of hers erupts when pictures of her and her friends "making goofy faces" was interpreted as making fun of Asians.
Then, for this same incident, she is sued by an Asian American group for $4 billion from her precious stash of cash.
Then according to friends (or, possibly frenemies) Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, Miley's twitter account was hacked. Password changed and everything. She has since had the account deleted, and the uproar even caused Selena Gomez to contemplate quitting her Twitter account.

Miley Cyrus, it's just not your week.

 

Who else is not having such a good week? Or even month?
I'll be updating!

Sonny With A Chance/So Random/Mackenzie Falls: It's all one show actually

Riding off her high from Camp Rock and her debut album, Don't Forget, Demi Lovato comes in with her own show, Sonny With A Chance.

So Demi Lovato has her own doll, and some people still don't know who she is? Will Sonny fix that?

The first episode has Sonny and her mother coming on to the set of Sonny's first day on the set of the show So Random. After she meets the cast, she learns she has to share a dressing room with veteran/bitch, or perhaps veteran bitch, Tawni Hart. Tawni is not pleased at all with the thought of a new girl, and sharing a dressing room with anyone. So she threatens Sonny. After hours of going aong with it and trying to make nice, Sonny is fed up, and suggest her ideas to improve a skit.

The second episode has Sonny fitting in more on the So Random set, yet she is still a n00b, which is shown when she gets an autograph from Chad Dylan Cooper, star of the rival show, Mackenzie Falls. Mackenzie actors think they're serious actors and So Random comedians think Mackenzie actors are arrogant. After Sonny's attempt to get the So Random cast to make peace with Mackenzie actors fails, they challenge each other to musical chairs.

So Random is so much like Nickeodeon's All That, is makes me cry that Nick ever cancelled it. The rival show, Mackenzie Falls, is maybe meant to be an attempt cross over the early One Tree Hill with Gossip Girl, but comes across as the classic The Amanda Show skit, Moody's Point. And the actual show itself, Sonny With A Chance?

It's how you woud think backstage at All That must've been like. Craziness, catfights, and a feud between a neighbouring "serious business" show.

At first, you'd think Sonny is such a "good-hearted girl" and it's annoying, but then when she lets out her attitude, you start to like her. Zora, is, in show descriptions on the website, a child genius, but is clearly a little...odd?

So, if you're missing All That, give Sonny With A Chance a try. And so far, Sonny doesn't have as much Disney pop songs as Hannah Montana does.

So far, I like Sonny. But of course, opinions may differ from mine.

Which name would you actually consider?

I came up with this idea after a post on chambrofsekrits.

Even though the name is from a popular book, movie, or television series, what would you actually consider.

Yes, you may talk about Twilight.

I'm partially interested in this because I'm going to be an aunt, so I could use some names for my sister.

I would consider Hermione, Ginevra, Lily, Luna, and James from Harry Potter.
Juno from, well, Juno.
And that's all I got so far.

I'm interested in hearing your results!

Way to go Summit

So, many people keep asking "Why don't they just cast natives in it?" about New Moon.

There are many reasons why, but, of course, when they do get the chance to cast a Native American, Summit decided not to.

Basically, a young women of Native American descent went to audition for New Moon. She did not audition because she wanted to be a part of the "Twilight" franchise, but because she wanted to represent her heritage.

She was told by a member of casting that she'd be seen. She drove all the way from Ohio, and waited in line for hours, to be seen. Summit so graciously thanked her by cutting the line off right in front of her and ignoring her pleas to audition. Even though this was an open casting call.

Thoughts?

Mine are:

Summit, I'm going to f***ing kick your f***ing ass.

Immortality and why it isn't so fabulous

Tonight, you're all going to be a part of a social expirement.

So, with the recent spike of assorted vampire media, immortality has been hotter than ever. And why not? You never have to die, you never age, and you remain your beautiful self.

This, is the problem.

If you live forever, all of your current friends will die, and you will have barely anyone around your age. You'd also have to watch society collapse before your eyes. Sure, you could witness the day when all gays in America can marry, or when we have a woman president, or a gay president, but what about the people having to watch everyone go from reading books and being all educated, to people turning into TV watching zombies? You may go into rants ala my Grandma. Rants about the drive-thru door at Starbucks, or about one guy cleaning his ear with his friend's hat tassel (do not ask)?

And let's think about resting, shall we?
What was supposed to be a 20-minute nap turns into a 20-year nap. Someone just waking up from a 20-year-nap would be shocked to learn that Michael Jackson's a pedo and we have a black president. Madonna's all of the sudden struggling to stay on top, and you have no clue what "grunge" is.

Now, children, imagine how that feels?

Paris Hilton's Dating Advice

Paris Hilton is coming out with a book on dating advice.

Here is a summary emmyangeldust and I came up with over Twitter (with a small contribution from ikkyg.) So without further ado, I present Paris Hilton's advice on dating. Ladies, take note:

Tip #1: Fuck as many people as you can!

Tip #2: If you've been dating for two weeks, it is too long. Dump him.

Tip #3: If you see a hot guy while dating another. That's ok...fuck him anyway!

Tip #4: If he takes out a camera while you are having sex, that is okay.

Tip #5: Make sure that, when in public, your boyfriend's hand has a permanent place up your skirt or down your shirt.

Tip #6: The way to attract a man is summed up in one word: Nipples.

Tip #7: When in doubt resort to nudity.

Tip #8: Being friends with Joe Francis gains you access to the best guys.

Tip #9: Having more than 1 guy on the go at a time doesn't make you a slut, you're simply, like, so hot.

Tip #10: It always helps to be born in the best family. If you aren't, then tough luck icky poor person.

Tip #11: Tattoos on a guy are ok...just as long as they have heaps of money!

Tip #12: You must assume your gender roles always by wearing excessive amounts of pink. It turns men on.

Tip #13: One must always have a small ugly dog with them. They frighten away all the uglies...

Tip #14: And have so many, that you never actually care for them! Because you are out with your latest man!

Tip #15: One must always refrain from wearing underwear. This allows the paparazzi full view of your vag at all times.

With these tips from Paris Hilton, you are sure to be getting the man of your dreams.

Oh dear Lord

So Feministing is running a "Sexist Superbowl Commercial" thing, and one for the new "Diet Pepsi for Men" was featured.

Thus, came a comment starting off with "Hey You Dumb Dykes! Shut up already!"

And here is a quote from the comment:

"Tampon ads don't target men because they don't need to; likewise, this ad only targeted men because it wanted men to buy this product."

Tampon ads do not target men, because men do not need tampons. What was your grade in sex ed?

Tales of MySpace Bumper Stickers

Last night, out of curiousity, I looked under "conservative politics" While I loved the "Proud Wife of an Army Man" stuff and the "We Will Never Forget" ones, I nearly tore my hair out at some of the rascist/borderlining sexist ones. But I rarely saw a homophobic one, until I finally came across a few.

So, here are some gross MySpace Bumper Stickers.


Oh, right. Like made-up "Post Abortion Syndrome" statistics. How about this women get unbiased info?


Oh yeah, because we all feel so sorry for Osama bin Laden.


You're right. America has reached a new level of stupidity by spreading hate through bumper stickers.


Obama won. Deal with it.


Obama won. Deal with it.


You know, Hitler hated more than just the Jews. I'm pretty sure he hated black people too.


We finally have some homophobia going on!
Because being able to spend the rest of your life with one you love is a right.


Not only is this probably not possible, it's kinda disgusting.

You're right. This is not close-minded at all.


And I hate to break it to you, some of us don't really care about race.


And those are some bumper stickers that made me ashamed.
