I'll just shamelessly self promote and put this...right here...

Awesome.

I have read both Battle Royale and The Hunger Games.

Definitely going to check this out. I've been reading a lot of YA since I'm also writing in that genre, and while I've found some excellent books I've also been pretty disappointed in the majority of what I've read - especially in the "first books in some hot trilogy" vein.

CO-SIGNED.

Nailed it!

Yes.

Wasn't there also a woman that died recently because she was posing by/in a river (maybe not urban wedding photography, but certainly extreme) and the water weighed down the heavy/layered dress so drastically that she ended up drowning? Horrible.

Thank you! I thought I was going nuts! Should have done my research! ;)

Starting off a post with "Oh come on. You're not that naive" in a conversation in which I wasn't even talking to you (and was not arguing with anyone or being aggressive in the least)...is pretty aggressive to me.

I'm not really sure what your point is, but is there a reason you need to be so freaking aggressive?

RIGHT?

Well, I think the point they're making is that he may have done a lot "wrong" (quotes because that assumes they're in an actual relationship) and thus it's wrong if these stories about him have any merit to let her be crucified while he pretends to be an angel.

Yeah, this is totally my take. Big corporation pays them to maintain illusion. Nothing else really makes sense about it at this point.

Haha. I was going to say something simple like "but Giraffes are LOVELY - and mostly mute" but you trumped with that.

Wow. This was fantastic. I will now be linking to this CONSTANTLY rather than having to reformulate this argument every damn time I come across these inane arguments against feminism.

Lindy ='s Quickly becoming my absolute favorite writer on Jez. Hilarious smart post.

This was hilarious.

This was hilarious.

I had one of those hand piercings a while back. It honestly looked completely badass but it was a bitch to take care of and then I couldn't easily do any boxing with gloves or wraps, so I had to let it go. I always kinda want it back though. :(
