Funny, my co-worker and I were discussing fresh pumpkin this morning, and how utterly bland it is.

Thanks JT. Your article struck a nerve, as I have ranted on this IRL as well.

Exactly this, thank you!

It's not completely debunked, but there are definitely some issues around over testing, and the stress of having an abnormal mammogram that turns out to be nothing in 95% of cases. I've found it handy to talk to my GP about what makes the most sense for me, which is like every 2 years. 'Course my last one I let

Look, I think it's important to have regular mammograms, even though there is some valid debate about over-testing. I just think there are better campaigns than the pink ribbon stuff, which just comes across to me as a self-congratulatory PR stunt rather than genuine care about the health issue.

No, but that sounds really condescending.

Oh, I know it definitely did some good at the outset, but as you say now it's this branding thing.

As a woman, I despise what I consider to be the utter fetishization of breast cancer, and those ludicrous pink ribbons on everything in October. What the hell is "awareness" supposed to be anyway? I am very aware of breast cancer, thanks, that's a cancer that you get in your breasts right? J.F.C.

There was exactly one Latina in my private high school in Miami. And she was from South America, not Cuba. Apparently A-Rod went there many years after I graduated, but it's still pretty WASP-tastic.

Seconded! (I posted the same question down thread.)

What happened to The Young Ones coverage? I thought Jason was coming back to cover the second season after a one week break, but that was back in August!

Worked for Shane MacGowan.

Too bad this isn't going to be on Showtime, t'would make a find double-feature with Shameless.

I grew up in Miami in the 70's/early 80's and that documentary really captures how effing crazy it was.

Wow, you really can get ANYTHING on Amazon Prime these days!

Where's Bambi? WHERE'S BAMBI???

That line drives me bat shit crazy.

Yes, heavy on both.
