Well I guess you're a fucking idiot because they're forcing Goldiblox to make a donation to "one or more charities selected by Beastie Boys that support science, technology, engineering and mathematics education for girls." and apologize for commercializing their music. God fucking forbid an artist doesn't want their…

Everyone knows that GoldieBlox did this on purpose right?? It was a calculated move to gain more attention and favor to a product than a legally correct (and therefore more expensive) commercial ever could.

More power to you. Good luck!!

If you really want to bust out the science, a fetus is a parasite through birth. Scientifically speaking, a parasite is an organism that lives off of another organism but provides nothing in return (love does not count here).

You might want to re-read the article. It's pretty important stuff regarding the formation and growth of cancerous tumors that might lead to more effective treatments and early detection. At no point does the article call children, born or otherwise, cancers or imply that they're bad. So try not to project your own…

I didn't see any of that in the article. I would also think that someone who was confident about their decision to have children wouldn't need the entire world to constantly reaffirm to them that they made the best possible choice, they would know it was right for them because it would feel right. If reading an…

A good mom reads and studies child development, educational theory, discipline methods, and anything else that she thinks she needs to know to raise her child.

I've read books on healthcare, but that doesn't make me a doctor. I've also read books on finance, but that doesn't make me an accountant. And books on psychology, but that doesn't make me a psychologist. Some women are good mothers, but that doesn't change the fact that anyone with a functioning uterus can become a…

1) It's still the Beastie's song. And, according to Goldiebox, they were doing the commercial as a "comment" on the song. So it's very much about the Beastie's work and intent, regardless of the company re-recording the song.

Look take your emotional pretense off of the topic. Children are great and CAN be a blessing. The world has too many people and they are killing the planet. So, if you unequivocally state that all babies are a miracle then you have some issues. If you are poor or live in a poor nation, then you just had a…

The lady doth project too much, methinks.

I thought I had been pretty well educated on pregnancy since I have siblings who were born when I was a teenager (so past the whole "there's a baby in mommy's belly! Isn't that wonderful?!?" stage). I was still smacked down by reality when pregnant with my son. Caring for an infant was the hardest thing I've ever had…

Ethically? HAH!! That's a great lesson for young girls. "Hey little ladies! If your goal is to help out all the other little ladies achieve their engineering dreams, it's A-OK to steal some intellectual property to attain your financial goals". So Stealing is OK, being a meany isn't.

Jesus fucking Christ, did you not read the article? This is exactly what they claimed, and they sued the Beasties. Adam and Mike never filed anything against them.

Wait, I think you mean…

I'm sorry, you aren't even a mother yet you will tell actual mothers how they should feel about motherhood? yeahthatmakesfuckingsense

Also, GoldieBlox sued them FIRST, probably in an attempt to do exactly what happened, which is bring them extra attention and drum up sympathies. Honestly, the whole mess put me firmly on the side of the Beastie Boys; it made GoldieBlox look really underhanded.

I think making it seem like glitter and rainbows and party time are doing women no favors

So to be clear, you haven't actually experienced this thing your demanding everyone enjoy? I have never and will never experience childbirth, because of that fact (also because I'm not an asshole) I would never tell anyone how they should feel about their own pregnancy.

I am no big fan of the Beastie Boys, but the idea that they are "ruining" a start up is likely false. Furthermore, you do understand that once they open the door to commercialization of their music for one, even someone who is doing it "ethically" (and I would very much argue against the idea that GoldieBlox acted…
