Have you ever looked at the (white) women in Oprah's audience? You could write almost exactly the same thing about them.
@ppiddy: Yeah, you might want to talk to a professional about that, because that's not healthy.
@bluebears: LADIES ARE TEH FATTIES.
For the longest time, Jezebel was pretty much the only mainstream blog I could count on not to shower me with dieting-couched-as-healthy-eating-tips. I understand that there's a huge market/demand for such articles, but it's not like there's a dearth of supply either.
@eri401: U! S! A! U! S! A!
@suiterkin: I am. Still go there for grad school, though I don't live there.
@suiterkin: Tribe pride, indeed! Though I kinda cheated, as I only attended one year as an exchange student.
@thenewmrssalazar: Haha, yes, I imagine it can be confusing when you see it without knowing what it is. Now you know!
Oh also, if you're not shy or don't live in a highly populated area, you can go rancing (running/dancing). I'm starting to think it was just a thing that was done at my college, but it was really a good invention. Basically you run while getting silly, like in this video: [www.youtube.com]
I don't really have anything to say about the article, but did want to say that I'm a (mostly) ex-lisper (how rude is it, but the way, to have an -s-sound in that term?) who went through serious speech therapy and also a person who used to speak Spanish quite well, and I'm in no way offended by the title.
Some years ago I shelled out a little money for a few Pilates classes, to make sure I had the basics right, and then I switched to doing a routine at home, either with help of a DVD or the Internet. There are a TON of free pilates videos available online, but it really helps if you have the basic techniques down,…
@Ipomoea: We are SO LUCKY we live in different language areas. Saves us the embarrassment of having similarly named spawn. Mine'll be Pippilotta Victualia Rolgordijna Kruizemunta Haguenitedottir/son (going for the Nordic dottir/son rather than the Dutch dochter/zoon because it looks prettier, dammit) Haguelastname.
I'm all for ambitious naming. I can't wait to name any offspring after Astrid Lindgren characters.

@tailfeather: And 6 weeks later, I finally saw this! Huzzah!
@duetoprivacy: The bedbugs are complementary!
Meanwhile a dieting program in The Netherlands is using wolf whistles as a "compliment" (explicitly calling them that) in its newest radio campaign. So I'm not holding my breath for a cultural change.
Dolphins are the assholes of the sea.
