@a4ashley: Oh, the slapping - that's an expression, sorry. Although that did happen to me! My grandmother used to hit me in the back of the head with her shoe all the time - well into my 20s.

@Jugoslovenka (Slatka): Or it's this. I feel... stupid... after watching it. Wide-eyed, confused. But I still love it.

@jordanbaker: They'll just take it as a sign to have more.

@a4ashley: I agree with you on principal - but that's the case for all children, for everything their parents tell them not to do.

I'm tempted to watch What Women Want again now that I know the real Mel Gibson.

Oh, how checklists change. I've talked about this with my girlfriends and most of them agree they would never date now the men they thought were fantastic when younger.

@belarussiantsarina: Ha! I just love her personality. She's so... she thinks she's so hot, but she's kind of weird, and that makes her actually hot - but she's oblivious to the difference? I can't explain.

@Jugoslovenka (Slatka): Hahaha, they were my favorite two characters in a long time.

Bosnian Big Brother. All the way. Especially the Muslim women, like these two. I check every hairstyle, every fashion choice. I'm obsessed.

Oh, Mahmoud, please be my Valentine. :)

Biram and Georgios, nice Scottish names, ha!

Aww... just steal it and have it on another day.

I love Rousseff's smile.

@Alys Brangwin is wedded to calamity: It looks to me like the list is specific to Europe.

@LostBedStuy: I don't know. But very bad inflation.
