Tell them you have a very contagious case of shingles, and hope that they didn't *gasp* actually use your towel and mat. After you collect your belongings, advise them to bathe in scalding hot bleach water. It's the only way to be sure they don't contract your flesh-eating virus.

Thank god someone said it. You're absolutely right. I can't stand being around people who believe our lives should revolve around their kids.

If they had waited a few years the studios wouldn't have been able to profit as much from the popularity from the books and Swedish version. Coming up with your own original ideas is haaard.

Careful, don't give them ideas! Oh who am I kidding - axe marketers reading a feminist blog? That would mean they actually put some effort in trying to reach their demographic.

This commercial would have been so much better if the lady cop ended up taking him down and cuffing him at the end. Sexy or no, the dude just robbed a store. The body spray is supposed to make her irresistible to men - not make her suck at her job. Empowerment fail.

Darn, now I have to go make chocolate cupcakes. YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.

"When he's inside of me, I feel whole?" Eh? Ehh?? Or was it "The War for Cerci's Cunt!" Sorry, I'm a big GOT fan.

Aw, it looks like a cute little robin's egg in a nest.

... I think I DO want to live on this planet, after all. Thank you, kitten and deer!

And I'm a 24 year old with the drive of an 80 year old woman. And you know what? It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Low libidos unite!

I keep the lid down otherwise my cats will drink out of the bowl.

Parents: But... talking to kids about sex is so *shudder* uncomfortable. Isn't this the school's job?

Next on Fox news! "Sex: the dangerous new trend? ALL the teens are doing it. In fact, your teen daughter is probably doing it. RIGHT NOW. We interrupt this program to bring you scantily clad cheerleaders."

I had an almost-30 year old man try to argue with me the other day that condoms are completely useless. He insisted that they only protect against transmission of disease 50/50 of the time. No matter what statistics I presented to him, I was still dead wrong. This was on the internet by the way, so I doubt that he was…

I think what's most problematic that the "drag queen" portrayed in such a negative light. She overcompensates with her mascara, cleavage, and lipgloss, laying it all on thick, in contrast to the cisgendered woman with her understated makeup and accessories. It's as if the reaction the ad execs want us to have is "ew,…

For real. It's things like this that make me want to go all vigilante superhero on their collective asses. People like Sahar Gul deserve justice, and they won't get it from their government.

I had the same reaction you did. But I realize that people need to see this, to be reminded of the atrocities committed in the world, and perhaps inspire them to act. It's hoping for an awful lot, but we see more violent images each day in movie trailers and tv commercials. This is the kind of violence we should be…

It's fortunate that I'm not allergic to the two cats that live in my bedroom. Yesterday I vacuumed under the bed and it FILLED up the bag, not once - but twice - with grey fur.

I guess it's a testament to my jadedness that my initial reaction was that mother and child were making it all up, probably to get money.

Aww I wish I had a life-size Toroto so I could lie on it's tummy. Or a catbus - that would certainly come in handy. Happy New Year!
