Since we recently had a post about being able to enjoy football/soccer and the eye candy simultaneously, let me just leave this here:

Ever since I rewatched Dollhouse I can't get Lissie's "Everywhere I Go" off my mind.

Isn't there some kind of rule that names don't get released until the police has notified the next of kin?

Is anyone else watching ENG - ITA? Forza Italia!

Given that the animators claimed that Elsa and Anna had to have basically the same face because women are so difficult to animate (what with all their emotions and stuff, I guess), I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of a doubt here.

"The seem to be overwhelmingly white with some Asiatic features"

Without the shoelaces the shoes are useless when walking on snow. Furthermore I'm pretty sure that small issues like this one actually do matter when you are a member of a people that has been marginalized, misrepresented and oppressed for centuries, and then a huge company does a movie that will most likely be very…

They probably did a quick google image search, but I doubt that it went beyond that. Read the article I linked in my post. They didn't even get the reindeer's antlers right.

Inconsistent script writing and not adhering to basic laws of physics is hardly the worst of what is wrong with Frozen. The video fails to mention how the movie is a huge fuck you to the people whose culture and heritage it's ripping off or even claiming to represent. And how it took the female driven original fairy…

I'm from a part of the world where a vast majority of the population does not belong to any religious group. While Christianity is due to historical reasons to a certain extent a part of our culture (we celebrate Christmas and Easter, most state holidays are important days in the Christian calendar, people say phrases…

I'm German, football is a goddamn religion here and if I'd had a Euro for every time I was told that I only enjoy the sport because of the men in short pants or that my ovaries prevent me from understanding the first thing about the game, I could've afforded the ticket to Brazil.

She. Exposing war crimes to the media is not treason. It's being of service to one's country. A country consists of the people who live there, not of the government and the military. The people have a right to know if crimes were committed in their name.

The public vote in Russia actually gave her 8 points, but getting zero points from the jury made her get a lower rank. She was in the Top 5 of almost every participating country (except for Estonia. What's up with Estonia?), if you only look at the public vote.

Actually, if you check how the tv audiences voted (their votes combined with the votes of a national jury decided how many points every country gave to the performers) you will find, that Conchita was successful in every participating country. In Estonia she was ranked #8 (out of 26 or 27 - I don't remember) in the…

"Germany is rapidly developing an incredibly strong far-right movement" Wait, what? I could name several European countries where far-right parties got more votes in the last election or even form (part of) the government.

I follow many feminists on tumblr and while they blog about periods and cramps, I can't recall a single blog post on masturbation on my dash.

I got the 'where babies come from' talk and the 'now that you started your period, you can get pregnant, so use the pill if you feel like doing it" talk. That's it. Fortunately the internet was invented. I must admit I learned a lot about masturbation and different kinds of birth control and sexual preferences from…

My parents split when I was two years old and compared to friends whose parents got divorced when they were older I got the better end of the deal. I don't remember any fights my parents had, I don't remember the time we lived together as a family, so I can't miss that. As I grew up I got to know my parents separately…

This is the first time I'm awake when an open thread gets posted. My European time zone and my sleeping habits usually prevent it, so that I end up reading everyone's posts the next morning when no one's around to answer anymore. There are a couple of things I wanted to say/ask if I ever made it early to Saturday…

If I remember correctly, the cafe plans on having two separate areas, one of which only the cats can enter. I assume that's where they'll be placing the litter boxes, so that the customers don't have to be near them and the cats can take a dump in peace.
