Comment on That\'s what she said (2009-03-19 14:15:05)
anecdote: We're reading The Color Purple in my English class and there is a few times in teh novel where Celie says she tingles in and touches her special "button" (clit) when thinking about Shug. Last night, my professor was talking about how the novel is set up like a melodrama or soap opera in that it's consistently "pushing the reader's button" to which half teh class started laughing. She paused, got the joke and said "omg not THAT button. Well, maybe for some readers, that button too."

I'll believe it when someone posts the hi-res version instead of two seperate photos.

Is she tanning in a sand bunker?

Those are actually harmless words. It's up to you to interpret them as sexual and the teacher cannot prove in a court of law that he meant them that way. :) Should just go under minor disruption since all he really did was interrupt class to make a joke and that's not a big deal. I'd laugh and I don't think that makes me a "bad teacher", I think it makes me a teacher who remembers her job isn't behavior modification and 'moral' law enforcement.

@thelotuseater725: Reverse the sexes and you can say the same thing about ignorant men who date obvious golddiggers and leeches and then wonder why they get fucked over for life. It applies to both sexes: Stop being fucking retards. Just because someone looks fuckable does not mean they are the perfect match for you. Level of Hotness =/= Level of Niceness.

Snopes debunked this story a while ago. Typical real pictures + fake story. meh.

Your comment makes me angry.

@reboot: SyFy. I think they finally admitted the total lack of "Sci" in their FantasY shows. Not that it's bad, but I lost interest in that channel years ago. EnBeeSea Si,B.S. Falwkes News can you imagine?

That's an awesome advertising idea... until you run into the one douchebag with no sense of humor and a good lawyer. :/

tbh, I like everyone but Dorothy. She doesn't even resemble her at all and doesn't look "reimagined" but generically drawn and then named Dorothy. At least get the color scheme right... Like blue and white check stockings and maybe an awesome vicious looking new Toto.

That's not fat that's fur (look at the legs). He's FLUFFY! <3
Comment on Red Sonja (2009-03-18 07:51:47)
ugh. You know why B-List actress Rose is doing this film? The screenplay is probably horrendous and no one with any real talent will touch it. Not to say the original was "great" but it embraced its campiness. Crap like this starts to suck when it takes itself too seriously (and tries to look like Sin City 3.0) This movie will fail. Calling it now. It's going to be about as bad as Aeon Flux.

@dieAntagonista: okay. I read up. reread. Still only saw your comment about what your aunt saw on TV. Still no actuall specific anecdotes. I'd like to see one. In fact, I am sure there are real stories about discrimination, but I can't see one law you mentioned except in vague second-hand reference from a (all media is) biased news report. Where are the actual laws? That's what I am genuinely curious about. Please don't take this in anger, if there are such laws I will be the first to condemn them right here.

@dieAntagonista: The jobs, you should look into it. And it's not a "new" law. The stories I actually read about these incidents are women refusing to follow OUR laws. It's not "religious discrimination", it refusing to play favorites. One example I recall was a woman who refused to uncover her face for teh driver's license photo. I'm sorry lady, but you can't even DRIVE back home and you want extra special treatment here, where you are free??? No. In cases like that, it is not discrimination, it's telling people that if you want freedoms as an American Woman, you have to follow the same rules that the rest of us do. And if your head gear gets in the way of your job, then you should adjust or apply somewhere else. You may as well tell me it's "discrimination" for a Jewish person to not get hired at a place only open on Saturdays. It's common sense. I bet if you actually read the individual cases, many of them are similarly blown out of proportion.

@Sticky: Live in Brooklyn for a few years. You won't condone the past, but you will understand more of the claims about seperation and seclusiveness. Just recently a sign was put up in a densely Jewish neighborhood here telling women to dress more "modestly" while walking in THEIR neighborhood. Yeah. On publically funded sidewalks and roads. nevermind that there is still a 2% NON-Jewish community of people living there as well. It's that attitude that makes people dislike the Jewish community. Again. Not condoning the actions of violence perpetrated against them, but I can see why some people get pissed off about their cockyness.
