Hmmm. Well maybe you shouldn't spend 12 hours on a photo shoot where you are fully clothed and the "vaginas" are pretty much naked and used as nothing but props to showcase your male awesomeness whilst once again relegating the status of the human being to whom the vagina is attached to meaningless sexual object.

Just saying.

Leave Brittany Alone...

December 23rd 2009 23:06

...Brittany Murphy that is. I'm astounded at all the finger pointing, speculation, claims and counter claims. A family has just lost a young daughter, can we not let them grieve and just wait until the coroner's report before discussing how she died and why?

When my 31 year old brother died suddenly from a cardiac malfunction we had to put up with whispers of drug use and conspiracy. Turns out he had a heart defect. That's all. Maybe i wouldn't feel this way if I hadn't lost someone I loved at such a young age. But I did and all I think of is the absolute hell Murphy's family is going through because we went through it too. Magnified by a thousand because they know the whole world has to have an opinion on it.

ThoughtZone: Fair and Balanced

October 29th 2009 01:56

Yesterday I posted this mega-cute pic of ~~Jesus Christ~~ Barack Obama holding a wee little pink baby (complete with fairy wings and all). I hope this doesn't give the impression that I am in any way bias in my political leanings. So it is in the interests of ~~Free Speech~~ fair and balanced journalism I am now posting another politician-with-baby photo, this time featuring none other than Obama's predecessor George W Bush.

Sorry to those of you who commented on my "Why, Natalie Portman, Why?" post and who may therefore be wondering what happened to it. No, it wasn't Harvey Weinstein monitoring the internets for any anti-Polanski diatribes, I deleted it on account of it not being very thoughtful. I will have another crack at the issue when I have calmed down a little and attempted to see things from the other point of view.

On Things That Infuriate Me

August 24th 2009 20:17

Even as women's rights groups in Afghanistan were protesting against a new law which effectively makes it legal for Shia Muslim men to rape their wives, women in the landlocked African country of Mali were also protesting a new law. But in Mali's case the new law actually strengthened the rights of women by giving them equal rights in marriage and strengthening their inheritance rights as well as those of children born out of wedlock.

So why were these women protesting? Because they, as part of the tens of thousands who attended protest rallies across the country believe the new is un-Islamic. From the BBC

The Most Trusted Journalist In America

July 28th 2009 09:20

For many years it was celebrated anchorman Walter Cronkite. But when he died earlier this month Time magazine conducted a nation wide survey, asking 9409 Americans this question: Now that Walter Cronkite has passed on, who is America's most trusted newscaster?

To make it easier Time kindly made it a multiple choice question with surveyees choosing between Charlie Gibson (ABC), Brian Williams (NBC). Katie Couric (CBS) and Jon Stewart (Comedy Central

How My Brother Died

July 7th 2009 03:49

The day after my brother died the police handed us the Coroner's certificate. The sudden and shocking death of my 31 year old brother was summarised in four cold words: Cardiac Tamponade, Aortic Dissection. No, we had no idea what it meant either.

My brother wasn't sick. At least not as far as we knew knew. A few days before his death he complained of some chest and back pains but two visits to his GP only yielded the advice to rest up and go to the hospital if the pain got worse. For his part, my brother googled his symptoms and the best Dr Google could do was advise him that he possibly had pesticide poisoning. The GP agreed. So two days before he died my brother told me that he was not feeling a hundred percent because he had eaten too many mandarins

Fire and Rain/Ode To My Brother

June 4th 2009 07:08

This song, long a favourite of mine took on a whole new meaning to me when it came on radio the day I heard that my father passed away back in 2003. Exactly two weeks ago today I thought of this song again when I heard the news that my younger brother had died suddenly. It is not my intention to analyse this song at this time but merely to try and give an indication of what I am feeling in this, the darkest and most hopeless time I have ever experienced
