Dan Savage penned an eye-opening commentary on the objectification of women (and men). Naked Doughnuts is his crusade, his anti-protest against women protesting a Seattle bar’s Sushi Girl. His point was that viewing women as objects was only a problem when it was a limitation; now, it’s a choice. Women can be objects but also mayors, CEOs, president, etc. (side note: can they play NFL football?)
Anyhoo, last Friday a group of friends and I went down to witness two good-looking metrosexuals plastic-wrapped and covered in Top Pot doughnuts. It was a bit of a letdown to discover that they wouldn’t be able to be completely naked, my roommate’s and girlfriend’s dreams of ring toss and hide the doughnut were quickly, sadly banished.
Logistically, I rarely eat anything off anyone’s body. It looks cool and is still a bit novel, but do you really want 37°C sushi? Doughnuts actually seem to make more sense, since I like ‘em warm. And they’re funnier.
Oops, sorry for saying the m-word.
Angry Asian Man about Dr. Seuss making WWII propaganda. Interesting; was Dr. Seuss racist? One link warns “some of the images reflect the stereotypes of the times.”
I often wonder which common phrases and practices will be taboo in times to come.
Kurt Wenner does some incredible work on sidewalks with chalk.
That’s the Upright Citizen’s Brigade.
“Why do we need a ‘Hot Chicks Room’?”
“Honey, you said the same thing about the microwave and look how much we use that sucker!”
Went to La Push this weekend with eight awesome companions. Surfing Friday and Saturday was tough work but rewarding. The rain on my head felt refreshing and cleansing. We ate like kings. Sunday morning brought a gigantic storm with twenty-five foot waves! Simply perfect.
Ebay is constantly exploring the public limits of what can actually be bought and sold. Apparently, six 30-something German women decided to auction themselves off, their service having something to do with making a party more fun. Supposedly they’ve been purchased for 25,000 Euros.
I could probably be convinced to drink a beer and talk to people for 25 grand. I could even dress like a girl.
See the average of every Playboy Centerfold, by decade. Draw your own conclusions. Also, high school yearbook averages.
Private Jessica Lynch says “The military used me!” (mefi). Suprise, suprise.
