Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Art Crawl!!!

Exactly!

That Chilean volcano, the cyclone (and another is forming - nice), earthquakes, tornados all across the southern part of this country AND we've got to kill each other too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh boy. This is awful: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Extremely creepy ad for men's pants (from 1970-ish) [link]

text of the ad:

Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks.

Back in the days when blatant misogyny was OK in advertising....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

doll-to-doll carpeting

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought it was bad, and then I saw the picture. Gah.

That's horrifying on several levels. The misogyny, the overt bestiality, and the animal cruelty.

OK, this is bad....

What year is this again?

I am stunned that this t-shirt could be proudly displayed anywhere anymore.

Now get this: the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is running an online poll that is asking, "What do you think of the Obama t-shirt?", with two choices: "It's racist" and "it's fine". You might be wondering why the newspaper would even have to ask…but here's the kicker.

"It's fine" is winning.

Do you think maybe we can shift the balance there? Or should we just let this indictment of Georgia's racism stand?

eta: I went and voted - "it's racist" is now winning.

And we all know how scientific online polls are anyway....
