Now tagless for your comfort.

In regards to the Brooke Shields photo. It sucks that her mother agreed to the pictures and that Brooke lost her court fight to buy the negatives. I think the context of displaying the photo in a exhibit highlighting sexually explicit photos is disgusting.

A friend of mine was a cop in Indiana. He drew a detail to protect an accused child molester from vigilantes and said the man had a photo of a child taped to his wall (an innocent, no nude photo) but it was surrounded by cutouts of the most graphic porn he had ever seen and he said the effect made him sick to his stomach.

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

The World Needs More Pooh

That’s the opinion of the Trustees of Pooh Properties, which manages the estates of author A. A. Milne and illustrator E.H. Shepard. They have authorized a new sequel in the Pooh series. Return to the Hundred Acre Wood has generated some controversy among Pooh purists, who argue that the original books were about growing up and moving on, and that if the creators had wanted sequels they would have generated them…

“The whole point is that the boy has to go away from his childhood, from this very idyllic pastoral world of his childhood,” she said. “This is an absolutely perfect ending, and doing anything beyond this is pointless.”

The trustees of the estate believe the sequel will be true to the original…

“The good professor and other great lovers of Pooh will have to form their own conclusions,” Brown said. “And they may say, ‘oh, it’s not quite as good, it’s not quite the same.’ I can’t help that. All I can say is we tried very hard to do something that’s not offensive, shall we say.”

Jennifer Quinn of the AP has more details at the StarTribune. The BBC has a writeup on a new character – Lottie the Otter – created for the sequel. And The Guardian makes note in passing of the possibility that Pooh may have had OCD.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think the context of displaying the photo in a exhibit highlighting sexually explicit photos is disgusting.

See, I read that that's what the detractors said the exhibit was highlighting, but the exhibitors themselves were saying it was more to do with glamor and commercialness (not a word, but not sure which other to use).

I just have to say EWAN. Always EWAN.

I'm watching last night's Glee. I love Kristin Chenoweth. So awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Brook Shields picture, it's actually a photograph of the original photo, did I read that right? So odd. Aside from everything else.
