~ overheard at the book trader:

‘do you remember that movie ‘orca’?’
‘yes’
‘those whales have a long memory. that girl may have done something to make that whale mad long ago, and he has been waiting for his chance to get her’.

hmm, the way we remember it, the orca in ‘orca’ caused a town to explode into fiery pieces. we can only wish…

~   if the movie ‘kick-ass’ is true at all to the source material, the tween star will be slicing heads in half and shooting people through the taint, but some fucking pussy choad minlfs are worked up about her saying words that the new york times thinks aren’t mainstream: spoiler alert – ‘cunt’ and ‘cock’?

‘cunt’ isn’t mainstream?  one of the most iconic shows in the history of television, ‘the sopranos’, which i know the times has creamed over, did not let a day go by without helping to put ‘cunt’ a household usage, ex: ‘i’m about a cunt hair away from throwing this text-a-day project in the trash’.

what fucking parent would be letting their kids go see–spoiler alert–humans being chopped in half and burned alive, even if the killer was 18+, but ‘blanch’ at the idea of seeing a 13 year old saying ‘fuck’.  we didn’t have red band trailers when we were 13–back in the 1960’s–to teach us about ‘pecker’, ‘snatch’, and ‘cumguzzling’, but we sure as shit talked about it, as does every kid whose mom works at beliefnet – guaranteed.

about the only thing that ‘makes sense’ in this article ironically comes from a corporate studio:

“It”s really important for people to know what kind of movie this is so they can make an appropriate decision about whether or not they want to see it.” – NYTimes.com.

you mean they don’t want some simple asswipe fuckwit walking into the theater, expecting to see mr. fantastic using his stretching abilities for some gosh-darn zany dancing, surprised upon seeing a comic book movie about a guy whose only superpower is beating people in the face with sticks?

After hot dog death, choking warning urged

CHICAGO – When 4-year-old Eric Stavros Adler choked to death on a piece of hot dog, his anguished mother never dreamed that the popular kids’ food could be so dangerous.

Some food makers including Oscar Mayer have warning labels about choking, but not nearly enough, says Joan Stavros Adler, Eric’s mom.
– msnbc.com.

it’s hard enough trying to explain to a swede why the united states is in our top three (3) favourite countries, but the notion that we need warning labels to tell us that putting objects in our mouths carries the risk of choking or that we need help with the activity eating makes this country seem so incontrovertibly stupid, we will never win the argument.

Her son had eaten hot dogs before without any problem.

Hot dogs are “almost as American as apple pie,” she said. “You really don’t know how horrible it can be.”

agreed, we’ve surely never head heard anything horrible about hot dogs!

do we need to create an ‘inane’ or ‘purely dumb’ tag, or would ‘obvious‘ cover that?

though the creators of that ‘child lingerie’ line have since piped up and said that the outfits are tutus, not teddies. we suppose that means pedophiles can now have the catalogs sent directly to their home address rather than the abandoned house across the street.

~ at the risk of being labeled a ‘useless shit’ by jonn ground – and now at the risk of being accused of misquoting him, we would like to point out that we didn’t spend the entire month of january cutting or staring at our least favorite adobe product. we put down our razors and swung by the work.group offices to spit out 31 façades , about six (6) of which are decent, or at least as good as half the pieces in the design prescription , all in the name of ‘fun-a-day’.
