So now you know…

I dont understand why women feel such a need to be so bossy on this issue. Maybe you prefer a pump. so use it. why do breast feeders think they need to crusade against people using alternate methods than their preferred one to feed their damn baby? straight from the tit, pumped to a bottle, synthetic formula – who the hell cares? the claims over each ones superiority are so overblown and inaccurately stated that its ridiculous. Dont new moms have enough stress to worry about? I see no need for anyone harassing them or delivering a guilt trip over which perfectly acceptable method they use to nourish their child.

“To me, the whole point of a magazine cover is to get your attention,” says Rick Stengel, Time‘s managing editor. “From the moment that we started talking about this story as a cover possibility, it was like I couldn’t get out of the meetings. There was so much opinion and passion about it and discussion. What that told me is, boy, this is a story that people care a lot about.”

She has reportedly been banned by local NJ tanning salons in her area:

According to sources, employees have been ordered to ask Patricia to leave immediately if she ever shows up.

Several other nearby tanning salons — including Body Works Salon, Bodies in Heat, and Sunset Tans — have also instituted similar no-Tanning Mom policies.

As for the NJ Department of Health — a rep for the department tells us, it will be teaming up with the local Nutley Health Department to inspect the tanning salon Patricia allegedly used to tan her 5-year-old daughter … a place called City Tropics Tanning.

We’re told the inspection will be conducted in the near future.

She kindov looks like the shrunken head dude from Beetlejuice:

SNL’s take:

I’m assuming that this is the progression going on:

It’s mostly getting not-great reviews:

What if Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) spent the last days of his life trying to nab a serial killer who’s been using macabre ideas from Poe’s short stories to off his victims? “The Pit and the Pendulum,” anyone? OK, “The Raven” sounds like a TV series that gets canceled soon after its debut. But it has compensations, chief of which is John Cusack, who plays Poe with just the right blend of romantic longing and tortuous doubt.

Twitter is ablaze with “fuck you”s and…more “fuck you”s. Classy. Here’s an example of the reaction:

See what you’re doing, people?? Your endorsement of keeping the definition of a word is making people kill themselves and so fuck you.

Actually, fuck the emotional morons who are burning the legitimacy of the pro-tolerance agenda to the ground. Your intentions may be genuine but you are NOT helping.

Whats your position on Same Sex Marriage? Here are the 6 options:

1. Passionately for it and is a decisive factor in my vote
2. For it but not a decisive factor (many other issues are much more important)
3. Against the redefinition of marriage but for Civil Unions & legal privileges
4. Pro legal privileges but good people can differ on the redefining marriage part
5. Against redefining marriage AND against Civil Unions. current system is fine
   
   OR:
   
6. Was pro legal privileges & indifferent as to whether or not to hijack the word “marriage” until the horrifically poor and narcissistic gay activist PR came out as rank bullies who decreed that everyone who disagrees with them is worse than Hitler. Changing the hearts and minds of both genuinely misguided people and bigots and jerks alike is a cause i am shoulder-to-shoulder in arms with the Gay Community on, but hating, bullying and viciously attacking even good people with nothing but love and compassion for gays but still want to retain the definition of marriage like they are KKK membersis idiotic nonsense I want no part of. Using narrow minded hate to combat what you think is narrow minded hate is not a winning strategy & I resent it precisely because it DOES. NOT. WORK. (gay friendly states of FL, CA, OR, HI & more voted nay).

   The arguments for labeling every single person who believes that changing the definition of marriage from being male/female for the first time in the history of human civilization, an evil bigot are worse than the “God Hates Fags” cult leaders.I was with the movement when I thought we were fighting against hatred and intimidation but it lost me when it collectively decided to use exactly those things as a sword in the battle to convince everyone that the most affluent minority in the country is actually a governmentally oppressed lower-class because their government doesn’t have a coupon deal for their preferred sexual union. (especially when the truth about the issue is still legitimate despite being less dramatic)It’s not cool to be a dick to everyone who doesn’t agree with your opinion that you are SO much smarter than every moral, philosophical, religious, secular and organized governmental organization* that ever existed in history in your decision that all of a sudden, NOW, legal recognition of same sex couples is a dire necessary basic human right and every day that it isnt granted is some epic injustice on par with slavery. *(including ones that openly embraced homosexuality in their culture, like Rome).

   I still favor the expansion of privileges to same sex couples but i dont tolerate the activist bullies and I hope they fail. Instead, I hope clearer heads in the popular culture prevail so we can get back on the road of actual tolerance, acceptance and seamless integration to make this world a better place for everyone, regardless over which gender makes you moist or gives you a boner, like that shit matters.——–
   
   ^SUMMARY:  The part of me that cared was in favor of it, but the Failtacular advocacy for the issue has made me cancel the autopay system on the Fucks I used to give.

Sequels on the way:

The movie debuted with a staggering $207.4 million from U.S. and Canadian theaters over the weekend, the biggest debut in film history. Globally, the film has pulled in $702.2 million.

The film unites Marvel superheroes including Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor and The Hulk in a battle against a villain out to destroy the Earth. Stars include Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.

The second “Avengers” movie will follow a previously announced “Thor” and “Iron Man” sequels coming in 2013 and a new “Captain America” movie in 2014, Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger told industry analysts.

From the premier:

Imagine a ceiling of holes in a large square of the bathroom and wherever you walk, your shower comes with you. Like this except that thing I just described:

While waiting for this though, there are still other super cool options that will all be useless to me since 60% of my shower time is spent like this:

-Theres what i’m calling the hourglass-head:

and for places with too much water, theres the waterfall shower.. omgz

Most useful is this rendering of my long time idea to have a bedroom overlook an indoor pool that is accessible via bedroom water-slide:

So the concept is that you wake up but dont want to creep into a shower so instead you just roll out of bed, into your bath-schute and into the 90 degree-constant tub thats actually a mini-pool – wake up a little, THEN shower if needed and bama-lamma-glurp-derp – you’re gold like Ponyboy.

UPDATE: of course, for an authentically nature-inspired shower, one can always turn to nature itself…
