Do the lyrics of Gary Puckett’s 1968 ‘classic’ Young Girl make you reconsider the ramifications of a 60’s sexual revolution and simultaneously feel like you need a bath?
If so, you’d better get the hose out before watching the above video. For while Gary and his band of merry beard botherers were prevented from producing a visual articulation of their misplaced and highly inappropriate lust because videos hadn’t been invented, no such obstacle stands in the way of Zhang Muyi & Akama Miki.
I played Angry Birds yesterday. Which makes this FEMEN update even more fantabulous, and more importantly, given the subject matter today, re-le-vant. Image via facebook.
I still got annoyed by some stuff though.
That’s multitasking for you.

What Paris Hilton Allegedly Said In A Cab:
Ewwww … gay guys are the horniest people in the world … they’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS. … I would be so scared if I was a gay guy … you’ll, like, die of AIDS.
What Paris Hilton’s Rep Claims That Paris Hilton Actually Said In A Cab:
Paris was simply trying to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life-threatening disease. Her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the [Grindr, gay men’s social networking] site. The cab driver who recorded this only provided a portion of the conversation. It was not her intent to make any derogatory comments about all gays.
Yep. And I’m a daffodil.
Let’s not be churlish though. It’s pretty impressive that Paris has finally managed to alienate the one demographic even vaguely prepared to countenance her pointlessness. It’s been a long time coming, but she got there in the end!

A new dance craze is sweeping the United States, people. Familarise yourself.
Then, when you hear the opening bars of the offending accompaniment (and you will) at your office Christmas party/club/birthday bash or some other hate crime of an event you can’t politely get out of, you can vacate the premises before any unpleasantness can occur.
“You look shit now you’ve abandoned a conventional ‘feminine’ look in favour of exploring your own personality. Please change back so we can all feel more comfortable.”
I was told something similar when I was her age. It was pretty crushing at the time, but at least it was just some moron in a bar and not a national ‘newspaper’.
The possibility of a few laughs is a small price to pay to keep that finger away from the button. Image: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images North America.
If the office didn’t include overall control of “the button“, the capacity to turn slow burning conflicts into global disasters through poor admin and the requirement to understand, or even have heard of the word ‘diplomacy‘, it would be quite fun to elect Mitt Romney as President, wouldn’t it?

Indecision: From French indécision. The inability to decide on a course of action, especially if two or more possibilities exist.
Come on, dude! Hit the pavement or take the shot. You’ll probably end up with broken teeth either way, so it makes no sense to prolong the agony.

Because feminism is about women expressing themselves in a way that is truly natural to them, and not being confined to narrow stereotypes of femininity imposed upon them by others.
Or alternatively… YOU GO GIRL!

Pleasant weekend, peeps?
If not, here are some things that amused/irritated or otherwise grabbed my attention while I was trying to do other things.

Should the French edition of Closer have published topless photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge taken when she was on a private holiday with her husband?
This is the question being pondered by virtually every news outlet in lieu of publishing said photos on or in their own website or newspaper. It’s a tactic that is increasingly used by the media to distract the public from the uncomfortable questions we really should be asking in these situations, and it shocks me that so many bright, supposedly intelligent people buy into it. Apparently, it’s now more important to have your voice heard than to say anything remotely sensible or constructive. And who is going to engage with a media source that makes you question your own motives and decisions when there are so many more out there literally begging you to pass judgement on others?
