Birth or not DOT COM

from cakewrecks.blogspot.com

So Gawker.com  brought this story to my attention and it has really got me reeling.  The basic gist is that a couple in MN have created a website where people can vote on whether or not they keep their baby.  The vote on the website will "heavily influence" their decision.  It's unclear whether their motivations are personal or political, but they are most certainly, to quote South Park (the greatest show of our time)... DUMbDUMbDUMbDUMbDUMb!

I think this website devalues everyone's position on reproductive choices.  Voting for this couple to keep or abort their child as a way for people to voice their pro-life or pro-choice sentiments is illogical.  I think most pro-choice advocates are not sitting around waiting for the chance to counsel every pregnant woman that comes their way to ABORT ABORT ABORT. I also think most pro-lifers are not hoping people like these will give them the option to "save life" via a like/unlike poll button that then allows them to be parents without looking at other options such as adoption. These people obviously have another agenda going and I really hope that it's a stunt and this woman is not really pregnant...b/c I agree with gawker's assessment: THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE PARENTS or on the internet...ew gross...can we vote them off the internet?!?!

Adopt-a-word

Thank you fug girls for pointing to me to this site http://www.savethewords.org/ dedicating to saving the English language.  Adopt a word to use so that it doesn't go extinct. I adopted latibule which is a hiding place.  So I'm off to my latibule to go read some more books for FBC!!!

UGGGHHHH

So this is very dated and I'm sure most of you have read this by now...but for those of you who haven't

No wonder Fat Activism is necessary.  I don't even like her apology.  While I give her credit for acknowledging her own issues with food/body image and her obvious inability to see others in a healthy light, WHY IS SHE A WRITER FOR A WOMEN'S MAGAZINE!?!?!  This is seriously scary.  I guess we can now see why the images from these magazines are so skewed...so are their creator's minds!!

I also take issue with this because I happen to adore who Melissa McCarthy who plays Molly (and was also on Gilmore girls in a role that didn't focus on her weight and all and HORROR just focused on the characters fun personality!!!) and thinks any guy (or gal) would be lucky to make out with her on or off screen!

HEY MODERATELY OVERWEIGHT WORLD...

THIS IS WHAT MAURA KELLY THINKS OF YOU

IT'S BRITNEY BITCH!

Well no it's not...but after not writing here for a while I'm hoping my unlikely comeback is just as successful and I regain control over my assets and guardianship of my children...OK?!?! I've had many comments from people who said they miss reading the blog and how much they enjoyed it.  So I've had a renewed spirit.  I need to get the wheel's a spinning on new blog posts, so it'll probably just be article links to start off.  Get ready!!!
