@Diziet_Sma: I thought Dave was going to confess his love for Mike, explaining why a blonde bombshell needed to make a wish in the first place. #mantrappsa
I don't know that I'd mind being captured by a British granny. We could have a nice cuppa and I'd learn the latest gossip about the vicar. Yes, in my world it's still 1953 in Britain. #mantrappsa
Britain loves a random PSA. I wish I could find the one from my childhood warning men (specifically men) about the dangers of not warming up properly before weightlifting...
My first thought on seeing the headline: "This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenceless fit young men." #mantrappsa
Well, I agree w/ him on the baby wipes subject. My mother taught me about baby wipes when I was growing up & I'm surprised when other people don't keep them in the bathroom. Would you wipe a baby's bum w/ dry toilet paper or a wet wipe? It ain't astrophysics, folks.
Back to Terrence Howard: I sensed that he was an odd duck ever since Hustle & Flow & Crash. Anyone else recall Terrence going on countless chat shows w/ countless stories about his family being victims of racism? It was so bizarre.
Hmmm. Anyone see that episode of Obsessed where the woman was afraid of having bowel movements, so she used a toothbrush to scrub her asshole clean, but she did it until she bled and twice she had to get two blood transfusions because of it?
@Mary McCarthyite: Not remotely. It's just so manipulative and mean, I hate it. I actually know one of the people on the board of the local Pregnancy Center, and he was very proud of their genius plan to put that billboard there.
@Mary McCarthyite: There used to be a billboard near my house that was just a white background with the word "FETUS" in 10-foot bold black type. I cracked up every time I drove past. That one must have been a parody.

My favorite PSA was one from about 5 years ago that had the message that smoking marijuana makes you pregnant. The girl came home to her parents and took a pregnancy test and they spoke about if she was not high it wouldn't have happened. It was around the same time most of the PSAs were targeting marijuana (including the marijuana makes you run over small children on their bikes when you go through the drive through, remember that one?) A girl in one of my classes in college told me that the people who made the PSAs make them deliberately ridiculous to plant the seed of the ridiculousness in general of our current drug policy, but I have nothing to back that up with. It does make me sick the way they completely abuse statistics. Around that same time, there was another pot PSA that referenced a study of car accidents...but left out the fact that an overwhelming majority of those drivers were drunk!! So, just remember ladies...it is smoking the chronic that will make you bang like 40 dudes without a rubber, not binge drinking. In fact, marijuana is probably illegal because of its much more devastating effects than that of binge drinking.
@Megan Ellen Morrice: When I took drivers' ed, we had to watch a animated documentary that was clearly made in the 70's about the dangers of being high and driving.
It was awesome. Especially since it just looked as if it were drawn by stoners.
Ok, I know it's too late for anyone to see this, but I had to write it anyway. The exaggerating on these PSAs pisses me off because it's alienating girls from otherwise useful messages. If I was 15 again, and saw a PSA that said smoking pot was going to make me go so crazy that I would take naked photos of myself and then not remember, I would never take a PSA seriously again. Which is a shame, because some of these messages, like "know when your boyfriend is being controlling" or "don't go into strange men's houses when you're a teenage girl" are valid and important. Rant over.

We're all thrilled for you, but there are many people who don't practice good hygiene & I usually get stuck w/ them on an elevator.

My sister and I were driving down the highway and we passed a sign that said, "Abortion! It's a Black and White Issue!"
...but the photo was in grayscale.
AHAHAHAHA.
