Bye bye Dawkins: a voice from the past

Bye bye Dawkins: a voice from the past

By tigtog on July 7, 2011

How very disappointing, but sadly not surprising, that he turned out be such a smug, patronising git about more than just religious beliefs.

Toyota “Pounding” ad.

By Lauredhel on December 14, 2009

Everyone’s talking about this prize-winning Toyota Yaris ad, winner of a competition organised by by Saatchi & Saatchi. Here it is, transcribed for you, for those who want to access the conversations but can’t access the ads.

On late-term abortions and sex ed/contraception

By Lauredhel on June 4, 2009

Something that’s been bugging me in the increased abortion talk after George Tiller’s assassination is the derail into talking about sex ed and contraceptive availability. Sex ed and contraceptive availability and looking after babies are extremely important things. They’re vital. And they will also do nothing to reduce the rate of late-term abortion. (They won’t [...]

In which I contribute to the harshing of Apatow’s Google Buzz

By tigtog on May 9, 2009

Somebody posting as “Phoebus” is very concerned that a snarkfest on Shakesville (regarding the comingsoontoacinemanearyou Dudebrocalypse that is a Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen/Adam Sandler “comedy” (see the trailer)) is a display of “vitriol” and “personal animus”, two terms which are so beloved of concerned commentors everywhere that one must suspect the existence of a Concern Manual [...]

Mothers Not Human: In The Words Of Our Premier

Antibreastfeeding Bingo

By Lauredhel on February 20, 2009

We’ve done the other Bingos, and this one’s long overdue. With a nod to all the misogynist trolls out there who’ve provided the material for this card, I present: Antibreastfeeding Bingo! It’s focussed on public breastfeeding conversations, not “mommy wars” type conversations, which are well covered by the Bingo at Mom’s Tinfoil Hat, and by [...]
