End of the Week Links — 9/28

by Harlequin

–> I have never been a big fan of the advertising industry, but looking at these 12 Vintage Cigarette Ads They Would Never Get Away with Now, it seems like we have come a long way…it’s just too bad we started so low.  Do these remind you of any ads today – I personally prefer ads like these.  My personal favorite is probably the Santa Claus – I mean, who doesn’t have a jolly old grandpa with a hacking cough?

–> I am a total animal lover, but these guys definitely don’t make me want to cuddle with them.  I will stick to becoming a cat lady, thank you very much.

–>I know we are all pretty sick of the trivial nature of politics lately, but after watching the debate on Friday I was more annoyed than ever with John McCain.  Not only was there some nonsense talk about wearing bracelets, but I realized I can not spend 4 years watching that turtle-headed man speak on behalf of our country.  Not to mention i was not impressed by anything he said, especially after reading some of his comments over.  I can not wait for the Biden-Palin debate.  Also, check out this article on Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” comment.

–>I really enjoyed reading this random letter mocking the role of Biblical traditions in our legal system.  It’s a very clever way of seeing the blatant hypocrisy of the religious rite; and it is just pretty funny.

So I hope you all had a great weekend full of anonymous sex and drunken debauchery; that’s what I was aiming for, but like most of my plans it failed to come to fruition…

Save Bitch Magazine!

by Kelly

As you’ve probably heard, the magazine industry is losing money & readers as internet competitors become more popular, accessible, and affordable. While I personally don’t care if they stop putting out Seventeen magazine or similar publications, it’s the non-profits and alternative mags that are being hit the hardest — not the publications with the support of a large, rich company (so Vogue, Maxim, etc have less to worry about).

I didn’t know, until the ladies of Evil Slutopia brought it to my attention, that Bitch magazine is one of the publications suffering. Bitch Magazine, entering its 13th year of publication (!!), is a non-profit feminist organization. As owner of BITCHfest & a big fan of feminist publications, I’m so saddened by the prospect of Bitch magazine being forced to shut up shop!

However, as this video from members of Bitch’s editorial board shows, there is something fans & readers of Bitch can do:

They need to raise 40,000 dollars by October 15th (the cost of putting out the next issue of Bitch). I urge you to donate whatever you can or subscribe for their next 4 issues, so that Bitch can continue to reach such a wide audience. I’m not sure what the long-term plan for Bitch is, but I believe that it’s an important cause to keep it afloat for as long as possible.

Donate by clicking the above banner, or click here to read more about Bitch magazine.

I think the Evil Slutopia Clique said it best:

In this world of abstinence only sex ed and Sarah Palin and Miley Cyrus and gay marriage bans and Jordin Sparks calling people sluts and anti-choice groups calling everyone sluts and on and on, we need magazines like Bitch to help us stay informed and stay sane. Feed the Bitch today!

End of the Week Links — 9/14

–> Check out this hilarious viral video of comedienne Tina Fey’s dead-on impersonation of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. I knew they looked alike, but she’s really convincing.

–> If you can’t get enough news on Palin, here is a blog post by Mudflats, a political blogger from Alaska. He describes the Welcome Home Rally for Palin and the “Alaska Women Reject Palin” rally that attracted way more participants than anyone expected. He posts a video & pictures too!

–> Growing up, I was addicted to fairy tales (okay, I love them even still). Bluebeard, for some reason, was always my favorite. So I was excited when I “Stumbled upon” this awesome online collection of fairy tales. Now I can read more of my childhood favorites, like The Tinder Box and The Little Mermaid (it’s not anything like the Disney version!!)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

An Alaskan Viewpoint

by Kelly

In reference to the Sarah Palin controversy:

I would like to direct you all to some informative posts by Alaskan political blogger, Mudflats:

What is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan’s Perspective


Local Reaction to the Palin Bombshell

Sarah Palin? McCain’s Next Tropy Girl

I am completely confused and shocked by John McCain’s choice. He seems to think Palin will attract the women’s vote. However, as Mudflats puts it, “McCain obviously is looking for the Hillary vote since apparently he thinks women need no other criteria than a set of ovaries to mark their ballot, right? I mean women don’t actually make policy decisions, do they?”

I’m sorry McCain, but this will most definitely NOT get my vote.

And The Crown Goes To…

by Harlequin

I am sure there are a trillion posts about John McCain’s pick for VP. But come on, Sarah Palin is just a goldmine for words; I am excited just thinking about the state of our nation’s politics today – black guys with afros, beauty queens, and body builders! The world is a crazy place, and this election perfectly exemplifies the changing nature of our society. I don’t know much about her, but from what I have been reading there is only one thing in my mind: confusion.

Ok McCain, we know Barack Obama had to pick an old white guy to hedge his bets. Apparently you had to hedge yours by choosing a woman – one who is certainly not bad to look at, given her status as a beauty pageant contestant. She looks like a former model dressed up in executive clothes, but much less of a tight-ass than your wife Cindy McCain.

I am frustrated. Frustrated because I would love to hear a woman’s voice in the presidency, but really more frustrated because this is apparently the kind of woman we need to start off with. I admire her tenacity and her success, but then I read about her background and her stance on certain issues and I just want to send her back to Alaska. She may be a financial whiz, but then you look at her opinions on social issues. She was obviously picked because she is a woman who shares many of McCain’s viewpoints. She is a woman who is against abortion, a friend of gay people who is against gay marriage, and a mother of an 18-year-old son in the military who spends her spare time shooting rifles. McCain says she is perfect for the job, but he puts a big hole through his inexperience angle. If Obama is inexperienced, then what the hell would you call Miss Congeniality? She ain’t no Hillary, but sadly she may just have the right genitals to sway a few female voters.

So be sure to check back here for more about Sarah Palin – there is so much more to say about her, so she has won the honor of being the next bitch on the burning block!
