Kinda makes you want to be more inventive this year, huh?

And why is it most women's costumes can be boiled down to either "frump" or "slut" (with 85-90% falling in the slut category)? I hate that. Women have no real choices in costumes unless they make it themselves.

I found this on boingboing.net. They're pimping this as if it's ridiculous and backward and uber-uptight-Christian to have a problem with this "toy" but personally I think it's heinous to have a toy aimed at 10 year old girls adorned with taglines like "Unleash the sex kitten inside...simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go! Soon you'll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars."

Tesco condemned for selling pole dancing toy

Hey, little girl! You, too, can be a stripper!!

And if you're still not "earning a fortune" after that, there's always hooking!

You people don't post enough to keep me sufficiently distracted from studying for my midterms. Step it up, people!!

Another Livejournal Meme, stolen from nfayre

1. Randomly pick a song from your music library.
2. Find the lyrics for the first four verses/chorus
3. Go to Google translation and translate the lyrics from English into German.
4. Take the new German lyrics and translate them into French.
5. Take the new French lyrics and translate them into English.
6. Post the NEW English lyrics and have people guess the original song

This song is pretty obvious, but it's still got humor value, so I'm posting it...
