Not to be annoying... (actually, perhaps it is to be annoying...) but isn't it kind of discriminatory to go around counting which races are depicted in which ways, particularly in meaningless mock articles?
I could just be bitter that the role of the shoebomber was played by a white kid. We earned that stereotype, dammit. I think it's high time that people started showing respect for that.
Ralph Nader's "bad"? I thought he was more of a nuisance...

Haha. It's coming true! Now Chrissy's blonde! (warning: one of the people in the picture may be topless... also, one of them may be Beck...)
Meanwhile, in Nintendo's Porn Division...

Don't worry Alison I won't have a costume. Unless a starving university student counts as a costume or a bystandard in a horror/natural diaster/science fiction movie.

(Just so you know, I'm merely gearing up for my women's studies class... I won't be so accusatorially analytical all the time)
But all the same, I'm still not sure what sort of costume to wear. I think I'll be going to Value Village tomorrow morning to find some stuff... woo hoo budget shopping! I am thinking I'll wear a beehive though... so 50's or 60's wear here I come!

why is it that the only non-white kids in that linked page are "bad guys"? I smell racism. At least the white kids are both "good" and "bad" characters, but the blacks are only "bad" characters... and there only appears to be black and white people to choose from... hmm, I suppose multiculturalism isn't on the top of everyone's list when creating an advertisement, but still, there are some seriously awful connotations of white- and black-ness in that ad.
Like the Greatest Canadian ad where there's an overweight black woman receptionist tabulating all the votes... hmm, racist, sizeist and patriarchal at the same time.

Look a t-shirt of the destroyer of the world!:
He's only a baby but believe me when Chtulluth (Correct spelling?) grows up to be a elder god you'll be in trouble.

That was a great wakeup! Some weird Tay picture and weird halloween costumes. The calm before the storm I guess. Jere I can go to your party, don't know if I'll dress up but I'll go.
