Ramblings

The great old US of A. Where men are men and women are . . . .property. In one state at least. Maybe in a few others. And perhaps in the eyes of the Federal Government.

No really, I'm not making this shit up. Go have read yourselves. Spousal theft ? What the fuck is that all about ? And yes, the swearing is totally necessary. So to steal a spouse do you get all done up in black, break in during the night and stick them in a large sack with SWAG stenciled in in large black letters ? After the big break in, said spouse is wined and dined in captivity until they develop Stockholm syndrome and stay with the spouse thief. Not quite as glamorous as cat burglar but a step up from bag snatcher ?

What I'm really interested in is has this particular quirk in the legal system ever been successful used by a woman ? That wouldn't be a good thing either, you can't own your husband any more than you can own your wife. It would just be interesting as a comparison.

On to other things.

Brazilian waxes for kids. Yup, that really does say Brazilian waxes for kids. And Nair hair removal products aimed at 10-15 year olds. What a truly fucked up world we live in. Apparently no one really likes pubic hair and you should start removing it as soon as it turns up. And why not rip the lot out ? The Full Bikini Wax is the way to go to feel sexy. Apparently. Sexy ? Why should kids that age want to feel sexy ? Why are people advocating that these kids should be worried about that ? Here's the link. I'm not sure what the target age for this website is but they are also promoting Nancy Drew online games.

I may have said this before but I think removing all your pubic hair is creepy. Really, really creepy. It's even more so when encouraged in kids.

And more creepy stuff. Channel 4's programme My Fake Baby. As one friend pointed out it's probably just as well that those freaky fake babies exist, some people just shouldn't have kids.

Moving on, hoe the hell did they miss this ? Nine years of hearing loss over a freakin' cotton bud head ? He's seen doctors and specialist and none of them manged to spot a lump of cotton wool in his ear ? They put it down to wax. Wax, cotton wool, not a lot of difference there. Perhaps they should go back to school for a while.

Was going to go for more but I have better things to do. Sleep, mainly.
