In Case You Missed It...

Here's a story that I added to my favourites a while ago, but I think the topic will is one that will continue to be discussed for years to come.

As you've noticed, parents of young girls seem to have trouble finding suitable clothing for their daughters. Rather than buying a $10 Dora the Whatever shirt, they spend money on glitter tube tops, denim miniskirts and pleather boots, size 2. You might as well offer your child up on an alter to a pedo.

British designer and owner of Twisted Twee, Suzi Warren created this shirt.

Of course parents were up in arms against this design but Warren had a legitimate reason for creating it

"The Nipple Tassel t-shirt was designed as a response to my own distaste at seeing mini versions of sexy clothes on young children," she wrote. "Five-year-olds wearing slashed mini skirts and boob tubes, little thumb-sucking Britneys."

"...by embellishing this style of garment with printed nipple tassels, the result is not that the baby becomes sexualized by the tassels, but that the tassels are made benign and silly by the baby. In fact the more inert, innocent and unaware the infant is, the more ludicrous the contrast becomes."

Personally I think the tassles shirt covers up a child better than alot of the Hannah Montana slash tops out there. Would I buy this for my child? Only if I knew that years later they wouldn't be embarassed by it. Not something I would take a chance on so no.
BUT! I completely understand what she was getting at so more power to her.

I would, however purchase other things from the site.
Twisted Twee is a clothing store that caters to infants and pre-schoolers and sells retro nappies and shirts with rabid dobermans on them. Nothing is more interesting to me than retro images and my favourite dog. Check out the site:

Now see this...

This is why white people get such a bad rep.
Because they have bad spokespeople

PETA you bastards

They're just children!!

PETA is targeting children, starting with McDonalds lovers. They handed out "Unhappy Meals" to children at a MickeyDs in Albany, NY.

Scare tactics, is that all you have? sure you can fight for the humane treatment of animals and their rights or whatever, I mean no one likes to see a baby calf get strangled, BUT, don't send the kids home crying.

Spokeswoman, Lindsay Rajt, was quoted saying,"But most kids really love animals, and if they knew that McDonald's suppliers were breaking the wings and legs of gentle animals like chickens, I think that you'd have to drag kids into McDonald's kicking and screaming."

They don't seem to mind when Tom and Jerry try blowing each other up...

The "Unhappy Meals" come in boxes that are "stained" with blood, a rubber chicken, pictures of dismembered animals a a shirt that says "Chicken McCruelty "
oh and then there's the knife-wielding Ronald McDonald

I think they are way WAY out of line

PETA never worked on me with the whole broken legs of a cow, snapped beak of a chicken. I might just be heartless, I love my meat

Journalist's return to United States

Definitely something to wake up to.

Journalists Laura Ling, and Euna Lee are back on home turf after a four-month imprisonment in North Korea where they faced a hard labor prison sentence of 12 years on charges that they had entered the territory illegally. President Bill Clinton managed to secure their freedom after talks with Kim Jong-Il. After being reunited with their families, Ling spoke to the press on behalf of both the women. My favourite part of her speech:

" . . . When we walked in through the doors, we saw, standing before us, president Bill Clinton," Ling said. "We were shocked. But we knew instantly in our hearts that the nightmare of our lives was finally coming to an end. And now we stand here, home and free."

There is already some shakiness regarding the ACTUAL goings-on in the meeting that took place. The North Korean government is saying that Clinton apologized to Jong-Il on behalf of the women, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, says that these statements are false.

Many are amazed at everything was accomplished in such a short time period, especially if you look at how relations between the US and North Korea have been going downhill.

There is already speculation that the move to free the journalists was orchestrated to make Kim Jong-Il look like a good leader, but personally I thought that the only benefit he got out of this, was that he showed his people that he is in good health and still capable of running a country, even though earlier reports this year suggested that he may be on his death-bed if not bed-ridden by a stroke.

Whatever the case, two women are free and back home reuniting with their families.

It is truely an emotional and fantastic moment.

But in re-capping it someone at channel 7 messed up and while listening to a reporter speak about the heartfelt emotion and inspiration of the families, we the viewers were looking at this this:

I laughed quite hard, but then refocused. Words simply cannot describe how all the family members must be feeling. It is truely a great moment.
