suffragettes died for this? mid-Atlantic update

The title I stole from Guido Fawkes, as I also stole the invitation below; a more missable evening of patronizing “entertainment” and ugly bridesmaid shoes I have never seen. This is what the Brits think will engage women voters and have them rushing the polling places like they were selling Manolos at half price! If you vote Green, do you get 10% off Birkenstocks?

if I vote Labour, do I get birkenstocks?

However…

This is what Gawker unearthed today, and it shows the Americans to be equally stereotypical, issue-free, and patronizing.

Seriously, I think I need a girl drink

Aniston/Jolie Star Wars

This pic says it all, really. The Aniston/Jolie star wars are what originally drove me off VanityFair’s forum…not just once, not just twice, but fully three times. If the Team Aniston/Team Jolie throng resurface again for yet another death match I’m just gonna suggest they take it to meatspace. Or, given my assumptions about vast hordes of women with far too much time on their hands, an overidentification with celebutards, and a propensity to take other people’s marriage problems far, far too personally, let’s call it “lardspace” instead.

Jack O'LanternThis is one of those unfairly neglected posts that are clicked once and then forgotten. A moving work of art by the team responsible for Chad Vader, Night Shift Manager, this piece suffered earlier by being somewhat ahead of its time.

That time has now come.

Behold The Life and Death of a Pumpkin, by some Wisconsonian guys channelling Bergman.

Daniel Radcliffe, dirty dawg!!!
