Stupid MSN
The people at msn.com are cruel and confused bastards.
So, look at the very top left and very bottom left links on this msn front page screenshot:
Soo... am I supposed to learn to love my non-bikini body or should I want a bikini body? MAKE UP YOUR MIND MSN!!! I mean, really. This is like all those horrible magazines in the checkout line at the grocery store that proclaim "10 New Ways to Trim Dem Thighs!" or something like that, right above a delicious thigh-building cake. I mean, I know the economy would fall apart and all if people weren't simultaneously spending money on junk food and weight loss products, but still. It's kinda ridiculous. Ricockulous, even.
You know what's really depressing, though? Drew and I were at Kroger the other night, and he pointed out to me something interesting. In one of the cases at the end of the aisle were displayed frozen meals on sale. On the left side, all white with delicate lettering, were the Lean Cuisines, and on the right, all blue and manly, were the Hungry Mans. Yes indeed, 'His and Hers meals'.



Stupid media. At work yesterday I heard a commercial for some anti-wrinkling thing (cream or surgery, I'm not sure which), and they had husbands' "testimonials" about how young their wives looked again. And I thought, why the hell should women try so desperately to look young for their husbands, when the latter are pretty guaranteed to let themselves go, getting all pot-bellied and wrinkly with thinning hair and hair ears and nostrils? Seriously.
