it's just not your day, observer ...

you can still get the "classic" i-pod ....

joanna - i think you might be right there. robyn IS a much nicer person than you.
it was clear to me that it was a satirical piece - i just didn't really think the (ignored) social sub-text was very funny.

i don't get this. are we comparing watching women strip / dance about with no clothes on for the sexual gratification of men, to listening to opera? is paying to watch women as objects participating in the arts / culture?
am i totally missing the joke / point? honestly, i'm sitting here feeling a bit stupid ......

Thank you Heather, god knows we don't want to resurrect one of Tze Ming Mok's threads that never die about why women don't participate online.........
mostly it is tiring.Participate? I can hardly bear to read it.
But I will say this - isn't it weird how to understand / empathise with what it might be like for a woman to experience sexual assault and the horrors of the legal tangle that follows (if you dare to press charges), we have to compare those women to our daughters? Sexually possessive of our daughters much? Totally unable to be empathically involved with any woman who is not a blood relation (ie owned by men in the family) much?
Time i went to bed i think.

i think it was utah ... no oral sex. imagine.

agree with josh. facebook = myspace for grownups. but myspace does suck, and i think it's mainly because of all the graphics heavy backgrounds people use. the servers must be fairly groaning under the weight. all i know is, no other site makes my 'puter need a lie down.
-
things i hate about myspace:
- that people are able to send me huge, cheesy postcards wishing me a happy day / nice weekend / good life that then sit in my comments box like a large, colourful, totally unwanted christmas present.
- persistent and attempting-to-be-flattering requests to be added as a friend from desperate Ghanaian men.
- the crappy ready-to-use background templates that never display properly
- all the twenty-somethings who call each other dude and themselves jonathan's girlfriend / zelda the gothic / hotchick69
- the creepily high number of people called rebecca, becks, bex, becky, becki ...
- endless invites to be friends with yet another crappy band
- it crashes my mac!
i'm checking out facebook. today. -
here's some on-the-ground info about ASBOs - this century, i worked with teenagers who lived in south central london for several years. all of them had serious drug problems. all of them had an ongoing relationship with the police, and more than half of them had an ASBO or three. the universal attitude to ASBOs is that they are a total joke. i worked with one family where the grandmother, the mother and the teenaged daughter all had ASBOs. they boasted about them!
let's not have ASBOs here. please.
