Short Cuts.
i think that stereotypes are the best thing ever. i mean, granted, i am not gonna judge everyone based off of them. but these lil cross-sections can give you a pretty good idea of the best/worst in a race. especially when you don't have the time (or care about) getting to know the WHOLE race/gender/sexuality. love it love it.
i especially love the creativity in this here pic. laughed.out.loud.
somebody made this bit of art from a captcha. genius.

Safety First!
this can serve two purposes:
1. safety.
2. unmistakable old school GPS. Pimp: "where my ho at?!" why there she is in that bright ass yellow vest. you need look no further.
Prostitutes working on the street outside a town northern Spain have been ordered to wear reflective vests to make them visible to passing traffic and reduce the risk of accidents. The prostitutes are in breach of 2004 law which states pedestrians on major highways and hard shoulders must wear the high visibility garments. or pay fines of 40 euros (36) under road traffic laws.

LIFE ALTERING TOILET PAPER

what are we gonna do farts & crafts with now....?!?!?!?!?!?
By Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY
The toilet paper roll is about to undergo its biggest change in 100 years: going tubeless.
On Monday, Kimberly-Clark, one of the world's biggest makers of household paper products, will begin testing Scott Naturals Tube-Free toilet paper at Walmart and Sam's Club stores throughout the Northeast. If sales take off, it may introduce the line nationally and globally — and even consider adapting the technology into its paper towel brands.
No, the holes in the rolls aren't perfectly round. But they do fit over TP spindles and come with this promise: Even the last piece of toilet paper will be usable — without glue stuck on it.
Suddenly, there's news in the $9 billion — but stagnant — toilet paper market. More important, it's got a "green" halo.
The 17 billion toilet paper tubes produced annually in the USA account for 160 million pounds of trash, according to Kimberly-Clark estimates, and could stretch more than a million miles placed end-to-end. That's from here to the moon and back — twice. Most consumers toss, rather than recycle, used tubes, says Doug Daniels, brand manager at Kimberly-Clark. "We found a way to bring innovation to a category as mature as bath tissue," he says.
He won't disclose the tubeless technology used but says it's a special winding process. A similar process is used on tissue the company sells to businesses but not to consumers.
Behind the marketing push is a growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.
One environmentalist applauds the move. "It's a positive example of how companies are seeking creative ways to reduce environmental impact," says Darby Hoover of the Natural Resources Defense Council. But more relevant than nixing the tubes would be more recycled content in its paper, Hoover says. While Scott Naturals normally has 40% recycled content, this test product does not — but future versions will, Daniels says.
Hoover says she hopes other toilet tissue makers follow Kimberly-Clark's lead. How soon that may happen is unclear. Procter & Gamble, maker of top-seller Charmin, declined to comment.

Classics.
Yes, Nike recently filed a patent application for self-lacing shoes like those worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II. But you can own an actual pair that Michael J. Fox sported in the movie. Memorabilia dealer Profiles In History is auctioning off a pair of the Nike "Mag" self-lacing shoes from the film. Estimated value is $12,000 - $15,000. (For that price, they should throw in a hoverboard!) Also up for bid, Marty's "resizing" jacket worn in the film: est value of $25,000 - $50,000. Out of your price range? How about Biff's "Oh LàLà" magazine, custom printed for the movie? $1,000-$2,000.

Awe, Isn't That Precious.
pretty girls. i am sure they all look awful with the horrific way that high schoolers apply make-up anyhow. they should STAY plain-faced if you ask me...
A beauty revolution is currently underway at a high school in Texas. At Colleyville Heritage High School, a group of teenage girls have formed a club called Redefining Beautiful, where 180 girls fight back against unreasonable standards of beauty by going make-up free on Tuesdays.
Reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "We're not against wearing makeup," said Nina, 16, a junior. Members of the club include classroom leaders, athletes, and quieter types. "We're really against girls feeling like it's a shell to hide in."
Recently, inspired by Rabbit Write's no make-up week, Siobhan and Alexandra sponsored a no make-up challenge of their own. Check out the results for yourself.
Would you have dared to go bare-faced in high school? Would—or do—you now?

My Princess Boy!!! (tears....)
***get kleenex***
such an amazing story of acceptance and unconditional love. all parents need to watch this video and strive to be the best examples of loving human beings. i can't stop smiling as i listen to this vid and see these images.
i love love.
Five-year-old Dyson Kilodavis is a little boy who loves sparkly things: princess gowns, hot pink socks, glittery jewelry. Deal with it.
Richard Metzger over at Dangerous Minds points to a lovely children's book by Dyson's mom, titled My Princess Boy, and shares a surprisingly non-exploitative television interview with the boy's mom, dad, and older brother.
Richard says:
Meet the most awesome family in America
(Dangerous Minds, thanks Tara McGinley) Amazon Link for the book.

You have to watch the video. Have some kleenex handy. I sure cried. It's right here: My Princess Boy:This child, I think it's clear, is going to be who and what he'll be. But unlike many kids like him, he's not going to grow up thinking there is anything wrong with who he is. This kid is FABULOUS and nothing less! With all of the gay bullying, suicides and the general anti-gay bigotry going on in right-wing circles, Cheryl, Dean and their older song Dkobe, deserve admiration and gratitude from the rest of us, for being such an amazing, wise examples for other people in their situation, with their loving parenting of their "Princess Boy."

Mo' Money.
never thought of it this way, didja??? sure didn't...
so frikkin cool.
dolla dolla bills y'all.
There’s so much we can do with money: spend it, save it, invest it, give it to those in need. Then again, some people go beyond the obvious. They turn their bills money into money origami, grafitti or other “art” pieces.
Others are even more creative: they pose with money to create images that are only half human. The results are fascinating and quite entertaining. Who said that money topics have to be boring?
