I don't know if I shared this here or not. If not, I should have. Do you think the Boston Marathon bombing victim costume was in bad taste? How about the Trayvon Martin costumes?
Believe it or not, there was one costume this year that was even in poorer taste. You have to see it believe it. And be sure to watch the video, so you can hear the costumed child's mother in her own words

Guess in NY the kid is always right. Maybe the kid's meal toy was a pirate?
I wonder, Gog, has anyone questioned whether or not it is sexist that the largest selling market of books is romances, featuring women, written by women, where the men are often nothing more than oversexed caricatures who ultimate fate is to do what ever the woman wants?

Each gender has its sexual Disneyland. While men fantasize about "pornotopia," note researchers Bruce J. Ellis and Donald Symons, where everybody's too busy having no-strings-attached sex to "talk about the relationship," women turn to romance-otopia, the multi-billion-dollar romance novel industry. Women's "commitment porn," with its formulaic happily-ever-after-gasm, "imposes a female-like sexuality on men that is...perhaps no more 'realistic' than that of pornotopia," writes psychology professor Catherine Salmon. "But no one is out there lobbying to ban romance novels because of the harm they do to women's attitudes toward men."

What happens when you let the untalented regulate art?
Yeah. That's what happens.
