apple_pathways: Whatever floats your boat! (Amy "Oh Dear!")
I need to just back away from the internets tonight. Everywhere I turn, someone is Wrong and Needs to Be Told.

For one thing, I need to stay away from anon memes. It's all fun and games when it's LOLcats and "Which Doctor would you shag?", but then someone has to go and say Amy Pond has poor characterization. I mean...what? Of all the criticisms I've heard of Series 5 in general and Amy in particular, poor characterization? What? What? You keep using that word: I do not think it means what you think it means.

Also: people are allowed to enjoy whatever television programs they want, right?

*sigh* I have started, and then (wisely) backed away from so many replies tonight...

New friend [livejournal.com profile] infinitejoys alerted her flist to this sterling example of social commentary: Boycott American Women.

It is hilariously ignorant. It only starts to get creepy when he starts advocating dating/marrying "foreign" women; particulary those of Asian or Russian origins, like the sort one might find through a "marriage service". What is it he likes about them? Could it be their lack of English skills, economic disadvantage, and dependence on him for legal immigration status? Of course not! They're more "down-to-earth" and "appreciative". (I'd love to hear from any "foreign" women who have ideas about whether or not they fit his definition of "marriage material"!)

The best part is, amidst all the vitriolic scree, he has this to say about himself: "I'm single, desirable, and looking out of the country now." Look out, ladies of the world: he won't remain single for long!

[livejournal.com profile] infinitejoys also linked me to this post on Nice Guys. I was thrilled to discover there are other women out there who make the distinction between nice guys and Nice Guys!

What's the difference? )

I might have more to say about this, but I gotta run off to work.
