Quickies: Crocoduck, Emma Watson, and breast pumps
- Kirk Cameron’s crocoduck comes back to bite him in the ass – “Science has bestowed upon us the real-life equivalent of a crocoduck—a magnificent specimen that illustrates how evolution actually works. The real creature was a 50-foot dinosaur called Spinosaurus. From Criticaldragon1177.
- Emma Watson’s speech to the UN on gender equality – Watch this before moving on to the next link, for extra outrage.From Mrmisconception.
- 4chan responds to Emma Watson’s powerful UN speech by threatening to release her nude photos – “When the Internet responds to a woman’s declaration of feminism by threatening to commit a crime against her — to violate and victimize her — it only strengthens the message she’s sending.”
- Winning ideas in contest on “How to make the breast pump not suck” – “Anyone who’s ever had a close encounter with a breast pump knows that it sucks in multiple ways: It sucks out breast milk, and it sucks because it makes mothers feel like milk cows at the mercy of a loud, dumb, unwieldy, uncomfortable machine.”
Emma Watson’s speech was excellent. I’m in a good mood, so I think I’ll skip the next link thanks….
Emma Watson has a quiet grace and dignity that reminds me of Princess Diana, I just want to hug her.
And I think 4chan may be trying a new tactic here. Prove that there isn’t a misogyny problem buy doing one of the most misogynist things you can muster. But here’s the problem guys, there is no such thing as an irony vortex that will come and suck all that hatred into oblivion no matter how hard you try. Two points for creative levels of not getting it though.
It’s particularly bad because really, “I took some nude photos” isn’t some big scandal anymore. At least I don’t think negatively of nude photos. I mean, I’ve been naked before. Not necessarily in front of a camera, but I have been naked. And Emma Watson is an actress and therefore familiar with the ‘nudity question’. (The answer, of course, is whatever you’re comfortable with.)
Ms. Watson’s UN speech on feminism rocked! Also, maybe it’ll keep Rich. Dawkins from trying to swap his current actress/wife for her; win-win!
Too bad you couldn’t have photoshopped that drawing of Spinosaurus to include a photograph of Kirk Cameron screaming in terror, because that would be hilarious!
