I've yet to hear a Lady Gaga song, but I've seen her in all of her various Muppet Show costume finery. Interesting, no?

I heard several parodies before I ever heard her sing one of her songs. I still don't think I've heard her sing an entire song of hers. I have zero interest.

If she made the kind of music she made as Stephanie Germanotta, I'd buy her albums in a heartbeat. If she makes what she is making, she'll become a star but I would not listen to her music.
- Parth Awasthi
I'm going make a bold prediction... now that she's getting her name out there with outrageous costumes and performances, she'll soon (within a year or two, anyway) come out with a "serious, artistic album" that showcases her underlying talent, without (much of) the showbiz glam stuff. I didn't care for Cristina Aguilera until she released her bluesy album and demonstrated what a awesome singing voice she really has. (Of course, now when she sees this she'll change her plan out of spite. ;oP)

The problem is that many credible (i.e. "hard") news outlets have barely any staffing on weekends any more. A few of the pseudo-paparazzi news outlets have "stringers," or freelancers, stake out the L.A.-area hospitals on weekends for celeb appearances. I'll be surprised if any newspapers have this until tomorrow. Lord knows the LATimes won't.

I agree Row, but CNN is ahead of them, and they would bang this story like a gong if they could back it up. In fact, they have a huge building on Sunset - they could have someone at the hospital in minutes for a confirmation.

You thought I was annoyed when I posted all the pink MiniBlocs and Tinkertoys crap, this had me fuming. A fucking pink 8 ball? SERIOUSLY? This stupid marketing to girls has got to stop. I managed to play Yahtzee just fine without a furry pink cup and dice with friggin' butterflies and flowers.

I don't mind the pink telescope in particular.

- joey
What's wrong with a science set that makes lip gloss? It's still chemistry, and not all chemists have to be pharmaceutical researchers. If it gets a young girl interested in science, let it be pink. Maybe then if it is pink, she won't have to worry about her peers thinking she's a nerd or somehow less-than-feminine for liking things that aren't traditionally thought of as feminine pursuits.
- cecily
The pinkification I still find dangerous - again this idea that to be "ok" a girl has to fit such a narrow narrow narrow range, this conformism you pick up, this required constant worry about fitting in and what others might think... I think it is conditioning. On the other hand the trivialisation of "girly" interests is also negative, the idea that if you make red ink or light acid...
more...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I'm raising my kid not to be worried about what others think of her. I don't care what the chemistry set makes, it's that it's pink. She can make lip glass with a standard chemistry set. I don't see how making things pink make it okay for a girl to pursue certain interests. I had most of these toys as a child in normal primary colors. Besides extracting more money from parents (because yes, these do costs more than the "regular" ones) what purpose does the pink serve besides to trivialize?
- Admiral Anika
And Ilia has pink stuff. I don't like it, but she does. <--That has nothing to do with pink being "girly" I just think the color is pukey. But I don't go out of my way to buy her pink stuff (Sanrio stuff, excepted) and depending on the item, I'll let it slide. But this stuff? HELL NO.
- Admiral Anika
Pink doesn't trivialize. Pink is a colour. We put our own meaning on it. EDIT: And while I'm not a parent, I was a little girl/teenage girl once, and I know that sometimes the opinions of our peers counts more than the opinions of our parents. If that weren't the case, I never would've ridden my bike in the street, rollerskated down the huge hill at my elementary school, or as I got...
more...
- cecily
Joelle, that's how I feel about it...that there are implications on both sides for conditioning and of trivialization of traditionally 'feminine' interests. It's tough, because both of them are things that I want to avoid.
- joey
Okay, maybe the color itself doesn't trivialize, but the flowers and butterflies on the Yahtzee game, the fact that the telescope is less powerful, but costs more, the microscope that that doesn't come with blood or bug slides...I have a pretty smart, girly girl who is interested in science as it is.
- Admiral Anika
And FWIW, I hated pink as a little girl, unless it was pale pink ribbons on the ends of my pigtails. :)
- cecily
Anika, if the telescope is less powerful and that the microscope is less complete, etc. then that is a totally different issue to me. THAT is trivializing. Like, 'oh here, have your play toy while the boys have their real one.'
- joey
What Joey said. It isn't about the colour necessarily, it's about that they're limiting the features because they're targeting girls.
- cecily
And Cecily, I was raised (as just about everyone in our family) that what others think of your (honest) pursuits, the clothes you wear and all that is frivolous as long as you do what makes you happy and enjoy your pursuits. I'm teaching her the same thing. I've never been a herd-follower. If anyone had an issue with it when I was little, I never heard it. I got mocked for clothes I wore, but then in a year everyone else was wearing it too. Still, never cared because I thought I looked good. =)
- Admiral Anika
Here's the boys version of the telescope. They look similarly featured: http://www.toysrus.com/product...
- cecily
I think it's less about being part of the 'herd', than it is part of a child's process of individuating from their parents and making their own choices, even if those choices are informed by their friends. There are different spheres of influence, and they all contribute to a child's development.
- cecily
I think so long as you don't make it not okay for Ilia to like pink your efforts, Anika, are commendable. She (and any other little girl) should never feel they can ONLY use some colours/toys/items just as they shouldn't feel they can NEVER use some colours/toys/items. As far as children following their parents example or their peers...it really depends on the child and on the home life. I never cared what other kids my age thought of me, in fact I generally thought they were immature little drones.
- Soup
By the way Anika, how old is Ilia? I think she might be quite small yet, yes? I ask because I have a book series I think you'd both enjoy but it's a chapter book series for young adults (late elementary-middle school depending on the kid)
- Soup
She's 6.5 right now. She's been getting read chapter books for the past 3 years. It's only recently that I started reading her fiction for her age group.

- April Russo (app103)
April, I agree with much of that, but by saying that only the 'blue' one is the 'legitimate' one, we're already making it just as bad for boys and cramming each gender in their respective box. Why is blue or black or whatever real and 'regular' (the standard of normalcy) and pink fake and inferior? I just think the issues go deeper than the color. Who decides what is 'overly' feminine...

The Canadian Press: Homophobic remarks slam gay MP's Christmas card - http://www.google.com/hostedn...

"It has all the hallmarks of a politician's glossy Christmas card. Pastoral setting? Check. Doe-eyed golden retriever? Check. Handsome couple dressed in smart casual? Check. Same-sex couple? That was too much for "a handful of bigots" who objected to Scott Brison's holiday greeting card depicting him and spouse Maxime St. Pierre, according to the Nova Scotia Liberal MP. "The overwhelming response has been very positive," Brison said from Windsor, N.S. "There's always a very, very tiny minority of bigots. It's their problem, it's not my problem." At least one news website had to shut down its comments section running under a story about the card. The Globe and Mail web editor said the section was shut down because of "hateful and homophobic remarks." Brison is one of the few openly gay members of Parliament. He married his partner in 2007, two years after same-sex marriage became legal in Canada. He easily won re-election last year. The card features the two men standing in a field...

It think part of the reason why the 3D was so good was because it wasn't so painstakingly pointed out as "LOOK THIS PART IS IN 3D!!!!". It just was... it was support instead of the focus.

I think it was worth the experience in 3D but I love the fact that the 3D just enhanced and wasn't a big gag-line in the whole thing like most 3D movies I've seen before this one.

Interesting topic. Melanie, can you explain your last sentence? I think I'm missing something. "We have been asked to endure it even to our death if necessary." Also, science is not meant to advocate or claim ethics or morality. Science is a tool we use to understand ourselves and the world. We use science to understand facts which we apply our own morals and values to. Science might say that fish contain mercury, and religion might say not to eat fish. The point of each is different.
- Heather
Science can be employed to help us understand something about the biological underpinnings of human primate morality and ethics. It can also help us understand how ethical mores change over time via cultural (memetic) evolution.
- Christopher A Carr
Even in that case, science can only tell us how things are, and how things came to be. It may even predict what will be. It still doesn't tell us anything about how things should be.

- Christopher A Carr
I don't think secular society is devoid of morality and ethics. While, yeah, you can optimize happiness and fairness by acting on data from the study of neuropsychiatry, I have a hard time seeing how the actual optimization would be considered science. Sure, you can have ethics and morality based on scientific principles, but is the ethics and morality actually science? Maybe I'm just arguing definitions, though.
- Victor Ganata
"I have a hard time seeing how the actual optimization would be considered science." <-- Perhaps "engineering" is a more apt description.
- Christopher A Carr
Victor, science doesn't tell us any type of "should" on purpose. That's a value judgment, which inherently varies between people. I don't think there is any system that can cleanly, effectively, and across the board tell us "should" and "shouldn't". Optimization is impossible because of the differences in people's opinions. Even people who use the same set of influences, like religion, can come to different conclusions about what is morally right or wrong.

- Akiva Moskovitz
m9m, the addition of the lawnchair is a stroke of pure genius on Branagh's part. That whole scene is just about as perfectly executed as you could want. 'And as you all know, he has a contemptible spirit!' 'AWWWWW.' [nervous pause followed by Benedick faking bird calls]
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, Beatrice is one of my favorite Shakespearean heroines. She is the most fully developed of his female characters. Her lines are incredible as when she wisely tells the Prince that He is "too good for her to wear everyday" And her scenes with Benedick, especially when she reveals that a woman, too, can feel as deeply as a man about honor are genius!
- Melanie Reed
Yeah. Thompson owns the role as if she were born to play it. After Hero is shamed by Claudio at the wedding, Beatrice is just amazing. 'Oh G-d, were I a man I would eat his heart in the marketplace!' All of the frustrations of repressed women bound up perfectly in one statement.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Yes!!!!!!!!!
- Melanie Reed
But I must say that my favorite of all lines is when Benedick tells her: "Serve God, love me, and mend." perfect cadence and thought.
- Melanie Reed
Ah, my favorite line in the movie (and my second favorite Shakespearean line) is when Claudio says, 'Friendship is constant in all other things save the office and affairs of love.' (My favorite is from Richard III: 'Should I be tempted by the devil?' 'Aye, if the devil tempts thee to do good.')
- Akiva Moskovitz
What I love most about that scene is that her honest passion does exactly what it is meant to do: spur Benedick (it is no coincidence that there names are similar) to see himself inside her and to act on her behalf allowing her to remain in the role of a woman now safe and allowed to trust. And he becomes more himself and more a man because of her.
- Melanie Reed
'...to see himself inside her...' [coy tittering follows] Seriously, though, it is that scene that not only connects Benedick and Beatrice as a couple (even though they haven't yet finalized it for themselves yet) but it also brings to bear the frustration of women (as I pointed out above) and the willingness of men to weakly betray their friendships to win the approval of a woman with...

Akiva, I think that is one way of reading it, though perhaps a heavily sexualized modern day interpretation. I am always careful to go back to earlier critics to check myself to see if my time betrays me on this. So here is a Shakespeare critic, Gareth Lloyd Evans from his book "The Upstart Crow" (love the title) (1982): "Here the true spirit of Beatrice is revealed - a woman of great...

- Melanie Reed
In other words, Benedick's heart is in the right place but what he's willing to sacrifice to win Beatrice's respect (and thus her heart) is what I find questionable. Ultimately, though, as you point out, it is what he is willing to do that makes him into what he becomes.
