George Takei responds to fans of traditional marriage.

motherfucking george takei

George Takei is pretty much the sassiest human on the planet.

Takei might just be the King of the internet… or Queen? He’s both. He’s that great!

Wore a hundred baby rabbits last friday :P
my bebe jacket and a skirt in a blizzard… ‘cause im nuts.

Things that have pissed me off lately:

• PINK, ‘for girls’ Barbie Kinder Surprises

I grew up having to repeatedly ask for the ‘boy’ toy at McDonalds, returning to the counter more often than not to trade the stupid barbie they gave me despite my request for my Hot Wheels
Would YOU rather a stupid girl who doesn’t move or do anything or even has real hair or a toy car with wheels?!

• The fact that Ferrero Rocher makes Kinder Surprises and I buy those for myself every major holiday (def christmas and vday, + my bday) so I’m done buying those now.
• & then… I saw these:

England Netball’s new mascots: the Rose Buddies. Sex doll meets Bratz meets Manga (with a pinch of Frank Sidebottom) - these are the role models designed to encourage our girls and women into playing sport.

In its newsletter, England Netball explained; “the girls, Wild Rose, Petal and Necta are very modern and designed to attract the young but will hopefully appeal to the not so young as well!”

Volunteers wearing over sized costumes of the Rose Buddies are on hand for photo opportunities. There are postcards which show them wearing skimpy outfits and they also feature in the programmes, talking about their fashion choices and how they “love nothing more than to hit the court after a day of shopping, socialising and gossip”!

Since when do aspiring girl athletes sport mini skirts?

So how do we fight?
I spent the morning writing Ferrero on how disappointed I was.
I posted on the Kinder Surprise facebook page (not Kinder Canada, but the main corporate one) and have received likes
& By making sure the young girls in our lives are educated equally and raised to be above that bs
http://www.pinkstinks.org.uk/ is a good place to start, led me to http://www.amightygirl.com/ full of wonderful resources.

I extensively read through all of Ferrero Rocher’s advertising and marketing guidelines.
And while reading about the Rose Buddies i came to this:
“Our research tells us that young girls don’t identify with elite athletes. So we’ve created three stylised mascots that are relevant to the things they like. They all have their own personality – for instance, one of them likes One Direction.”

I’m sorry but are their men who love powerless women in charge of tehse research teams?
Either that or…

Hey, companies: YOU ARE DOING YOUR RESEARCH WRONG

Maybe its not that they don’t identify either, it’s that there are generations of every media outlet discouraging the identification to begin with.

What the fuck is this. I don’t play netball, but these weird doll people don’t look like someone who are prepared to play any sport. I get the UK is different than North America, but the girls I know would think this is dumb as shit.

Dude.

This explains so much.

About Walker, I mean. Duh.

Stop the world, I want to punch it in the fucking mouth. 

I think I may have vomited and shit myself at the same time.
