So we have two possible explanations:

1. A party girl who isn't shown to be particularly intelligent ends up OD'ing on the drugs she was forced to mule. She slips into an elaborate fantasy about having superpowers as a coping mechanism and makes up some bullshit "10% of your brain" as aher uneducated way of rationalising it

OR....

2. Meth gives you superpowers (kinda want that on a tshirt now )

And you think 2 is less ridiculous?!

I'm not really serious though. The "it was all a dream" thing was a hack cliche before most of us were 10, so yeah, it's a shitty cop out.

That said, I fully expect to enjoy this movie as a fun popcorn flick. The 5th element had a ridiculous premise too (an evil rock must be stopped by love!) but that still turned out awesome. I don't think this will be that good, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

What?!? I was so freaked out by the one my older cousin "keep locked in his closet", that my 3-year old self became instantly un-diaper trained at the mere threat of his "escape".

But to me now, that thing looks so silly that the tea party girl kissing it is just too fitting. Curses!

That's probably because you don't hang around with Paris Hilton-type of party girls. Where have you been all these years? You don't remember the days when media started calling Madonna an ideal feminist, and that somehow got her kissing on stage with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera?? And the day after when people called it 'disgusting', other people defended the action by calling it a 'feminine expression'???

I've had the mortal displeasure of hanging around with a lot of brain-dead college girls, thanks to my party loving roomates. And these girls actually quoted Beyonce (the singer) to prove feminism to me. The whole argument started when they started driveling about what they learned in feminist class that afternoon and how they were 'oppressed' by the men all these years, and how it prevented the female gender to truly 'express' themselves.

The recent rise of 'expressive feminism' clearly had a huge impact on pop culture, and definitely are related to one another. The corporate world merely followed the trends, and all they did was identifying the market and going with the flow. In media, it is used as an excuse to further exploit the already lucrative idea of 'sex sells'. And as individuals, we are no longer allowed to tell them not to do it, because if you did, you'd be 'oppressing' women. And they've been selling sex for quite awhile, but the difference is that this time they've got the philosophic community on their side, so now you've got to argue against feminism when you're trying to limit them.

The MTV and the gangs did capitalize on this and thrived and using it as an excuse to start going with raunchier, naughtier shows without getting backlashed for being immoral. But the point is that the feminist idea was already there to embrace these things. And it was just a matter of time before major celebrities in popular culture started marketing themselves as 'newage feminists' and embraced this idea of woman 'expressing' herself with open arms, by justifying themselves from selling sex appeal, and just ran with it through mountains and oceans.

I mean, today's line of pop artists such as 'the pussy cat dolls' make the old 'spice girls' look like a bunch of Mormons in Halloween costumes. And I would've thought I would at least be 40 when I started talking about the big 'morality' subject and 'young people going too far'. But the transformation of attitude in popular opinion has been so rapid that even a person in their mid 20s like me are starting to fear if we really ARE that decadent.

So tell me, how are they not related?

p.s I'd like to see some female sifters' comments here to see what they have to say about the subject.

Oh, I am totally in agreement with your assessment of both fashion and cows... who knew they would be so inextricably linked?

Fashion, and general media programming in general are having a vast effect on the minds of women, of all ages these days... its sad, but we live in a society where useless, drug-binging, party girls like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are perpetually thrust into our faces via tv and magazines. Thus, they become role models and impress all sort of ridiculous standards on young girls... and older girls and women. Suddenly its considered 'okay' in the mainstream media to be a total slut, which is the wrong message girls need to be hearing... I think the episode of South Park that featured Paris Hilton was pretty dead on in regards to this problem... so dead on, I sifted this just for y'all reading this thread... Stupid Spoiled Whore - VIDEO PLAYSET!

Now, getting back to cows not named Paris... you're right, the hormones we have been injecting into our cattle have not only been partially responsible for girl's maturing at younger and younger ages (didn't seem to work on me though... hmmm...), but there are also a whole host of other sources of estrogens and progesterones that we come in contact with on a daily basis. Many plastics that are used to package and store our food begin to break down after a while and leech all kinds of things into our dinners... including hormones... so, in the end, its our own fault and science... DAMN YOU SCIENCE!! No, just kidding, but yeah, it's no wonder girls are menstruating at 11 and people are growing bigger and wider every year it seems.

I guess the playboy party girl was the reason it was pulled.
