Things you're really, really NOT into. (not music)

People that don't immediately get going at a turn light so you end up getting stuck. 
Also people who can't use a cell phone and drive properly at the same time.  Generally when you see someone driving badly, they will be on a cell phone when you get a good look at them.  Either that or they are really old.

Do parents strap them to chairs and make them watch it? Aren't parents responsible somewhat?

This + corruption.

The V-strings feel like you're wearing nothing at all. I love them.

Parents are very much responsible, but I will never believe they're the only ones responsible, as the FDA and advertising giants have promoted. And it is very hard for parents to shield their kids from negative influences like that. They would not be able to take them down most aisles of the store and they would have to drag them out of the room every time the commercials play for a TV show of their. Unless they're not allowed to watch TV. Good for them, I say, but that's hardly an option nowadays with both parents having to work a lot of the time. They can't control everything their kids are exposed to, so how unreasonable is it to demand some sort of responsibility from corporations in controlling advertising that will likely reach people unable to think critically about it. Especially when it is designed to take advantage of it. And even more still when you consider the drastically rising rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes in children. Even if you say that the purchasing power is in the parent's hands, the reality of the world is that many of them are too tired or ignorant to care. Which is the easiest way to tackle the problem: revamp our workforce and somehow make parents have more time to actively monitor their kids and also become more educated about nutrition and advertising toward children, or require stricter regulations for products aimed at children?

It is seriously hard for me to believe you don't think that is a negative thing.

Even still, you're kind of paying a lot for a piece of fabric you just want to throw aside, anyway.

There's positives and negatives.

There are no girls on the internet, silly.

• Antimacassars - if you don't know what they are, you're lucky.
