:
"Udderly" awful McDonald's print ad
from Finland. Certainly doesn't make me want to rush out and get a milkshake.
Picture this:
What they did for
contraception
in the olden days...
Fashion victim:
Who is going to buy, let alone wear
this t-shirt
? Seriously.
TV:
Australian Masterchef
judge Matt Moran
goes off at one of the crew
on set... (warning NSFW language)...He got a point don't you think?.
Celebrity:
Justin Bieber now has a perfume. He's nuzzling necks and being God-like, floating through the clouds
in this ad
. Bring on the parodies.
For the kids:
Each week I collect links I'd like to share with my eight-year-old. Here are my picks this week
1) Do you remember the Disney animation
The Little House
? The story of a house that was once alone on a hill but is eventually crowded out by other buildings. The author claimed it wasn't a comment on urban sprawl, just showing the passing of time for children, but I think there was an adult theme in there for sure.
2) Here's a must-see animation from French TV, explaining beautifully why the
Panda looks so sad
!
3) We actually tried the
Biscuit Face Race
. It was great fun with crumbs everywhere, try videoing and watching it back.
Nostalgic kids TV:
Martin Henderson in his screen debut in the late 80s kids TV series
Strangers
and W Three, the kids quiz show hosted by current Speaker of the House Lockwood Smith.
These three likely lads compete to win a colour telly!
Controversy:
Breast feeding is always in the headlines; usually when some strumpet has been flashing her bosoms around the local café while feeding her baby. Those that forget we are mammals and complain about it will no doubt have something to say about the new doll that lets kids pretend they are breastfeeding.
The Breast Milk Baby
comes with a halter top that activates a suckling response from the doll when placed in contact with the chest area. (Watch the ad at the bottom of the link). Critics say the doll sexualises young girls or may encourage early pregnancy, but more sensible people would see it for what it is - a child roleplaying her mother. Right? What do you think?
