You thought I was not serious?
I’m dead serious. The only way to effect change is through sacrifice (changing your habits) and protest (telling people what you think, publicly).
Plenty of other stuff out on the Hypnotoad. Just look-

All of them far more worth your eyeballs than NBC and it’s horrible coverage.
This isn’t even political, except for the lesson in activism.
Am I serious?
Dead serious.

Oh Rose, have something to eat.
Two hundred thousand years in the future he’s dying, and there’s nothing I can do.
Well, like you said, two hundred thousand years, it’s way off!
But it’s not! It’s now. That fight is happening right now! And he’s fighting for us, for the whole planet, and I’m just sitting here eating chips!
Listen to me! God knows I have hated that man, but right now I love him, and do you know why? Cause he did the right thing, he sent you back to me!
But what do I do every day, Mum? What do I do? Get up, catch the bus, go to work, come back home, eat chips and go to bed, is that it?!
It’s what the rest of us do.
But I can’t!
Why, cause you’re better than us??
NO, I didn’t mean that! I just… But it was. It was a better life!
And I don’t mean all the travelling, and seeing aliens and spaceships and things, that don’t matter.
The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know, he showed you too!
That you don’t just give up! You don’t just let things happen!
You make a stand, you say no, you have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away.
I want to make it very clear that you can use this thread to talk about the Olympics all you like.
I will be watching something else.
And you’re perfectly free to post your own essay, I might even promote it.
But to those who say that it doesn’t matter, that now that NBC has its advertisers ratings mean nothing, you couldn’t be more wrong. They have guaranteed those advertisers a certain number of eyeballs and if NBC doesn’t make their numbers they have to give their sponsors free advertising until they do.
You have power. You just have to have the willpower to use it.

Don’t hate me because I have principles.
Hate me because I’m beautiful.
So beat me, I watched the replay of the Men’s Short program. It was certainly more energetic than the Pairs competition which I found uninspiring and dull but, jeez guys, with all the black ans sparkles?
I wasn’t the only one with that reaction
Men figure skaters bedazzle the world!
Yup, Men in black sparkling tights with bad hair and tassels looking intimidating on and off the ice. LMAO
succumbing to the Men’s Shorts and Weir, I’m watching Rachael, and KO followed by my latest guilty pleasure on HBO, Big Love. I find it scarier then True Blood as hard core polygamist Mormon fundies are really creepy. Harry Dean Stanton as a vicious ‘profit’ is way more frightening then handsome vampires. The hairdos of the compound women are better then fake incisors. I know I should be PC and hate on Weir but I somehow like him, the bad boy and flamboyant sissy, combo get me every time. His moves are so stylin yet his skating is graceful and classical.
