Rant du Jour

I remember when dolls were just dolls. Now of course, they're silent puppets for some leftist agenda that makes girls consider abortions and questioning authority and thinking for themselves. How dare they! No longer are they lifeless plastic heads and cloth bodies dressed in gingham and chintz! They're now trying to weasel their liberalism into our lives through subtle corporate philanthropy! Helping girls? How insane! Run for The Handmaid's Tale hills, ladies! And thank Jebus for Pastor Frank! He saved us from this Mattel mind-fuck! All hail Pastor Frank!

Caution. Geniuses at Work.

Uh...what the hell? Dolls are just dolls. And these dolls actually do something good by teaching kids about history and other cultures and aren't coveted because they represent some impossible physical standard. To take something so innocent as a freakin' doll fashion show and turn it into some sort of right-wing crisis just reminds me that humans are freaked-out assholes who deserve the volumes of crap the world throws at us because we weak minded, selfish, and actually deserve it.

And that, sugarcheeks, is my rant du jour.
