A little fact:

United States is one of the two countries in the world that allows pharmaceutical companies to advertise their products.

That is one of the many crazy facts about the drug industry exposed in Liz Canner’s documentary film, Orgasm Inc.

Commercialized Sex Segregation

I run into this book at the children’s section of a bookstore. Ponder on these few questions:

  • Or do the publisher think that its only a “kid thing” and they’ll forget about it once they get older?

Games for Girls?

I came across this website (www.girlgames.com) and found it to be absolutely pathetic – right enough word? I only have one question for the creators and its visitors: Is it really what girls/women need to play, find entertaining or spend their time on?

Chew on that, but also look at the statistics of its visitors:

Based on internet averages, girlgames.com is visited more frequently by females who are in the age range 35-44, have children, have no college education and browse this site from home. (source)

 

Still from one of their 'popular' games

Life Instructions

1) Have fun, perhaps be productive while doing it.

2) Do not hurt people, but go a step further and make them happy.

3) Do not accept defeat, rather learn from it and try again.

4) Strive to be happy, and that means finding the source of “true happiness.”

5) Analyze what you just read.
