Ted's Comments

When I saw this one on the news, they said the people were whale-watching, not just minding their own business when whales came along out of the blue.

Apparently they were deliberately close to the whales, just a ltitle closer than they thought, maybe. Funny how Ms Roettger has her copyright on the video. Finally famous!

So a cleaner works in an art museum. Supposedly they wouldn't actually clean works of art, even the crappy-looking ones. You don't see cleaners going around the museum vacuuming the paintings. So what would prompt this cleaner to do anything more than dust any piece of sculpture, let alone change the entire surface of any piece, without even asking anyone first?

I call shenanigans. Museum's trying to garner a little publicity, maybe collect on some insurance money because they spent a ton of money on something that's very similar to what's sitting in my back yard right now.

Really, Alex? You deleted my comment and left Eric's? I just said it was nothing new, and I said not to have your volume up too loud. I've just seen this done better. The illusion of it not being a slinky is ruined, maybe by the camera angle itself and not the performance. I think that's pretty constructive.

Torben, if you read my comment carefully, you might understand it better. You essentially agree with my point, though. The sexualization of breast cancer is always amazing, considering it's a disease. Would we sexualize those other diseases? Of course not. So, why do we sexualize this one?

Breast cancer is a "sexy" cause, in more senses than the obvious one. It's fashionable to promote breast cancer awareness, but for all the money thrown at different people selling you pink, sexy stuff, how much goes to actually work against breast cancer? WHo knows?

It's feel-good rather than practical or effective. And there are whole industries of breast cancer pink merchandise.
