Very interesting! I love myth-busting articles. Regarding the Pear of Anguish, I have to disagree with the author on one point: I think the actual use (in the mouth, to break the jaw) actually sounds far worse than the fictional use in the nether regions.
Seems like the lesson here isn't "don't do drugs or drink" or even "don't do drugs or drink before driving", but simply "wear your seatbelt". What happened to him could have happened to a sober driver, too. I was involved in a head-on collision once. It didn't matter that I was completely sober. What saved me was my seatbelt and airbag.
Ah, yes, that's clearly Jonah being swallowed by a whale. Also, I have this piece of burnt toast with a picture of the Virgin Mary burnt into it, and a water stain on my ceiling that is obviously the face of Jesus.
Surferdude, you're missing the point entirely. Nobody is claiming that Levi's is obligated to make plus-sized jeans. The point is that it's ridiculous to say "Hotness comes in ALL sizes" and then illustrate with pictures of women in three sizes: skinny, skinny with a waist, and skinny with a narrow waist, as if those represent the entire range of what can be considered "hot".
Illustrates the double standard our society holds about prostitution (the oldest career in the world): we put women in jail for being prostitutes, but give other women awards for pretending to be prostitutes. It's the whole Madonna/Whore thing: "We want you to ACT like a slut, but not actually BE one."
