pearwaldorfI love Ann Romano. She rocks so much. From this week's One Day at a Time:
After noticing that many of the buzzing toys were being purchased by teenage girls, the British comic who calls himself "The Serial Caller" rang up the Mattel customer service division to "complain." "I got a daughter, she's 16," the prankster lied to the Mattel rep. "I come home the other day, I find her in bed with the Harry Potter broomstick between her legs!" When the flustered customer rep said that the Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 broomstick was intended for younger children, the caller yelled, "That's even SICKER! I don't think that that's what J.K. Rowling had in mind." Caught in a web of irrefutable logic, the mentally disemboweled rep admitted, "You're right." Needless to say, this is infuriating news. Especially in light of the fact that the Nimbus 2000 broomstick costs $19.99, and you can buy a Lisa Frank-style tiger-striped vibrator for beginners at Good Vibrations for only $18!
Thus lending credence to my wish that yes, we should indeed buy up Hello Kitty vibrators for our budding pubescent girlies and teach them the joys of self-love. ^.^
And y'all should read the excerpt from Dan Savage's new book, Skipping Towards Gomorrah. It's really good.
