I would agree that they were cliches. I just didn't find them offensive.

I don't know, there was just something about images of racial violence (I presume from the 60s) and such juxtaposed with writhing strippers cropped headless that pinged me personally. It's pretty effective in establishing an atmosphere for the show, I'll say that.

But hey! I'm all about the Friday Night Lights. Most accurate portrayal of small town Southern life on tv EVER, even if I don't usually include Texas in my definition of the South. Speaking of, dammit, Coach and Tami and Tyra and Saracen cannot get back on my tv soon enough.

"That's what she said" jokes are HUGE at my school. 8th grade boys don't always know when to use that joke and when not to. Sometimes, I have to force myself not to laugh and other times, I just give the Stern Look and say, "Inappropriate."

I am doing this: [link] with one of the closets in my new bedroom.

"If you didn't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't have had sex."

This law goes way farther than that. I very intentionally had sex with my lawfully wedded husband with the explicit goal of getting pregnant AND IT WORKED. And this law would put me in jail.*

(*That is, if I hadn't been left to bleed out in the delivery room as God intended. I don't know how common it is to have a doctor who performs emergency third-trimester D&Es five minutes away in this country, but I'm guessing not very.)

IO9 says it's because of morality. I think they're full of crap. Thinly veiled sex and power metaphor.

Do chicks dig vampires more than dudes do?

It's the ultimate bad boy fantasy, Daisy. So bad he's dead. And a blood-sucker. And yet he loves you so much he wants to make you his eternal bride.

Or something.

Makes sense, ita.

I don't know that they do, but this is because no one felt qualified to write about Twilight: New Moon when it releases, next week, I think.
