Feminist Moments
Eliza saw a play.  Yay Eliza.

Audrey is writing a feminist BA because she is a BAMF.

Chris read an article about “buying” sex.  He might bring it in.  That would be sweet.

Audrey informed us that you can’t buy sex the way you buy a table.

Future Meetings
will not be lead; they will be facilitated by a rotating cast of characters. Wally will be next meeting’s facilitator. Remember that this meeting is MOBILE and will take place on the bus/train. Bad-ass.

What the Fuck, pt. II

As many of us know, Britney’s new album came out in December with her single Circus…

Now her second single has come out, including a new video. The song is called “If U Seek Amy” buuuutttt if you say it real fast it says “fuck me.” clever.
anyway, the video itself is pretty standard (except that weird fucking scene where she’s surrounded by cheerleaders(?) with the TV on and there’s a random crowd of dudes watching from the hallway, and actually… the whole video’s pretty weird).
but the real reason I’m posting this is because Britney picked up a couple’a mill for having Virgin Mobile sponsor the video, which means that when you watch it on her site:

http://www.britney.com/us/videos

you have to watch a 30 second ad before you get to see the video.
and what’s Virgin mobile’s new advertising slogan? “Take Advantage of Virgin Mobile”
real cute. almost didn’t catch that.

i love everything.
