Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation. It's for procreation.
Woman: But it can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.

Why Katniss Everdeen Should Not Be A Barbie Doll

peetamuhlark:
What the fuck is this, though? Like, really. Why would people do this to Katniss? I can understand some of the other merchandise. Though, I do know that the merchandise is mass produced and shit, but this is overdoing it a little bit and I know that I’m not the only one who thinks that it’s a little overdone. How can a girl who is supposed to be empowering females be...

crossovergenius asked: To the sarcastic pro-lightbulb anon: I mean I guess they can make light bulbs too but it's just kind of stupid because people very, very rarely have bare bulbs. Lamps usually have shades or some sort of glass cover. That, and they're incandescent bulbs and are bad for the environment so I mean. Who's pitching all this? Who's actually saying, "hey, that's a good...

m00ndog asked: its a gif too :D
y0u-here-t0-finish-me-0ff asked: Okay people listen up. It's called an OPINION because it's HIS view of a situation. Leave Tim alone or I'll burn a bonfire of BARBIES in the middle of your damn living room. Tim's too nice to be yelled at on a WEBSITE. You people will find the littlest things to attack people with, won't you. Damn leeches. Hello there Timothy :3 Did you SEE tommy in those JEANS?!?!?!?! oh...
Anonymous asked: oh no, what's wrong with the lightbulbs? are they offensive to all the non-hunger games lightbubls? do they stereotype lightbulbs?
crossovergenius asked: wait they're making Hunger Games lightbulbs too? Please say you're joking.
m00ndog asked: new avatar bby
denchub asked: I totally agree with you. Going to far with the merchandise is way hypocritical. The whole book critisizes the unnecessary overconsumption of the Capitol and now they are doing the same thing and using THG to promote it. I don't care if it brings cash. I mean, its overshadowing one of the many important messages of the books and I just think its disrespecting Suzanne Collins and her work.
holoways asked: Oh I haven't even seen the lightbulbs yet, but the whole movie marketing in general and such amaaaaaaaazing merchandise as a Peeta pillow, like really, I probably have a very narrow minded opinion about this but if I'd have such thing I'd feel even more like a Capitol citizen and it's just something I don't want /shrugging
wir-ess:
Are people still laughing over bread jokes I mean seriously
finnicks-sugarcubes asked: If there were Peeta or Gale dolls (I don't know if there are or are going to be) coming out no one would have a problem with it at all.
holoways:
Sometimes, just sometimes, I really wish we could have the movies without all the oh so great marketing concepts (and merchandise), not specifically speaking of the Katniss Barbie doll but about so much more.
You mean like those fantastic lightbulbs too? :P
deep-inthemeadow asked: You never stop to amaze me, Tim. c:
holoways asked: if some people for once would look at the greater picture than just a single kid getting a barbie doll, then maybe they'd show at least RESPECT to someone's opinion which may be harsh but isn't something to laugh at
finnicks-sugarcubes asked: I still don't see the big deal over the dolls. I just don't find it as big of a deal as everyone else apparently does..

Becoz it will sell. U might hate it. Some fans might, but it will sell becoz just like harry potter, this is the new sensation. it’s phenomenal.

georgieh asked: ok everyone, leave tim alone. it's a barbie doll. i agree with tim on this one. but don't give him grief over it, it's not worth it and he doesn't deserve it. let it be.
flawless-jennifer asked: Barbie dolls are meant for young kids right? Why would they want to glamorise the violence when the target demographic for the films and books are for young adults? Why would they want to expand onto the younger years?
Anonymous asked: Lol you're causing drama over a barbie doll. How pathetic.

finnicks-sugarcubes:
“bodily hatred” ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I have never met a little girl who doesn’t love Barbie dolls, and I’ve never met one who thinks they need to be tall, skinny, beautiful, and married to be happy because of a Barbie. They don’t make little kids think they need to be like anything, it’s a damn toy for crying out loud. I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. Stop overreacting.

flawless-jennifer asked: idk why they would make Katniss into a frickin' BARBIE doll. Where is the connection?
flawless-jennifer asked: I don't think Katniss should be made into a Barbie doll..
People know how much I hate Barbie dolls now.
Welp.
teamjohannamason:
I think we’re all reading way too much into this
Mattel wants money
They make a Katniss Barbie doll
It’s true.
But they’re making money from a bad thing.

bakerstreetgang:
Katniss shouldn’t be a Barbie doll because some sadistic kid will light it up on fire and say “Mom look she’s the Girl on Fire” and next you’ll see a string of house fires caused by Barbie dolls therefore branding our generation the awkwardest cause of infernos ever.
what am I talking about.
all hail Robyn
I laughed omg

finnicks-sugarcubes:
Oh my god. are people actually mad about the Katniss barbie doll because they think it’s gonna encourage little kids to want to make their own Barbie versions of the hunger games and have the Katniss doll kill everyone. Calm the fuck down. It’s a Barbie doll.
That’s not why people are angry, though.
People are angry because Barbie dolls, in general, send bad...
sixdegreesofbevinkacon asked: My dad went in to speak with the principal about it. He sent my mother and my sister out in the hall and proceeded to scream at the principal because of the way he was treating my sister; he treated this girl, who wasn't any older than seven, like she had done something wrong by defending herself.

excuse me person who does not follow me, but why am i not on your follow forever?
rude
sixdegreesofbevinkacon asked: My family first came into gender roles when my sister was attending a private Christian school in our former city. My sister was pushed down by two boys then punished when she tried to fight back. The boys were trying to push her off of "their" bench that she was sitting on. My sister and the two boys were hauled into the principal's office, where my own sister, who hadn't done...
I don't see what the big deal is with this Katniss...

spears-and-tears:
They’re just making Katniss, not a bunch of the characters and an arena.
And if you’re going to start yelling about the violence that can occur from it, you should probably start yelling at all of the 11 year olds playing grand theft auto and call of duty, too.
I think I’ve made my point.
or we could talk about how they’re sexualizing a character who isn’t...
crossovergenius asked: Political side of things aside, it worries me how young of an audience a Barbie is marketing to. Selfishly, I want the movie to hold true to the novel and not be dumbed down for younger audiences. There are a lot of resonances in that book - it's a heavy story - and I don't want that left out for some empty plotted action film for the whole family or something. It's rated PG-13....
