an amazon wish list for the fantasy and science fiction enthusiast

Writing by Jana on Wednesday, 28 of May , 2008 at 5:14 pm

I know, I know — Amazon is evil. But the place sells some hillarious shit too.

This is just a few of the weird, funny, and/or disturbing things I found there today instead of actually, uh, working.

And my birthday is coming up in September. I think I’ll start hinting to the boyfriend just how badly I’ve been wanting my very own tank.

$20,000.00 is really a bargain for that kind of power.

I was sick.

And currently am bringing a kitty back from the brink of death.

Hopefully.

If you misbehave, mommy and daddy will have to drive an ice-pick through your brain

Some pretty messed up shit was done to the mentally ill and “unstable” way back when. Lobotomies is a perfect example of that. I came accross this book MY LOBOTOMY  by Howard Dully who, at the age of 12, was one of the youngest people to ever get the procedure.  That was in 1960.

Lobotomies freak me out.

Vogue cover controversy? Huh?

I don’t get it.

Is it because I’m white? Or because I’m Canadian?

The LeBron James and Gisele Vogue cover for April is stirring up quite the controversy as some dissenting voices claim it promotes racism. Or something along those lines, I’m a little confused.

“According to the allegations, King James looks like King Kong clutching Fay Wray on the latest cover of Vogue, and the image… “conjures up this idea of a dangerous black man.”

What the fuck? I mean come on.

I know that Canada has its own racial issues as much as we love to promote ourselves as the most “multicultural” and “diverse” nation in the world when that reality only exists in Toronto and other big cities. But American race relations freak me right out in the way they’re portrayed in the media and through bullshit like this.  

If Lebron were clutching Oprah or Beyonce, would it still be racist? Or is it the image of the white woman juxtaposed with a big black man that makes people even take notice of this?

Lebron looks like he’s having fun; not like he’s about to bust a cap in my ass.
