I shook my fist alongside Catherine when she blogged about the Yogurt Wars. However, I have my own yogurt scandal: the conspiracy to deny me fatty yogurt. (I spurn you Liberté, for denying me yogurt that is both organic AND full-fat!!) So I loved this video poking fun at the bananas notion that all a gal needs is her pilates mat and (fat-free) yogurt to weather the trials and tribulations of life…

The woman who does these videos is my new hero. This one up on Feministing today about a new cable channel entirely devoted to weddings is also really funny, in between being completely horrifying: http://feministing.com/archives/00930...

Cate: I've watched the wedding one three times today and sent it to just about every friend I have. As someone who is having a "wedding" shortly it hit home hard. Hopefully I'm able to do everything in my power to avoid everything she so smartly mocks.

(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
