Something I've been wanting to rant about for a while:

So, one or two years ago, there was an ad campaign in the finnish women's magazine MeNaiset (the name can be translated as WeWomen or UsWomen) to raise awareness of breast cancer. The ad features a picture of a shirtless woman dressed in pirate garb and wearing a large "eyepatch" over one missing breast.

Now, when I first saw it, I thought it was creative and powerful and would make people stop and think. But get this, apparently there were people who just plain missed the point and complained about the other breast, which was bare. I saw some discussion about it on the 'net some months ago and all I could think was: "We're FINNS, for God's sake! The average woman reading this magazine is between 25 and 60 years of age and must've seen thousands of boobs belonging to other women she's never even spoken with, thanks to public saunas and whatnot. Bare nipples in women's magazines are not unheard of, and the ad was not a sexual one, so I fail to see the problem.

I'm including the picture here for those of you who are interested:

As much as I want to not cut it, I realize that not every country would consider it worksafe, especially taken out of context )

Primal needs a sequel. Or a prequel, I don't care, I need more of that game.

In other news, I cannot afford to continue gaming on the next generation consoles. The games are already too pricey and the next generation games will apparently be even more expensive.

This computer is also on its last legs, as is the ADSL modem. It keeps disconnecting and it takes up to 20 minutes to connect when I turn the computer on. O joy.

And lastly, what the fuck is wrong with the people responsible for the new version of Biker Mice From Mars? Where is Limburger? He and his gang were half the fun in the series. Why is 2/3 of everything done in mediocre 3D? It's funny how the animators were capable of drawing the bikes by hand 13 years ago and make them look way better. I mean, at least the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had better animation than the old one. What gives?
Just give me the old series on DVD, kthnxbai.
